1986 Buick Regal Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Buick Regal and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Regal could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Regal maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1986 Buick Regal!

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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Regal perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1986 Buick Regal problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1986 Buick Regal and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 Regal's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1986 Buick Regal? 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 Regal may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Buick Regal battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Buick Regal could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
