Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a free battery test at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What do you do with my old Riviera battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my Buick Riviera’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? Buick Riviera batteries can be affordable, especially when there's an available battery coupon. The best part is every DieHard battery comes with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.
  •  How long do car batteries last? Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories,  how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Riviera’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Riviera’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your Riviera, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.
  •  How do I clean corrosion off my Riviera vehicle battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Riviera’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables. Once the cables have been disconnected, gently clean the terminals with a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag.
