With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your A8 Quattro. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1997 Audi A8 Quattro and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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 A8 Quattro's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1997 Audi A8 Quattro? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

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 Audi A8 Quattro could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
