QUICK ANSWER
Heavy duty GM pickups such as the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD and the GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 HD need a service plan matched to towing and heat. We handle diagnostics, oils and filters, driveline checks, cooling validation and ADAS verification. A free 160 point safety check is included. Victoria pick up and delivery available.
SUMMARY:
• Tow focused fluids, brakes and cooling checks
• Diesel priorities: DEF, DPF and intake health
• Australian owned, 5,000 plus conversions, team around 250, fast parts logistics
INTRO
Sierra 2500 and Silverado 2500 and 3500 are built to haul. We keep them dependable in Victorian conditions, from long kilometres to steep climbs and heavy trailers.
INTERVALS AND INCLUSIONS
• Interval: 10,000 to 15,000 km or 12 months, shorter with frequent towing
• Inclusions: oils and filters, scan, inspection, tyre rotation, alignment check, road test
• Free 160 point safety check with clear photos and notes
DRIVELINE AND COOLING
We set transmission, transfer case and differential service timing based on temperature history and use. We verify cooling capacity and airflow to keep temps stable on climbs and in summer heat.
BRAKES, TYRES AND ALIGNMENT
More mass means more brake and tyre care. We measure pad life and rotor condition, set correct load pressures and align for stability under load.
DIESEL PRIORITIES IN REAL USE
• DEF quality and consumption checks in summer heat
• DPF soot load and temperature history, catching early forced regen issues
• Intake and EGR health so the engine stays efficient on long grades
WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DAY
We scan, service, rotate, align, road test and document. If we find work, you get a simple choice of parts and timelines. No surprises. Our engineers, diagnostic technicians and auto electricians collaborate on complex faults, so hard problems get solved once.

SHORT CASE STUDY
Silverado 2500 towing a horse float, brake shudder and pull to the left. We measured rotor runout and pad thickness, replaced components with tow friendly parts, aligned the front end and validated ADAS. Stopping power improved and the pull disappeared.
