• Oil changes: Fresh oil and a quality filter reduce wear under heat and load; intervals vary by engine, model year, and use—ask us to tailor a plan for you.
• Tires and alignment: Rotations help your all-terrains wear evenly; alignments and balances curb pull, vibration, and feathering from potholes or trail impacts.
• Brake service: We inspect pads, rotors, hoses, and fluid so stopping power stays strong—especially important when towing or running larger tire packages.
• Battery and electrical: Load tests catch weak batteries early; we clean terminals and verify accessory draws from lights, winches, and chargers.
• Transmission and 4×4 systems: We evaluate fluid condition and shift quality; transfer case and differential services are scheduled based on mileage and usage.
• Steering and suspension: Track bars, ball joints, and shocks get extra attention on off-road trucks to prevent shimmy and maintain confident handling.
• Cooling and filters: Coolant checks, engine and cabin filters, and hose inspections keep temperatures stable and airflow clean in stop-and-go conditions.

Not sure where to begin? A quick multi-point inspection will identify what your Gladiator needs today and what can wait until your next visit.

Because driving in Greenville, SC means a mix of highway miles, urban traffic, and occasional elevation changes in the foothills, we emphasize inspections that catch alignment drift, brake wear, and fluid degradation early. Use these steps to keep your Gladiator feeling tight, safe, and trail-ready.

1. Every 5,000 miles or 6 months: Replace engine oil and filter; rotate tires; inspect brakes; top off fluids; check lights and wipers; inspect underbody, steering, and 4×4 components; set tire pressures and torque lug nuts.
2. Every 10,000 miles or 12 months: Replace cabin air filter; perform a wheel alignment check and balance tires; test battery and charging system; inspect brake hoses/lines, suspension bushings, and exhaust for leaks or contact points.
3. Every 15,000 miles or 18 months: Inspect or replace engine air filter (earlier if you drive dusty roads); lubricate brake slide pins where applicable; examine shocks/struts for leaks; check U-joints, driveshafts, and axle seals.
4. Every 20,000 miles or 24 months: Test brake fluid for moisture and service as needed; check coolant concentration and hose integrity; if you tow or off-road frequently, service transfer case and differential fluids at this time.
5. Every 30,000 miles or 36 months: Inspect spark plugs per engine requirements; replace engine air filter if not already done; re-evaluate alignment and tire wear patterns; inspect wheel bearings and front-end hardware for play.
6. Every 40,000 miles or 48 months: Review automatic transmission service needs (fluid/filter based on condition and duty cycle); inspect serpentine belt and tensioner; evaluate suspension joints, track bar, and steering linkage for wear.
7. Every 50,000 miles or 60 months: Service cooling system as required by age/condition; plan for brake pad and rotor replacement if measured wear indicates; inspect heat shields and exhaust mounts for rattle or corrosion.
8. Every 60,000 miles or 72 months: Replace spark plugs on engines that call for this interval; change transfer case and axle fluids under normal service if not already performed; replace the cabin filter again and inspect HVAC performance.
9. After off-road use, water crossings, or heavy towing: Check differential and transfer case fluids for contamination; clean and dry brake components; re-torque suspension and skid plate fasteners; inspect tires for cuts and sidewall damage.
10. Before trips or accessory installs: Verify load ratings, tire pressures (including spare), and hitch hardware; after lift kits, wheels, or bumpers, get alignment and steering recalibration checks to maintain safe handling.

If you’re unsure which engine or gear ratios your Gladiator has—or whether your driving qualifies as severe duty—bring it by and we’ll review your build sheet, measure current wear, and set up an interval plan that fits your truck and your routine.
