You want your Chevrolet Express 1500 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Express 1500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Express 1500 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 Chevrolet Express 1500!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Express 1500 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 Chevrolet Express 1500 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2009 Chevrolet Express 1500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 Express 1500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2009 Chevrolet Express 1500. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Express 1500 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Express 1500 stranded. Your Chevrolet Express 1500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
