1987 Chevrolet R20 Suburban Maintenance

You want your Chevrolet R20 Suburban to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your R20 Suburban. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your R20 Suburban, 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 R20 Suburban!

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. 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your R20 Suburban perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1987 Chevrolet R20 Suburban problems in the future.

Bring your 1987 Chevrolet R20 Suburban to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 R20 Suburban's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1987 Chevrolet R20 Suburban be ready for a new battery? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet R20 Suburban battery. 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 R20 Suburban) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet R20 Suburban could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
