2014 Chevrolet Equinox Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Equinox and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Equinox has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Equinox maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. 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 maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2014 Chevrolet Equinox problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 Equinox's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Equinox may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 Equinox 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 Equinox could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2014 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 2014 Equinox. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 2014 Chevrolet Equinox.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Equinox can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components 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.

If you skip recommended Chevrolet Equinox services, 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. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Chevrolet Equinox? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2014 Chevrolet Equinox maintenance and repairs.
