1993 Buick Riviera Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Buick Riviera and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Riviera. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Riviera maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1993 Buick Riviera!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Buick, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Riviera's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1993 Buick Riviera problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1993 Buick Riviera for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 Riviera'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 1993 Buick Riviera? In general, car batteries only last three to 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Buick Riviera battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Riviera stranded. Your Buick Riviera won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1993 Buick Riviera running newer, longer.
