Essential Maintenance to Keep Your GMC Sierra 1500 Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Sierra 1500. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Sierra 1500 stranded. Your GMC Sierra 1500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
