1984 Chevrolet Caprice Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Chevrolet Caprice, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Caprice has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Caprice maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1984 Chevrolet Caprice!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like 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 Caprice's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1984 Chevrolet Caprice problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1984 Chevrolet Caprice 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Caprice’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1984 Chevrolet Caprice. 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Caprice may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Caprice 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Caprice) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Caprice won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1984 Chevrolet Caprice engine. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1984 Caprice in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 1984 Chevrolet Caprice.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Caprice can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Chevrolet Caprice 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. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet Caprice's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Chevrolet Caprice services, 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. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Chevrolet Caprice cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Chevrolet Caprice radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1984 Chevrolet Caprice maintenance.
