2014 Cadillac ATS 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. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. 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 2014 Cadillac ATS!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Cadillac themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. 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 2014 Cadillac ATS problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2014 Cadillac ATS 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. 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.

Could your 2014 Cadillac ATS be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your ATS may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Cadillac ATS 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty ATS) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Cadillac ATS won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2014 Cadillac ATS running newer, longer. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2014 ATS 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. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2014 Cadillac ATS? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Cadillac ATS steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components 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. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Cadillac ATS's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Cadillac ATS 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!). 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. Is your Cadillac ATS radiator in need of replacement? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2014 Cadillac ATS maintenance.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.
