Overview of Essential Chevrolet Express 3500 Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2004 Chevrolet Express 3500 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. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2004 Chevrolet Express 3500. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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 3500 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Express 3500 stranded. Your Chevrolet Express 3500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2004 Chevrolet Express 3500 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2004 Express 3500. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2004 Chevrolet Express 3500? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Chevrolet Express 3500 steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Chevrolet Express 3500 steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Chevrolet Express 3500's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Chevrolet Express 3500 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
