Take care of your Chevrolet R20 Suburban and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your R20 Suburban.

It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1988 Chevrolet R20 Suburban!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. 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 1988 Chevrolet R20 Suburban problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1988 Chevrolet R20 Suburban 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your R20 Suburban’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1988 Chevrolet R20 Suburban? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 R20 Suburban 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 R20 Suburban) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet R20 Suburban won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
