2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser Maintenance

Take care of your Chrysler PT Cruiser and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, 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 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chrysler, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your PT Cruiser perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2010 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 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser. 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 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.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser'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 2010 PT Cruiser. 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chrysler PT Cruiser 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, provide Chrysler PT Cruiser steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing 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.
