2012 Chevrolet Impala Maintenance Schedule

You want your Chevrolet Impala to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, 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. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 Chevrolet Impala!

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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2012 Chevrolet Impala problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Chevrolet Impala for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Impala's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2012 Chevrolet Impala be ready for a new battery? 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. 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 Impala could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2012 Chevrolet Impala engine. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2012 Impala in the chart at the top of this page. 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2012 Chevrolet Impala.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Impala can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Chevrolet Impala's steering system with regular maintenance.
