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.
Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2006 GMC Yukon XL 2500? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.
