Take care of your Saab 9-5 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 9-5 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 9-5, 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 2002 Saab 9-5!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Saab themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 9-5 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2002 Saab 9-5 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2002 Saab 9-5 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 9-5's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2002 Saab 9-5 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 9-5 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 Saab 9-5 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 9-5) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Saab 9-5 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
