Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Silverado 1500 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 problems.

Bring your 2009 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Silverado 1500. 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 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 battery, and so can frequent short drives.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Silverado 1500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
