2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT Maintenance

You want your Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Trailblazer EXT. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Trailblazer EXT maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2006 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. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Trailblazer EXT perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and our technicians will jump right in 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Trailblazer EXT's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last 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 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT engine. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 2006 Trailblazer EXT, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.

If you skip recommended Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
