What happens if my Buick Skyhawk spark plugs fail?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What does a puddle underneath my Buick Skyhawk mean?

Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.

Are hard starts and stops bad for my Buick Skyhawk engine?

Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.

Enhance Buick Skyhawk Performance with a Tune-Up

Is it time for an engine tune-up?

When you follow the guidelines specified by Buick for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you invest in your Skyhawk's long-term health and engine performance.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Buick Skyhawk

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Buick Skyhawk engine tune-up services. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up.

Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Skyhawk. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system.

The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Skyhawk: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best.
