1986 Saab 900 Maintenance

You want your Saab 900 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 900 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get 900 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1986 Saab 900 maintenance schedule!

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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 900's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1986 Saab 900 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1986 Saab 900 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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 1986 Saab 900 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Saab 900 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 900) stuck in the middle of nowhere. 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 help your 1986 Saab 900's engine run smoother. See Saab's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1986 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. 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 1986 Saab 900? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Saab 900 suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Saab 900 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Saab 900's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Saab 900 maintenance, 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. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Saab 900 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Saab 900? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1986 Saab 900 maintenance and repairs.
