2011 Chevrolet Avalanche Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Chevrolet Avalanche, 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 Avalanche could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Avalanche, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Avalanche running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Avalanche'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 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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 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 Avalanche stranded. Your Chevrolet Avalanche won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche 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 2011 Avalanche. 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 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche? We can help with that, too!
