2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT Maintenance

Take care of your Cadillac Escalade EXT and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Escalade EXT has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Escalade EXT, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Cadillac, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Escalade EXT running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Escalade EXT's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Cadillac Escalade EXT battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Escalade EXT stranded. Your Cadillac Escalade EXT won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
