2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chrysler PT Cruiser 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 PT Cruiser. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your PT Cruiser, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser maintenance schedule!

Chrysler 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your PT Cruiser's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your PT Cruiser. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your PT Cruiser may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chrysler PT Cruiser battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 Chrysler PT Cruiser 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 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser running newer, longer. See Chrysler's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2008 PT Cruiser in the chart at the top of this page. 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 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser.

Maintaining your Chrysler PT Cruiser steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Chrysler PT Cruiser 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Chrysler PT Cruiser's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Chrysler PT Cruiser services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.
