1988 Mitsubishi Precis Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mitsubishi Precis, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Precis has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Precis maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1988 Mitsubishi Precis!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mitsubishi themselves. 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 Precis's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Mitsubishi Precis problems in the future.

Bring your 1988 Mitsubishi Precis to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Precis's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1988 Mitsubishi Precis be ready for a new battery? 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Precis may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mitsubishi Precis 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 Mitsubishi Precis won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1988 Mitsubishi Precis running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1988 Precis. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1988 Mitsubishi Precis.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi Precis can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Mitsubishi Precis steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Mitsubishi Precis's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mitsubishi Precis services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. 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 Mitsubishi Precis’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is your Mitsubishi Precis radiator in need of replacement? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1988 Mitsubishi Precis maintenance and repairs.
