1985 Honda Prelude Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Honda Prelude and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Prelude. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Prelude, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1985 Honda Prelude!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Honda, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Prelude's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1985 Honda Prelude problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Honda Prelude and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Prelude. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1985 Honda Prelude. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Honda Prelude battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Prelude stranded. Your Honda Prelude won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1985 Honda Prelude engine. To learn how often Honda recommends you have the oil changed in your 1985 Prelude, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1985 Honda Prelude? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Honda Prelude suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide Honda Prelude steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Honda Prelude's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Honda Prelude services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). 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 Honda Prelude’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is your Honda Prelude radiator in need of replacement? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1985 Honda Prelude maintenance and repairs.
