Take care of your Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Avalanche 1500. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Avalanche 1500 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Avalanche 1500's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Avalanche 1500. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Avalanche 1500 may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 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 Avalanche 1500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2006 Avalanche 1500. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Chevrolet Avalanche 1500's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 maintenance, 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 Avalanche 1500 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Chevrolet Avalanche 1500? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too.
