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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes.

Overview of Essential Chevrolet S10 Blazer Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1989 Chevrolet S10 Blazer and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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 1989 Chevrolet S10 Blazer? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to 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. 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 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1989 Chevrolet S10 Blazer's engine run smoother. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 1989 S10 Blazer, 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1989 Chevrolet S10 Blazer.

Maintaining your Chevrolet S10 Blazer steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Chevrolet S10 Blazer suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.

If you fall behind on routine Chevrolet S10 Blazer maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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.
