1999 Dodge Caravan Maintenance

Take care of your Dodge Caravan and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Caravan has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Caravan, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1999 Dodge Caravan maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Caravan perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1999 Dodge Caravan problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1999 Dodge Caravan for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Caravan'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 1999 Dodge Caravan. 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 Dodge Caravan 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 Caravan stranded. Your Dodge Caravan won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication.
