If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Suburban 1500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services.

It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2006 Chevrolet Suburban 1500!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2006 Chevrolet Suburban 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).

Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Suburban 1500 battery, and so can frequent short drives.
