The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Toyota, your vehicle manufacturer.

Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Pickup running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1986 Toyota Pickup problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1986 Toyota Pickup for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check.

Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Pickup's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1986 Toyota Pickup. In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Pickup) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Toyota Pickup could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
