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

Bring your 2006 GMC Yukon XL 2500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment.

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.
