2009 Chevrolet Avalanche Maintenance

You want your Chevrolet Avalanche to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Avalanche has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Avalanche maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche maintenance schedule!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche 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. 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 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Avalanche may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Avalanche battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Avalanche) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Avalanche won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche running newer, longer. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 2009 Avalanche, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche.

Routine upkeep for your Chevrolet Avalanche suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide Chevrolet Avalanche steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet Avalanche's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Chevrolet Avalanche maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Chevrolet Avalanche’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Need a new Chevrolet Avalanche radiator? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche maintenance.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.
