Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 LTD Crown Victoria’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty LTD Crown Victoria) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford LTD Crown Victoria won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Ford LTD Crown Victoria? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Ford LTD Crown Victoria to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Ford LTD Crown Victoria engines.
  •  Why are my Ford dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Ford LTD Crown Victoria in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
