1987 Chevrolet Nova Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Chevrolet Nova, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Nova could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Nova, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1987 Chevrolet Nova!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. 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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Nova running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1987 Chevrolet Nova problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1987 Chevrolet Nova and our technicians will jump right in 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Nova. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1987 Chevrolet Nova? 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 Nova may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet Nova battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Nova) stuck in the middle of nowhere. 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 1987 Chevrolet Nova's engine run smoother. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1987 Nova 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. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1987 Chevrolet Nova? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Chevrolet Nova suspension and steering 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, perform Chevrolet Nova suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet Nova's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Chevrolet Nova services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Chevrolet Nova’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is your Chevrolet Nova radiator in need of replacement? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1987 Chevrolet Nova maintenance.
