When it comes to your Ford Bronco II, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance.

There's no need to guess when it's time to get Bronco II maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong.

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer.

Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Bronco II's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1986 Ford Bronco II problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1986 Ford Bronco II and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Bronco II’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1986 Ford Bronco II. In general, car batteries only last three to five years.
