2012 Chevrolet Tahoe Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Chevrolet Tahoe, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Tahoe could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Tahoe maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Tahoe's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Tahoe. 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.

Could your 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to 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. 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 Tahoe 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 Tahoe) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Tahoe won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 Tahoe. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe.

Routine upkeep for your Chevrolet Tahoe suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Chevrolet Tahoe suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Chevrolet Tahoe's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Chevrolet Tahoe services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Chevrolet Tahoe cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Chevrolet Tahoe? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it.
