Common problems and easy repairs on a 1995 Riviera

The 1995 Buick Riviera is a difficult car to maintain. Multiple parts of the air filter housing will need to be disconnected to access the filter itself, which is tightly wedged into the corner of the engine bay. The headlights will require multiple panel and parts’ removals before they can be reached, which can be problematic when changing numerous bulbs. Similarly, many fasteners and pieces of trunk lining will need to be removed to access the tail lights, which doesn’t allow for reliable bulb changes, either.

However, the 1995 Buick Riviera does have its upsides. The brake fluid reservoir is quick to find with easy access to its cap, allowing you to reliably monitor its fluid level. The transmission fluid dipstick is similarly easy to find, so monitoring that shouldn’t be a problem. The spare tire and jack kit are conveniently packaged together, cutting down on hassle when fixing a flat.
