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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Riviera's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1989 Buick Riviera problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1989 Buick Riviera and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Riviera. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1989 Buick Riviera? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Riviera may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Buick Riviera 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 Riviera stranded. Your Buick Riviera won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1989 Buick Riviera's engine run smoother. To learn how often Buick recommends you have the oil changed in your 1989 Riviera, 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. 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 1989 Buick Riviera.
