1988 Cadillac Seville Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Cadillac Seville, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Seville. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Seville, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1988 Cadillac Seville maintenance schedule!

Cadillac 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Seville's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Cadillac Seville problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1988 Cadillac Seville for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 Seville's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1988 Cadillac Seville? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Cadillac Seville 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 Cadillac Seville could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1988 Cadillac Seville engine. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1988 Seville 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. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1988 Cadillac Seville? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Cadillac Seville can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Cadillac Seville steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Cadillac Seville's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Cadillac Seville maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. 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 Cadillac Seville engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Cadillac Seville? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1988 Cadillac Seville maintenance.
