1987 Chevrolet S10 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet S10 and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your S10. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get S10 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1987 Chevrolet S10!

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 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's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1987 Chevrolet S10 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1987 Chevrolet S10 and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your S10. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1987 Chevrolet S10. 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet S10 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Chevrolet S10 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
