It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 GMC Sierra 3500 HD!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, GMC themselves. 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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Sierra 3500 HD's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2009 GMC Sierra 3500 HD problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2009 GMC Sierra 3500 HD and an expert technician will begin by performing 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2009 GMC Sierra 3500 HD.
