1987 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet S10 Blazer and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your S10 Blazer could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 1987 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; 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 S10 Blazer's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1987 Chevrolet S10 Blazer problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1987 Chevrolet S10 Blazer for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1987 Chevrolet S10 Blazer? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your S10 Blazer may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet S10 Blazer battery. 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty S10 Blazer) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet S10 Blazer won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
