What to Know About 2010 Chevrolet Malibu Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Malibu and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Malibu has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Malibu, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2010 Chevrolet Malibu!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Malibu perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2010 Chevrolet Malibu problems later.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Chevrolet Malibu Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2010 Chevrolet Malibu for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Malibu. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2010 Chevrolet Malibu 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Malibu 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Malibu stranded. Your Chevrolet Malibu won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2010 Chevrolet Malibu 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 2010 Malibu. 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2010 Chevrolet Malibu.

Maintaining your Chevrolet Malibu steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. 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, provide Chevrolet Malibu steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Chevrolet Malibu's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Chevrolet Malibu 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 Malibu cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Chevrolet Malibu? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2010 Chevrolet Malibu maintenance.
