Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Chevrolet Express 2500 Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1996 Chevrolet Express 2500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Express 2500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1996 Chevrolet Express 2500 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet Express 2500 battery. 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 2500 stranded. Your Chevrolet Express 2500 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 prevent premature wear on your 1996 Chevrolet Express 2500 engine.
