How often should I service my 1993 GMC Sonoma?
When it comes to your GMC Sonoma, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Sonoma could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Sonoma maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1993 GMC Sonoma!
This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, GMC themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Sonoma's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1993 GMC Sonoma problems.
Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1993 GMC Sonoma 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Sonoma's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.
Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1993 GMC Sonoma? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Sonoma may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC Sonoma battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your GMC Sonoma won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1993 GMC Sonoma's engine run smoother.
