1989 Toyota Cressida Maintenance

Take care of your Toyota Cressida and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Cressida 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. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Cressida maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1989 Toyota Cressida!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Toyota themselves. 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 Cressida's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1989 Toyota Cressida problems in the future.

Bring your 1989 Toyota Cressida to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Cressida's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1989 Toyota Cressida be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 Toyota Cressida battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 Toyota Cressida won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1989 Toyota Cressida's engine run smoother. To learn how often Toyota recommends you have the oil changed in your 1989 Cressida, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1989 Toyota Cressida? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Toyota Cressida can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Toyota Cressida steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Toyota Cressida's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Toyota Cressida 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. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Toyota Cressida engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
