You want your GMC Yukon XL 1500 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Yukon XL 1500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

Just follow your 2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Yukon XL 1500 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Yukon XL 1500. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC Yukon XL 1500 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. 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 Yukon XL 1500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
