2017 Jeep Cherokee Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Jeep Cherokee, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Cherokee 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 Cherokee maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2017 Jeep Cherokee!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Jeep themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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 Cherokee running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2017 Jeep Cherokee problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2017 Jeep Cherokee for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Cherokee’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2017 Jeep Cherokee be ready for a new battery? 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).

Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Jeep Cherokee battery, and so can frequent short drives.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Cherokee) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Jeep Cherokee could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
