Tune Into Your Plymouth Reliant

Is it tune-up time? If you usually wait until your car has an issue to take it in for service, it might be time to change your ways, especially if you want your 1989 Plymouth Reliant’s engine to last for a long time. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Reliant. Tune-ups help your engine start smoothly and run efficiently, so you can enjoy improved fuel economy and lower emissions. 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.

Plymouth Reliant Engine Tune-Up Services

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1989 Plymouth Reliant. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. This includes the installation of new spark plugs and a visual inspection of your engine’s components, plus 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 can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your Reliant's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. A one-size-fits-all engine tune-up procedure doesn’t necessarily exist. 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 1989 Reliant engine tune-up services, head to Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A For 1989 Plymouth Reliants

  • What happens if my Plymouth Reliant spark plugs fail? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Plymouth’s recommendations.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Plymouth Reliant? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • Are some driving habits better for my Plymouth Reliant engine than others? Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.
  • Where can I have a Plymouth Reliant tune-up done? At your closest Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our experienced technicians offer Plymouth Reliant service, maintenance, and repairs.
  • How often should I clean my Plymouth Reliant fuel injectors? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Plymouth owner’s manual for exact guidelines.
