2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Chrysler PT Cruiser and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your PT Cruiser could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 PT Cruiser maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chrysler themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your PT Cruiser running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your PT Cruiser’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chrysler PT Cruiser battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 Chrysler PT Cruiser won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser's engine run smoother. See Chrysler's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2006 PT Cruiser in the chart at the top 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chrysler PT Cruiser can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Chrysler PT Cruiser suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chrysler PT Cruiser's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Chrysler PT Cruiser 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!). 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 Chrysler PT Cruiser engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Chrysler PT Cruiser? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it.
