You want your GMC Sonoma to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Sonoma has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

Just follow your 2004 GMC Sonoma maintenance schedule!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Sonoma perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2004 GMC Sonoma problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2004 GMC Sonoma 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Sonoma’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2004 GMC Sonoma. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to 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 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Sonoma) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Sonoma won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2004 GMC Sonoma's engine run smoother.

Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
