2001 Mercury Grand Marquis Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercury Grand Marquis, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Grand Marquis could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Grand Marquis maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercury, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 Grand Marquis's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis problems later.

Bring your 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Grand Marquis. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Grand Marquis) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercury Grand Marquis could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
