1988 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Maintenance

When it comes to your Chevrolet S10 Blazer, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your S10 Blazer 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 S10 Blazer, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1988 Chevrolet S10 Blazer 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. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your S10 Blazer perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Chevrolet S10 Blazer problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1988 Chevrolet S10 Blazer for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your S10 Blazer. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1988 Chevrolet S10 Blazer? 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. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your S10 Blazer stranded. Your Chevrolet S10 Blazer could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1988 Chevrolet S10 Blazer's engine run smoother.
