2017 Audi S3 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Audi S3, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your S3 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your S3, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2017 Audi S3 maintenance schedule!

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, 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your S3 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2017 Audi S3 problems in the future.

Bring your 2017 Audi S3 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 S3's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2017 Audi S3 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Audi S3 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 Audi S3 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2017 Audi S3 running newer, longer. See Audi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2017 S3 in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2017 Audi S3? We can help with that, too!

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Audi S3's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Audi S3 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Audi S3’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is your Audi S3 radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it.
