1985 Buick Somerset Regal Maintenance

When it comes to your Buick Somerset Regal, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Somerset Regal could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Somerset Regal maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1985 Buick Somerset Regal maintenance schedule!

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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Somerset Regal running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1985 Buick Somerset Regal problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1985 Buick Somerset Regal for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 Somerset Regal. 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 1985 Buick Somerset Regal? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Buick Somerset Regal battery. 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 Somerset Regal could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1985 Buick Somerset Regal's engine run smoother.
