What to Know About 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Trailblazer and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Trailblazer has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Trailblazer maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer!

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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Chevrolet Trailblazer Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Trailblazer’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. 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 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Trailblazer battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 Trailblazer) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Trailblazer 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 help your 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2006 Trailblazer. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Trailblazer can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Chevrolet Trailblazer steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Chevrolet Trailblazer's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Chevrolet Trailblazer maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Chevrolet Trailblazer engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Chevrolet Trailblazer radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer maintenance and repairs.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.

2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. Get answers to common Chevrolet Trailblazer maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Chevrolet Trailblazer? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Chevrolet Trailblazer to high mileage oil? If your Chevrolet Trailblazer has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Chevrolet? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Chevrolet Trailblazer in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
