Oldsmobile knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Bravada’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Bravada) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Oldsmobile Bravada could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
