2021 Chevrolet Equinox Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Chevrolet Equinox, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Equinox has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Equinox maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2021 Chevrolet Equinox!

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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Equinox's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2021 Chevrolet Equinox problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2021 Chevrolet Equinox and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. 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 2021 Chevrolet Equinox be ready for a new battery? 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Equinox battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Equinox) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Equinox won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2021 Chevrolet Equinox's engine run smoother. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2021 Equinox in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2021 Chevrolet Equinox.

Maintaining your Chevrolet Equinox steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Chevrolet Equinox 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. 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.
