Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Yukon XL 2500.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Yukon XL 2500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. 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.
