1995 Dodge Dakota Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Dodge Dakota and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Dakota could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Dakota maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1995 Dodge Dakota!

Dodge 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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Dakota running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1995 Dodge Dakota problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1995 Dodge Dakota 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Dakota’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1995 Dodge Dakota. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Dakota may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 Dakota 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 Dakota stranded. Your Dodge Dakota could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
