Saab 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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like 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 900 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1984 Saab 900 problems.

Overview of Essential Saab 900 Maintenance Needs

Bring your 1984 Saab 900 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 900's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1984 Saab 900 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 900 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Saab 900 battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 900 stranded. Your Saab 900 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1984 Saab 900 engine. See Saab's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1984 900 in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1984 Saab 900.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Saab 900 can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Saab 900 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 Saab 900's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Saab 900 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Saab 900’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Saab 900? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1984 Saab 900 maintenance.
