2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your GMC Sierra 1500 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Sierra 1500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Sierra 1500 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2013 GMC Sierra 1500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Sierra 1500's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 problems in the future.

Bring your 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Sierra 1500. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Sierra 1500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Sierra 1500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
