1983 Pontiac Bonneville Maintenance

Take care of your Pontiac Bonneville and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Bonneville. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Bonneville maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1983 Pontiac Bonneville!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Pontiac, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Bonneville running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1983 Pontiac Bonneville problems later.

Bring your 1983 Pontiac Bonneville to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Bonneville’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1983 Pontiac Bonneville be ready for a new battery? 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Bonneville may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 Pontiac Bonneville battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Bonneville stranded. Your Pontiac Bonneville won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1983 Pontiac Bonneville running newer, longer. See Pontiac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1983 Bonneville in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1983 Pontiac Bonneville? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Pontiac Bonneville steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Pontiac Bonneville 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Pontiac Bonneville's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Pontiac Bonneville 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 Pontiac Bonneville cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Pontiac Bonneville radiator? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too.
