1985 Chevrolet Astro Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Astro and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Astro has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Astro maintenance. Just follow your 1985 Chevrolet Astro maintenance schedule!

Chevrolet 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. 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; 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 Astro running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1985 Chevrolet Astro problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Chevrolet Astro 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 Astro's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1985 Chevrolet Astro 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 Astro may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Astro 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Astro stranded. Your Chevrolet Astro won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1985 Chevrolet Astro engine. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1985 Astro in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 1985 Chevrolet Astro.

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.
