Tune Into Your Plymouth Reliant

Is it tune-up time? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, it might be time to change your ways, especially if you want your 1987 Plymouth Reliant’s engine to last for a long time. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Reliant. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, which can mean better fuel economy (a win for you) and lower emissions (a win for the environment). When you follow the guidelines specified by Plymouth for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Reliant’s engine running smoother, longer.

Engine Tune-Up for Plymouth Reliant

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Plymouth Reliant engine tune-up services. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Reliant. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system. During this type of tune-up, we use a three-step process to get rid of harmful varnish, dirt, and carbon deposit buildup in your Reliant’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Reliant can determine what kind of service it needs. This means that a tune-up service that’s a great fit for another car may not be optimal for yours. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

Where to Get a Tune-Up for Your Plymouth Reliant

If you’re looking for 1987 Reliant engine tune-up services, head to Firestone Complete Auto Care. Consult your vehicle’s recommended service schedule from Plymouth, or make a service appointment if you notice any of these symptoms from your engine: shaking while the engine is idling, poor fuel economy, knocking noises in the engine, or a lit up check engine light on your dashboard.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

1987 Plymouth Reliant Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • What happens if my Plymouth Reliant spark plugs fail? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Reliant? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Plymouth Reliant. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • Are hard starts and stops bad for my Plymouth Reliant engine? You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.
  • I need a Plymouth Reliant tune-up. Where can I get on? At your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care! Whether you need Plymouth Reliant service, maintenance, or repairs, our technicians can get the job done.
  • How often should I clean my Plymouth Reliant fuel injectors? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions.
