2008 Chevrolet HHR Maintenance Schedule

You want your Chevrolet HHR to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your HHR 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. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your HHR, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2008 Chevrolet HHR maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your HHR running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2008 Chevrolet HHR problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2008 Chevrolet HHR and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your HHR’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2008 Chevrolet HHR be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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 HHR 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty HHR) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet HHR won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2008 Chevrolet HHR running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2008 HHR. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 2008 Chevrolet HHR? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet HHR can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Chevrolet HHR steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet HHR's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Chevrolet HHR maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Chevrolet HHR cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Chevrolet HHR? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it.
