2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Chevrolet Silverado 1500, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Silverado 1500 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 Silverado 1500 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 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Silverado 1500 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 problems.

Bring your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 Silverado 1500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 be ready for a new battery? 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).

Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 battery.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Silverado 1500 stranded. Your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
