2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Suzuki Grand Vitara and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Grand Vitara. 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 Vitara, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Suzuki 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Grand Vitara's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Grand Vitara’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara 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 Grand Vitara 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 Suzuki Grand Vitara 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. 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 Suzuki Grand Vitara 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 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara'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 2011 Grand Vitara. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Suzuki Grand Vitara can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Suzuki Grand Vitara 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 Suzuki Grand Vitara's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Suzuki Grand Vitara maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Suzuki Grand Vitara’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too.
