Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2002 GMC Sierra 2500!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, GMC themselves.

Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Sierra 2500 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2002 GMC Sierra 2500 problems in the future.

Bring your 2002 GMC Sierra 2500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Sierra 2500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2002 GMC Sierra 2500? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Sierra 2500 stranded. Your GMC Sierra 2500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
