2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Chevrolet Cobalt, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Cobalt could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 Cobalt maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Cobalt's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt problems.

Bring your 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Cobalt’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Cobalt may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet Cobalt 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 Cobalt stranded. Your Chevrolet Cobalt could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt's engine run smoother. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 2006 Cobalt, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Cobalt can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Chevrolet Cobalt steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Chevrolet Cobalt's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Chevrolet Cobalt maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.
