Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1988 Porsche 911!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Porsche themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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 911 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1988 Porsche 911 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1988 Porsche 911 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 911’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1988 Porsche 911 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Porsche 911 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 911) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Porsche 911 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
