2004 Pontiac Grand Am Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Pontiac Grand Am 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 Grand Am. 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 Grand Am, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2004 Pontiac Grand Am!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Pontiac, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Grand Am perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2004 Pontiac Grand Am problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2004 Pontiac Grand Am for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Grand Am'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 2004 Pontiac Grand Am? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Grand Am may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 Pontiac Grand Am battery. 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Grand Am) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Pontiac Grand Am could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2004 Pontiac Grand Am's engine run smoother.
