Get the Repairs Your 1988 Dodge Dakota Needs

If your Dodge Dakota is in need of some TLC, we’re here to ensure you and your car are well cared for. A high level of care is what sets the best auto repair shops apart from all the others. You can trust your 1988 Dodge Dakota to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We’re experts in top-to-bottom repair services including brake, tire, alignment, drivetrain, and engine repair. We'll share a little about each service below.

When it comes to brake repairs, your safety is of utmost importance. Even if you’re a careful driver, Dodge Dakota brake problems can quickly create a dangerous situation while you’re driving. If you notice shaking when you depress your brake pedal, noise from your brakes, increased stop distance, or a brake light that’s lit up on your dashboard, don’t wait to have your brakes inspected and repaired. No matter how reliable your Dodge Dakota is, it'll need brake repair at one point or another. Brake pads and parts naturally wear out over time. Your car’s brake repair timeline can also be affected by your driving habits, as well as the climate in your area.

Much like brake problems, you don’t want to ignore issues with your tires. Safe vehicle operation is practically impossible without four well-maintained and reliable tires. Our technicians can change a flat tire on your 1988 Dodge Dakota, or depending on the severity of the damage, patch and plug your Dodge Dakota tire with a simple, effective repair process. More often than not, punctures in the tread area that are less than ¼ inch in diameter can be successfully repaired. If the type of tire damage won’t allow for a safe repair, your technician will work with you to find an affordable tire replacement. Tire damage can have a ripple effect on other parts of your car, so we might suggest an alignment or tire balancing service following a tire repair or replacement.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care is also equipped to handle many 1988 Dodge Dakota transmission, drivetrain, and engine repairs. Each of these systems is made up of hundreds of interconnected parts, each rubbing against another to create heat and energy. Over time, all those constantly moving components can get worn down. If this happens, you may hear engine knocking noises, feel a delay in transmission shifting, or even smell a burning odor from under your Dakota’s hood. When something feels off with your vehicle, head to Firestone Complete Auto Care. The repair might be a simple spark plug replacement, or a more involved fuel pump fix.

How Much Does Dodge Dakota Repair Cost?

A few different aspects can influence repair costs for your 1988 Dodge Dakota, like which repairs are needed, prices of appropriate replacement parts, how much labor the repair will take, and the state you live in. Labor costs and tax rates can be pretty different from state to state. No matter what state you’re in, be sure to look through our offers and online coupons for repairs.
