2000 Dodge Intrepid Maintenance

Take care of your Dodge Intrepid and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Intrepid. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Intrepid, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2000 Dodge Intrepid!

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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Intrepid perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2000 Dodge Intrepid problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2000 Dodge Intrepid for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Intrepid’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2000 Dodge Intrepid? 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 Intrepid may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge Intrepid 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Intrepid stranded. Your Dodge Intrepid could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
