2026 Chevrolet Colorado Maintenance Schedule

2026 Chevrolet Colorado Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to midsize pickups, the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado hits the sweet spot, with a maneuverable size and big-truck capability. Its turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine delivers robust low-rpm torque for towing and passing, while an eight-speed automatic transmission provides smooth, responsive shifts to maintain consistent performance. According to the Prescott Valley Chevrolet dealer, the Colorado can tow up to 7,700 pounds. Inside, an 11.3-inch center display and an 11-inch digital cluster streamline information, and the cabin’s storage solutions make everyday use simple. Advanced driver-assistance features and a composed chassis round out a truck that feels confident in the city, on the highway, or off the beaten path.

A modern pickup like the Colorado needs more than occasional oil changes to operate efficiently. At Flagstaff Chevrolet, the Prescott Valley Chevrolet dealership, we adhere to Chevrolet’s factory maintenance schedule to ensure the long-term protection of the truck’s performance, efficiency, and safety systems. Bringing your 2026 Chevy Colorado in according to the manufacturer’s suggested intervals helps us catch minor issues early and keep the engine, braking, and driver-assist technology functioning properly.

Here’s what to expect during the key scheduled maintenance visits.

Every 7,500 Miles

During the first visit, our certified service technicians will replace the engine oil and filter with GM-approved products to safeguard internal components, rotate all four tires to even out wear patterns, and perform a thorough brake inspection for pad thickness, rotor condition, and hydraulic leaks. We’ll also inspect fluid levels, check tire pressure, and road test for any vibrations or unusual noises. These core tasks are repeated during subsequent routine service visits.

Every 22,500 Miles

At 22,500 miles, our technicians will install a new cabin air filter to maintain clean airflow and ensure strong HVAC performance. We’ll also inspect the engine air filter and replace it as needed—typically between 20,000 and 40,000 miles, depending on the climate and your driving style. Keeping intake flow unrestricted supports fuel economy and consistent turbo response.

Every 45,000 Miles

Brake fluid gradually absorbs moisture; by 45,000 miles, we’ll replace it to maintain firm pedal response and consistent braking performance. During this visit, we’ll also perform an evaporative emissions system check to ensure fuel-vapor management remains effective, allowing your Colorado to run efficiently and stay compliant.

Every 97,500 Miles

Fresh spark plugs at 97,500 miles help keep the ignition clean and the combustion stable, supporting cold starts, smooth idling, and strong midrange power. If your truck is four-wheel drive, we also service the transfer case with new fluid to protect gears, bearings, and clutches under towing or off-road loads.

150,000 Miles

High mileage calls for cooling system service. We flush out old coolant and refill it to renew corrosion inhibitors and temperature control. Then, we inspect hoses, clamps, and drive belts for cracking, glazing, or swelling. Replacing worn components now helps prevent overheating or accessory failures down the road.

Staying on your Colorado’s maintenance schedule keeps it feeling tight, responsive, and ready for work or weekends. We use OEM parts, GM-approved fluids, and factory procedures so every visit supports long-term reliability, towing confidence, and resale value.
