2017 Alfa Romeo 4C Maintenance

You want your Alfa Romeo 4C to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 4C has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 4C maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Alfa Romeo, your vehicle manufacturer. 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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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 4C's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C problems later.

Bring your 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 4C’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C 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. 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 Alfa Romeo 4C battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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 Alfa Romeo 4C won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C's engine run smoother. See Alfa Romeo's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2017 4C 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Alfa Romeo 4C steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Alfa Romeo 4C 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. Components within your Alfa Romeo 4C's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Alfa Romeo 4C 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. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Alfa Romeo 4C cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Alfa Romeo 4C radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C maintenance.
