This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Plymouth themselves.

Overview of Essential Plymouth Reliant Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1989 Plymouth Reliant for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1989 Plymouth Reliant. 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Plymouth Reliant battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Reliant) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Plymouth Reliant won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1989 Plymouth Reliant running newer, longer. To learn how often Plymouth recommends you have the oil changed in your 1989 Reliant, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1989 Plymouth Reliant.

Routine upkeep for your Plymouth Reliant suspension and steering system 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 the appropriate Plymouth Reliant steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Plymouth Reliant's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Plymouth Reliant maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Plymouth Reliant cooling, heating, and climate control system.

  • When should I have Plymouth Reliant alignment checked? You know your Plymouth Reliant better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.

It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Plymouth Reliant engines.
  • Can Plymouth dashboard warning lights wait? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Plymouth Reliant to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
