2004 Suzuki Vitara Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Suzuki Vitara to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Vitara has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Vitara maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2004 Suzuki Vitara!

Suzuki 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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like 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 Vitara's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2004 Suzuki Vitara problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2004 Suzuki Vitara and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Vitara'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 Suzuki Vitara? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Vitara may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Suzuki Vitara battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Vitara stranded. Your Suzuki Vitara won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2004 Suzuki Vitara running newer, longer. See Suzuki's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2004 Vitara in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 2004 Suzuki Vitara.
