2003 Honda CR-V Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Honda CR-V to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your CR-V. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get CR-V maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2003 Honda CR-V maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Honda themselves. 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 CR-V running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2003 Honda CR-V problems.

Bring your 2003 Honda CR-V to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 CR-V’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2003 Honda CR-V be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your CR-V may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Honda CR-V 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your CR-V stranded. Your Honda CR-V 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 help your 2003 Honda CR-V'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 2003 CR-V. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2003 Honda CR-V.

Routine upkeep for your Honda CR-V suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Honda CR-V steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Honda CR-V's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Honda CR-V 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. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Honda CR-V engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Honda CR-V? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2003 Honda CR-V maintenance and repairs.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.
