1999 Chevrolet Prizm Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Prizm and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Prizm has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 Prizm, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1999 Chevrolet Prizm maintenance schedule!

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. 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Prizm running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1999 Chevrolet Prizm problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1999 Chevrolet Prizm and our technicians will jump right in 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Prizm’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1999 Chevrolet Prizm. 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 Prizm battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Prizm) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Prizm won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1999 Chevrolet Prizm running newer, longer. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 1999 Prizm, check out the information table at the beginning 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 1999 Chevrolet Prizm.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication.

If you fall behind on routine Chevrolet Prizm maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
