2003 GMC Sierra 2500 Maintenance Schedule

You want your GMC Sierra 2500 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Sierra 2500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Sierra 2500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2003 GMC Sierra 2500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Sierra 2500 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Sierra 2500. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2003 GMC Sierra 2500. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your GMC Sierra 2500 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Sierra 2500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Sierra 2500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
