1995 GMC Sonoma Maintenance

When it comes to your GMC Sonoma, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Sonoma. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. 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 1995 GMC Sonoma!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Sonoma running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1995 GMC Sonoma problems in the future.

Bring your 1995 GMC Sonoma to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. 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 1995 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. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Sonoma stranded. Your GMC Sonoma could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1995 GMC Sonoma running newer, longer. To learn how often GMC recommends you have the oil changed in your 1995 Sonoma, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1995 GMC Sonoma? We can help with that, too!

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your GMC Sonoma's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine GMC Sonoma maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire GMC Sonoma cooling, heating, and climate control system.
