Overview of Essential Suzuki Grand Vitara Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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 Grand Vitara’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Grand Vitara) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Suzuki Grand Vitara won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2013 Grand Vitara. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara.

Routine upkeep for your Suzuki Grand Vitara suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Suzuki Grand Vitara 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 Suzuki Grand Vitara's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Suzuki Grand Vitara 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. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Suzuki Grand Vitara cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Suzuki Grand Vitara radiator? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara maintenance and repairs.
