1989 Buick Skyhawk Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Buick Skyhawk to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Skyhawk could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Skyhawk maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1989 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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Skyhawk perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1989 Buick Skyhawk problems.

Bring your 1989 Buick Skyhawk to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Skyhawk. 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 Skyhawk? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Skyhawk may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Buick Skyhawk battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Buick Skyhawk won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1989 Buick Skyhawk's engine run smoother. See Buick's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1989 Skyhawk in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1989 Buick Skyhawk.

Maintaining your Buick Skyhawk steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Buick Skyhawk suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Buick Skyhawk's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Buick Skyhawk services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Buick Skyhawk engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Buick Skyhawk radiator in need of replacement? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1989 Buick Skyhawk maintenance.
