It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Century maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1999 Buick Century!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Buick themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Century running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1999 Buick Century problems in the future.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1999 Buick Century. 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). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Buick Century 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 Century stranded. Your Buick Century won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1999 Buick Century.
