Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT!

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. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Trailblazer EXT's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT problems.

Overview of Essential Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Trailblazer EXT may need a replacement battery sooner. 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT.
