2011 Chevrolet Express 1500 Maintenance Schedule

You want your Chevrolet Express 1500 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Express 1500 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 Express 1500 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 2011 Chevrolet Express 1500!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Express 1500 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2011 Chevrolet Express 1500 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 Chevrolet Express 1500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Express 1500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2011 Chevrolet Express 1500 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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. 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 Express 1500 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 help your 2011 Chevrolet Express 1500's engine run smoother. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 2011 Express 1500, 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. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2011 Chevrolet Express 1500.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Express 1500 can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Chevrolet Express 1500 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet Express 1500's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Chevrolet Express 1500 services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
