2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Bolt EV and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Bolt EV could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Bolt EV, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Bolt EV running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV problems.

Bring your 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Bolt EV’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV be ready for a new battery? 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). 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Bolt EV 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Bolt EV stranded. Your Chevrolet Bolt EV won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Bolt EV can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Chevrolet Bolt EV steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet Bolt EV's steering and suspension system.
