Dont let anyone tell you different about the maintenance on the H1, not only is it vital, but it is expensive. The 2003 models and newer cover all of the scheduled maintenance, but prior to 2003, it is approximately 1500.00 every 12,000 miles. This is a group a maintenance, there is then a group A and B at 18000 miles and then the group ABC at 24000 miles. The intermediate maintenance scheduled can run from 200.00 to 1000.00 dependent on what is needed. The scheduled maintenance is so important that they will not do warranty work if the schedule is not fullfilled. I have ball joints replaced at 12200 miles that would not have been covered under warranty if the maintenance was not performed. Some people I know have gotten away without the maintanance checks, but they are pavement princesses that have never seen dirt, rock or water. Make certain that when any maintenance is performed that the book is completely filled out, it is one of the largest indicators of the resale value of your HUMMER. Also, with the 2003 and later the cost of the vehicle will stay a little higher, because it reflects the cost of the scheduled maintenance.
