Honda 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.

Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Civic del Sol running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1997 Honda Civic del Sol problems later.

Bring your 1997 Honda Civic del Sol to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1997 Honda Civic del Sol? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

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 Honda Civic del Sol battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Honda Civic del Sol won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
