1989 Buick Skylark Maintenance Schedule

You want your Buick Skylark to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Skylark. 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 Skylark maintenance. Just follow your 1989 Buick Skylark maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Buick, your vehicle manufacturer. 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Skylark's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1989 Buick Skylark problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1989 Buick Skylark and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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 Skylark’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1989 Buick Skylark? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Buick Skylark battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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 Skylark won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

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 1989 Buick Skylark running newer, longer. See Buick's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1989 Skylark 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1989 Buick Skylark.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Buick Skylark can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Buick Skylark 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 Skylark's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Buick Skylark maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Buick Skylark’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Need a new Buick Skylark radiator? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1989 Buick Skylark maintenance and repairs.
