Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT

Bring your 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 Trailblazer EXT. 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 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT. 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Trailblazer EXT stranded. Your Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT 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 prevent premature wear on your 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT engine. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2002 Trailblazer EXT in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication.

If you fall behind on routine Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
