2003 Dodge Intrepid Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Dodge Intrepid 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 Intrepid. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Intrepid maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2003 Dodge Intrepid!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Intrepid running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2003 Dodge Intrepid problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2003 Dodge Intrepid and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 Intrepid’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2003 Dodge Intrepid. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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. 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 Intrepid 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 2003 Dodge Intrepid running newer, longer. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 2003 Intrepid, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2003 Dodge Intrepid.

Maintaining your Dodge Intrepid steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Dodge Intrepid's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Dodge Intrepid services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Dodge Intrepid cooling, heating, and climate control system.
