Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2005 GMC Sierra 3500 and our technicians will jump right in 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.

We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2005 GMC Sierra 3500? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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 3500 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Sierra 3500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Sierra 3500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
