Essential Maintenance to Keep Your GMC Yukon XL 2500 Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2003 GMC Yukon XL 2500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Yukon XL 2500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2003 GMC Yukon XL 2500. 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Yukon XL 2500 may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 Yukon XL 2500 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Yukon XL 2500 stranded. Your GMC Yukon XL 2500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
