1998 Buick Skylark Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Buick Skylark, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Skylark has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Skylark, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1998 Buick Skylark!

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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 Buick Skylark problems later.

Bring your 1998 Buick Skylark to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Skylark's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1998 Buick Skylark be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Skylark may need a replacement battery sooner.

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 Skylark) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Buick Skylark won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
