1988 Dodge Daytona Maintenance Schedule

You want your Dodge Daytona to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Daytona. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Daytona maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1988 Dodge Daytona maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Daytona's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Dodge Daytona problems in the future.

Bring your 1988 Dodge Daytona to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Daytona'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 1988 Dodge Daytona. 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 Daytona 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Daytona) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Daytona won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1988 Dodge Daytona's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1988 Daytona. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1988 Dodge Daytona? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge Daytona can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Dodge Daytona steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Dodge Daytona's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Dodge Daytona maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Dodge Daytona’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Need a new Dodge Daytona radiator? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1988 Dodge Daytona maintenance.
