2010 Chevrolet Equinox Maintenance Schedule

You want your Chevrolet Equinox to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Equinox. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Equinox, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2010 Chevrolet Equinox maintenance schedule!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Equinox running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2010 Chevrolet Equinox problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2010 Chevrolet Equinox 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Equinox. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2010 Chevrolet Equinox be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Equinox may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Equinox battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Equinox) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Equinox won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

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 2010 Chevrolet Equinox 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 2010 Equinox. 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2010 Chevrolet Equinox? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Chevrolet Equinox suspension and steering system 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 Chevrolet Equinox steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet Equinox's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Chevrolet Equinox maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Chevrolet Equinox engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Need a new Chevrolet Equinox radiator? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2010 Chevrolet Equinox maintenance and repairs.
