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

Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1987 Buick Skyhawk!

Buick knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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 Skyhawk perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1987 Buick Skyhawk problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1987 Buick Skyhawk and our technicians will jump right in with 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Skyhawk’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1987 Buick Skyhawk. 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). 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 Skyhawk battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Skyhawk) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Buick Skyhawk won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
