1988 Cadillac Eldorado Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Cadillac Eldorado, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Eldorado. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Eldorado maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1988 Cadillac Eldorado!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Cadillac themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Eldorado perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Cadillac Eldorado problems in the future.

Bring your 1988 Cadillac Eldorado to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check.

During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Eldorado’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1988 Cadillac Eldorado? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.
