Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Escalade ESV, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Cadillac themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Escalade ESV's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Escalade ESV. 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 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Cadillac Escalade ESV battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Escalade ESV stranded. Your Cadillac Escalade ESV won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV engine.
