1996 Chevrolet Impala Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Impala and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Impala. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Impala, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1996 Chevrolet Impala maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Impala perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1996 Chevrolet Impala problems in the future.

Bring your 1996 Chevrolet Impala to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Impala’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1996 Chevrolet Impala. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Impala may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Impala battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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 Impala won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1996 Chevrolet Impala's engine run smoother. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1996 Impala in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 1996 Chevrolet Impala? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Chevrolet Impala steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Chevrolet Impala suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet Impala's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Chevrolet Impala services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Chevrolet Impala’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Chevrolet Impala? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too.
