You want your Buick Regal to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Regal has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

Bring your 2012 Buick Regal to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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.
