When it comes to your Pontiac J2000 Sunbird, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your J2000 Sunbird could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your J2000 Sunbird, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1985 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird!

Pontiac knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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 J2000 Sunbird running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1985 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your J2000 Sunbird'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 1985 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your J2000 Sunbird may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Pontiac J2000 Sunbird battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Pontiac J2000 Sunbird won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
