Chevrolet car maintenance. We save on Chevrolet Cruze maintenance

Maintenance in compliance with the work schedule established by the car manufacturer is the key to long-term trouble-free service of your car. Many of us completely entrust this work to a car service center. But a trip to a service station always costs both time and money. Meanwhile, many car maintenance operations are technically simple and do not require much physical strength. To perform most routine maintenance work, you do not need to be a qualified auto mechanic. You'll be amazed at how much time you'll save by doing these jobs yourself. But you will be even more amazed by the fact that the cost of some simple service operations can significantly exceed the cost of the parts being replaced.

Thus, for the Chevrolet Cruze, the manufacturer has adopted a maintenance frequency that is a multiple of 15 thousand kilometers. At the same time, the cost of the set of works prescribed by the regulations to replace consumables and check systems, components and assemblies of the car, depending on the configuration of the car and its mileage, can reach 8000 - 10 000 rubles

Also, many service stations often strongly “recommend” work that is not provided for by regulations or is provided for for other vehicle mileage. Therefore, regardless of whether you plan to carry out maintenance yourself or go to a service station, we recommend analyzing the cost of work and consumables, carefully studying the maintenance regulations and familiarizing yourself with the procedure for carrying out all operations included in it. This will help you protect yourself from unnecessary expenses.

The warranty on the car is maintained, we put a mark in the service book

Consumables may be changed more often if your vehicle is used in harsh conditions.

When carrying out scheduled maintenance of a Chevrolet, unscheduled work may occur (removing and installing crankcase protection and other additional equipment). Additional work is carried out at the expense of the client, after approval.

In order to consult with a specialist about the timing and cost of Chevrolet maintenance, call the YAUZA MOTORS car service center nearest to you:

  • Volgogradsky Prospekt (metro Volgogradsky Prospekt, Tekstilshchiki, Dubrovka)
  • Medvedkovo (m. Bibirevo, Altufyevo, Medvedkovo)
  • Perovo (metro Shosse Entuziastov, Perovo)
  • Mitino
  • Butovo

Vehicle inspection is an important stage in the “chain” called “Operating resource”. The more the owner adheres to the recommendations, the less often breakdowns occur.

Rights and responsibilities for maintenance are distributed in the ratio: 75/25, where the lion's share is assigned to the service station masters, and the remainder to the owner. Each party performs its own functional responsibilities, on the quality of which the “life of the car” depends.

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

The manufacturer, by default, specifies the exact replacement interval for this or that equipment. All data is presented in the operating instructions and diagnostic card. If a book is lost, the information can be restored at an official service center or downloaded from the Internet.

List of works for the owner

Regardless of the modification of Chevrolet Cruze 1.6 (109 hp) or Chevrolet Cruze 1.8 (124 hp), you should do the following:

  • visual reading of instrument readings during each engine start;
  • checking the fluid level: engine oil, cooling system, washer reservoir, brake master cylinder;
  • monitoring the fuel level in the tank, timely replenishing it to the required volume;
  • checking the functionality of lighting devices, turns, reversing lights, and license plate lighting.

The above list is not exhaustive; the owner has the right to carry out additional maintenance if it does not harm the machine and does not violate the warranty.

Maintenance price for Chevrolet Cruze

The cost of a technical inspection depends on the location of the inspection and the number of defects found. The type of pre-installed gearbox also influences the overall cost estimate. Obviously, in the case of an automatic, the cost of repairs is slightly higher than the mechanics.

Price Chevrolet Cruze 1.6 (1.8)

In items marked “*”, the amounts should be calculated as follows:

  • cost of work for automatic transmission: 2800 rubles;
  • cost of spare parts for automatic transmission: 4960 rubles;
  • final estimate for automatic transmission: RUB 7,760.

The maintenance interval is 15,000 km or one year, whichever comes first. The service period is subject to adjustment provided that the owner uses special types of motor oils, cooling system fluids, and brake systems.

If the car is operated in particularly difficult conditions, the maintenance interval is reduced to 7,500 km.

How to carry out maintenance on a Chevrolet Cruze

Maintenance of a Chevrolet Cruze car should be divided into two stages: at the stage of warranty service and after the expiration of the period. In the first case, it is important to strictly follow the regulations. If unauthorized intervention in the operation or changes in the readings of the electronic engine control unit are detected, there is a high probability of cancellation of the current warranty. And this is already bad, since the official dealer stops servicing the car.

In the second case, when the maintenance period has expired, it is not prohibited to carry out the work yourself if you have experience in servicing the Chevrolet Cruze.

So, the 1000 km interval has arrived - the first inspection.

Basic maintenance work for Chevrolet Cruze

  • TO 1: the inspection is more formal than practical, since in such a short time nothing critical could happen to the car. Of course, we do not take into account exceptions in the form of obvious fault of the driver. The wizard connects a portable scanner and reads system errors. The amount of oil and antifreeze is checked, and the condition of the air filter is assessed. The main components and assemblies are retightened;
  • Maintenance 2: replacing the engine oil, cleaning element, reading system errors of the electronic engine control unit, removing or eliminating them. Checking fluid levels, condition of filters, lighting fixtures, fuel equipment, brake system, timing belt and drive mechanisms;
  • Maintenance 3: replacing engine oil, spark plugs, all filters. All remaining units are subject to performance testing;
  • TO 4: changing the oil, filter, reading ECU system errors, checking the condition of the spark plugs;
  • Maintenance 5: the most extensive maintenance, since at this interval the following must be replaced: engine oil, transmission oil, DOT brake system, antifreeze.

Subsequent examinations repeat the algorithm of the second and third. When the mileage reaches 120,000 km, TO 8 completely duplicates TO 5. Thanks to the presence of special boxes for painting work in the service station, in the event of deformation, the craftsmen will perform body repairs.


Regardless of the replacement interval or maintenance order, when purchasing parts, always give preference to high-quality and original spare parts recommended by the manufacturer. Get serviced in specialized centers where they provide a warranty. Is repair at an official service expensive? Obviously not, if quality is guaranteed there. It’s a pity that not every owner understands this, giving preference to “handicraftsmen.”

The main goal of Opel maintenance is to maximize the service life of the components and assemblies of the car. Car maintenance allows you to be confident in the safety of travel, as well as know the condition of the vehicle and its current problems.

GM-TIME is a post-warranty technical center. We work with brands , and , providing quality service and conducting scheduled/unscheduled maintenance. To find out the exact cost of maintenance, leave your contact information on the website or call the numbers provided.

Types of services:


Experts at the GM-TIME auto center recommend undergoing maintenance at least once every 12 months or every 10 thousand kilometers traveled. This way the driver can be confident in the performance of each component and will not miss even the slightest malfunction.

When is it necessary to perform maintenance on a Chevrolet:

All cars that are used for city travel require special attention. After 25 thousand kilometers traveled, it is definitely worth checking the electronic systems and checking the condition of the brake discs and pads.

Once every two years, we recommend changing spark plugs, testing the car on a stand, and also antibacterial treatment of the air conditioner. Every 100 thousand kilometers traveled, it is worth paying attention to the gearbox and conducting computer diagnostics of the engine. In the case of maintenance on a Chevrolet Captiva, it is also worth checking the chassis.


If necessary, in our technical center you can check all the components of the SUV, replace failed silent blocks, change technical fluids and the timing belt. If desired, you can also read engine error codes and look at all pipelines, hoses, calipers, cylinders and drums for microcracks or leaks.
