How often should I service my 2012 Dodge Avenger?
You want your Dodge Avenger to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Avenger has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Avenger maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 Dodge Avenger!
This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Avenger's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 Dodge Avenger problems later.
Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Dodge Avenger for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Avenger’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.
Could your 2012 Dodge Avenger be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 Dodge Avenger battery. 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 Dodge Avenger won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2012 Dodge Avenger engine. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 2012 Avenger, check out the information table at the beginning 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2012 Dodge Avenger? We can help with that, too!
Routine upkeep for your Dodge Avenger suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Dodge Avenger steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Dodge Avenger's steering system require regular maintenance.
Without routine Dodge Avenger maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Dodge Avenger engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
