2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV Maintenance

When it comes to your Chevrolet Bolt EV, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Bolt EV has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Bolt EV perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Bolt EV's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 Bolt EV battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 Bolt EV won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Routine upkeep for your Chevrolet Bolt EV 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 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Chevrolet Bolt EV's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Chevrolet Bolt EV maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
