1983 Plymouth Reliant Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Plymouth Reliant and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Reliant.

Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1983 Plymouth Reliant!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Plymouth, your vehicle manufacturer. 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Reliant perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1983 Plymouth Reliant problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1983 Plymouth Reliant and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Reliant's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1983 Plymouth Reliant? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Reliant stranded. Your Plymouth Reliant could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
