When it comes to your Mercury Grand Marquis, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Grand Marquis could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Grand Marquis, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercury 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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Grand Marquis perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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 Grand Marquis’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis be ready for a new battery? 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 Mercury Grand Marquis battery. 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 Grand Marquis stranded. Your Mercury Grand Marquis could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
