2018 Chevrolet Traverse Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Chevrolet Traverse, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Traverse has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Traverse, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2018 Chevrolet Traverse maintenance schedule!

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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Traverse's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2018 Chevrolet Traverse problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2018 Chevrolet Traverse 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Traverse’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2018 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Chevrolet Traverse battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Traverse stranded. Your Chevrolet Traverse could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2018 Chevrolet Traverse running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2018 Traverse. 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 2018 Chevrolet Traverse.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Traverse 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 the appropriate Chevrolet Traverse steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet Traverse's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Chevrolet Traverse maintenance, 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. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Chevrolet Traverse’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Chevrolet Traverse? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it.
