2012 Audi Q5 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Audi Q5, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Q5 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Q5 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2012 Audi Q5!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Audi, 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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Q5's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 Audi Q5 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Audi Q5 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Q5'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 2012 Audi Q5? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Q5 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Audi Q5 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Q5 stranded. Your Audi Q5 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
