2006 Pontiac Solstice Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Pontiac Solstice, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Solstice. 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 Solstice, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2006 Pontiac Solstice!

Pontiac knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Solstice's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2006 Pontiac Solstice problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2006 Pontiac Solstice and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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 Solstice’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2006 Pontiac Solstice 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 Solstice may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Pontiac Solstice battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Solstice) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Pontiac Solstice won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2006 Pontiac Solstice engine. See Pontiac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2006 Solstice in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2006 Pontiac Solstice.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Pontiac Solstice can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Pontiac Solstice suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Pontiac Solstice's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Pontiac Solstice maintenance, 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 Pontiac Solstice cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Pontiac Solstice radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2006 Pontiac Solstice maintenance.

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