2017 Dodge Grand Caravan Maintenance

When it comes to your Dodge Grand Caravan, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Grand Caravan. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Grand Caravan, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan maintenance schedule!

Dodge 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Grand Caravan running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan problems later.

Bring your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Grand Caravan's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan? 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 Grand Caravan battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Grand Caravan) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Grand Caravan won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan 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 2017 Grand Caravan. 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan? We can help with that, too!

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Dodge Grand Caravan's steering and suspension system.
