1986 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Maintenance Schedule

You want your Chevrolet S10 Blazer to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your S10 Blazer. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get S10 Blazer 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 1986 Chevrolet S10 Blazer!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your S10 Blazer perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1986 Chevrolet S10 Blazer problems.

Bring your 1986 Chevrolet S10 Blazer to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your S10 Blazer's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1986 Chevrolet S10 Blazer be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet S10 Blazer battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty S10 Blazer) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet S10 Blazer won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
