At Dan Vaden Chevrolet Brunswick, we know your Chevrolet Silverado works hard—whether it’s towing a boat along the Georgia coast, hauling heavy loads around Brunswick, or taking weekend trips to Jesup or St. Marys. Regular maintenance is key to keeping your Silverado performing at its best. Below is a helpful maintenance checklist that outlines when to service your truck and what each interval typically includes.

Every 7,500 Miles: Basic Service

Your first stop in the Silverado maintenance schedule should come around every 7,500 miles (or roughly every six months). These services help maintain your truck’s performance and catch early signs of wear:

• Engine oil and filter change
• Tire rotation and pressure check
• Brake inspection
• Fluid level check (coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer, and transmission)
• Visual inspection of hoses, belts, and suspension components

If you frequently drive in Brunswick’s humid climate or tow heavy loads, you may need oil changes and tire rotations more often.

Every 15,000 Miles: System Inspection

At around 15,000 miles, your Silverado will need a more in-depth inspection. This service ensures the mechanical systems continue to operate safely and efficiently.

• Cabin air filter replacement
• Brake pad wear and rotor condition check
• Exhaust system inspection
• Steering and suspension system inspection
• Check for fluid leaks and corrosion

These checks help keep your Silverado running smoothly, especially if you commute through areas like Jesup or St. Marys where salt air and moisture can accelerate corrosion.

Every 30,000 Miles: Comprehensive Service

By the 30,000-mile mark, it’s time for a more detailed maintenance visit. This service ensures your truck remains durable and reliable for the long haul.

• Engine air filter replacement
• Transmission fluid check (and change if needed)
• Fuel system cleaning
• Coolant system inspection
• Tire tread depth and alignment check

This interval is also a great time to address any drivability concerns such as rough idling, reduced fuel efficiency, or brake noise.

Every 60,000 Miles: Major System Maintenance

At 60,000 miles, your Chevrolet Silverado should receive major preventive maintenance to extend the life of critical components.

• Transmission fluid and filter replacement
• Drive belt inspection and replacement if worn
• Differential fluid change
• Thorough brake system service
• Spark plug replacement (for certain engines)

If you often use your Silverado for towing, off-road driving, or commercial purposes, this milestone is especially important. Brunswick’s varying temperatures and coastal humidity make this service essential for protecting performance and longevity.

Every 100,000 Miles: Long-Term Reliability Service

Once your Silverado reaches 100,000 miles, it’s time to focus on long-term reliability. At this point, a comprehensive check ensures your truck continues to deliver the power and dependability you expect from Chevrolet.

• Replace spark plugs and ignition wires (if applicable)
• Inspect and possibly replace the timing belt or chain
• Perform a complete cooling system service
• Inspect fuel lines and fuel pump
• Full multi-point inspection and test drive

This milestone service helps ensure that your Silverado is ready for many more years of dependable performance across Georgia’s highways and job sites.
