What to Know About 1985 Chevrolet Nova Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Nova and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Nova. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Nova maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1985 Chevrolet Nova!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet 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 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 Nova's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1985 Chevrolet Nova problems in the future.

Overview of Essential Chevrolet Nova Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Chevrolet Nova and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Nova's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1985 Chevrolet Nova. In general, car batteries only last three to 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Chevrolet Nova battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Nova stranded. Your Chevrolet Nova won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1985 Chevrolet Nova's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1985 Nova. 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1985 Chevrolet Nova.

Maintaining your Chevrolet Nova steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Chevrolet Nova 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 Chevrolet Nova's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Chevrolet Nova maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.
