1988 Alfa Romeo Spider Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Alfa Romeo Spider and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Spider. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Spider maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Alfa Romeo themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Spider running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Spider's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Spider may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Alfa Romeo Spider battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Spider stranded. Your Alfa Romeo Spider won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider engine. To learn how often Alfa Romeo recommends you have the oil changed in your 1988 Spider, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider.

Routine upkeep for your Alfa Romeo Spider suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Alfa Romeo Spider's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Alfa Romeo Spider services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
