Overview of Essential Chevrolet Express 2500 Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2006 Chevrolet Express 2500 and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Express 2500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2006 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Express 2500 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 Express 2500 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Express 2500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Express 2500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2006 Chevrolet Express 2500 running newer, longer.

A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs.
