2002 GMC Sierra 3500 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your GMC Sierra 3500 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Sierra 3500. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Sierra 3500 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2002 GMC Sierra 3500!

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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Sierra 3500 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2002 GMC Sierra 3500 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2002 GMC Sierra 3500 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2002 GMC Sierra 3500. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 3500 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Sierra 3500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Sierra 3500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
