2013 Cadillac ATS Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Cadillac ATS and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your ATS 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 ATS maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2013 Cadillac ATS!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Cadillac, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 ATS's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2013 Cadillac ATS problems.

Bring your 2013 Cadillac ATS to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 ATS'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 2013 Cadillac ATS? 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Cadillac ATS battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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 Cadillac ATS won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2013 Cadillac ATS's engine run smoother. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2013 ATS in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2013 Cadillac ATS? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Cadillac ATS can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Cadillac ATS 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Cadillac ATS's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Cadillac ATS 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 Cadillac ATS cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Cadillac ATS radiator? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2013 Cadillac ATS maintenance and repairs.
