What to Know About 2009 Chevrolet Traverse Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Traverse and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Traverse. 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 Traverse maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse!

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. 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Traverse perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 Chevrolet Traverse problems in the future.

Overview of Essential Chevrolet Traverse Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Traverse's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Traverse may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Traverse 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Traverse stranded. Your Chevrolet Traverse won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse running newer, longer. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2009 Traverse in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Traverse 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 Traverse 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 Traverse's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Chevrolet Traverse services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Chevrolet Traverse cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Chevrolet Traverse? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2009 Chevrolet Traverse maintenance.

Don’t wait until something goes wrong with your car. Visit your nearest location for proactive maintenance today.

2009 Chevrolet Traverse Maintenance Q&A

Take an active role in maintaining your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse. Get answers to common Chevrolet Traverse maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Chevrolet Traverse? 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 does my Chevrolet Traverse need high mileage oil? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your Chevrolet Traverse? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  • Can Chevrolet dashboard warning lights wait? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Chevrolet Traverse to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
