You want your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Silverado 3500. 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 3500 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500!

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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Silverado 3500's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Silverado 3500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Silverado 3500 stranded. Your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 running newer, longer.

We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500.
