1989 Plymouth Acclaim Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Plymouth Acclaim and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Acclaim. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Acclaim, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1989 Plymouth Acclaim!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Plymouth themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Acclaim perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1989 Plymouth Acclaim problems.

Bring your 1989 Plymouth Acclaim to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Acclaim's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1989 Plymouth Acclaim be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 Plymouth Acclaim battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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 Plymouth Acclaim 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 help your 1989 Plymouth Acclaim's engine run smoother. See Plymouth's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1989 Acclaim in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1989 Plymouth Acclaim.

Routine upkeep for your Plymouth Acclaim suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Plymouth Acclaim suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Plymouth Acclaim's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Plymouth Acclaim 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!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Plymouth Acclaim cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Plymouth Acclaim radiator? We’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1989 Plymouth Acclaim maintenance and repairs.
