What is the maintenance schedule for the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu?
When it comes to your Chevrolet Malibu, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Malibu. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Malibu maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2013 Chevrolet Malibu!
Chevrolet knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Malibu's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2013 Chevrolet Malibu problems.
Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2013 Chevrolet Malibu and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Malibu’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.
Could your 2013 Chevrolet Malibu be ready for a new battery? 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. 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.
Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2013 Chevrolet Malibu's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2013 Malibu. 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 2013 Chevrolet Malibu.
Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Malibu 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. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Chevrolet Malibu steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Chevrolet Malibu's steering system with regular maintenance.
If you skip recommended Chevrolet Malibu services, 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. 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 Malibu’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Need a new Chevrolet Malibu radiator? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2013 Chevrolet Malibu maintenance.
