2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Chevrolet Captiva Sport and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Captiva Sport. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Captiva Sport, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport!

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. 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Captiva Sport perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport problems in the future.

Bring your 2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Captiva Sport’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport 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). 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 Captiva Sport 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Captiva Sport stranded. Your Chevrolet Captiva Sport won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 Captiva Sport. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Captiva Sport can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. 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 Captiva Sport 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. Components within your Chevrolet Captiva Sport's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Chevrolet Captiva Sport 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.
