1999 Chevrolet Astro Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Chevrolet Astro, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Astro could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Astro maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1999 Chevrolet Astro!

Chevrolet knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Astro perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1999 Chevrolet Astro problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1999 Chevrolet Astro and our technicians will jump right in with 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Astro’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1999 Chevrolet Astro? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Astro may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet Astro 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Chevrolet Astro won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1999 Chevrolet Astro's engine run smoother. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1999 Astro in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1999 Chevrolet Astro? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Astro can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Chevrolet Astro suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Chevrolet Astro's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Chevrolet Astro maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Chevrolet Astro cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Chevrolet Astro? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it.
