Your Guide to 2017 Chevrolet Sonic Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Chevrolet Sonic, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Sonic has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Sonic 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 2017 Chevrolet Sonic!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Sonic perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2017 Chevrolet Sonic problems.

Overview of Essential Chevrolet Sonic Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2017 Chevrolet Sonic for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Sonic. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2017 Chevrolet Sonic? 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). 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 Sonic battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Sonic) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Sonic could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2017 Chevrolet Sonic's engine run smoother. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2017 Sonic in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2017 Chevrolet Sonic? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Chevrolet Sonic 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. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Chevrolet Sonic steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet Sonic's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Chevrolet Sonic maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Chevrolet Sonic engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Chevrolet Sonic radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it.

2017 Chevrolet Sonic Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 2017 Chevrolet Sonic. Get answers to common Chevrolet Sonic maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Chevrolet Sonic? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When does my Chevrolet Sonic need high mileage oil? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your Chevrolet Sonic? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  • Can Chevrolet dashboard warning lights wait? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Chevrolet Sonic to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
