GMC knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations.

Bring your 2001 GMC Sierra 3500 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Sierra 3500. 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 2001 GMC Sierra 3500 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Sierra 3500 stranded. Your GMC Sierra 3500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
