This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves.

Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Express 3500's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1999 Chevrolet Express 3500 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1999 Chevrolet Express 3500 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Express 3500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1999 Chevrolet Express 3500? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Express 3500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Express 3500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 3500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1999 Chevrolet Express 3500's engine run smoother.

Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 1999 Chevrolet Express 3500.
