Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Chevrolet Traverse
Route 1 Chevrolet - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Chevrolet Traverse
Keeping your Chevrolet Traverse on its A-game is simple when you follow a clear, practical maintenance plan tailored to how and where you drive. From family road trips to daily commutes and winter weather, your Traverse’s 3-row capability, available AWD, and safety systems like StabiliTrak rely on fresh fluids, healthy tires, and timely inspections. At Route 1 Chevrolet, in Momence, IL, we pair factory-trained technicians with GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco to help you maintain like clockwork—so you get confident performance, strong resale value, and fewer surprises. While your Owner’s Manual is the final word for your model year and equipment, the schedule below reflects what most Traverse drivers can use as a starting point. If you tow, idle in traffic often, or face extreme temperatures, we’ll help you adjust intervals for Severe Service. Every visit includes a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection, and we keep you informed with transparent recommendations and service histories. The result is a Traverse that starts, stops, and steers the way Chevrolet engineered it to—mile after mile. Proactive care also protects complex components you never see, from catalytic converters and oxygen sensors to wheel bearings and electronic modules. Fluids degrade with time as well as mileage, rubber parts age, and software calibrations evolve—addressing these on a schedule prevents small wear from turning into big repairs. Below is a straightforward guide you can reference between visits; if you have questions about model-year differences, accessories, or warranty coverage, we will review them with you before any work is performed.

Between services, our team makes maintenance effortless. We start with a VIN-specific review of your Traverse’s maintenance indicators and GM bulletins, then create a plan that fits your driving habits. Our Certified Service experts use factory diagnostics to check modules, calibrate ADAS sensors after windshield or alignment work, and reset life monitors correctly. Tire care is simple with on-hand inventory, road-force balancing, TPMS programming, and seasonal rotations. When fluids are due, we install the correct dexos-certified oil and GM-approved transmission, coolant, brake, and AWD fluids that meet specifications, and we document everything so future you—or the next owner—knows the job was done right. We also inspect for corrosion, batteries nearing end of life, and brake wear patterns that suggest an alignment. If you prefer to wait, relax in our lounge; if you have questions, we explain options in plain language before turning a wrench. Important note: service timelines vary by model year, options, and use. Always follow the recommendations in your Chevrolet Owner’s Manual and contact the manufacturer or our team for guidance on Severe Service schedules, warranty coverage, and any open recalls.
