2016 Cadillac ATS Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Cadillac ATS and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, 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 2016 Cadillac ATS!

Cadillac knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your ATS's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2016 Cadillac ATS problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2016 Cadillac ATS 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 ATS's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2016 Cadillac ATS be ready for a new battery? 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). 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the 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 be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2016 Cadillac ATS's engine run smoother. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2016 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2016 Cadillac ATS.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Cadillac ATS can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Cadillac ATS steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Cadillac ATS's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Cadillac ATS services, 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 Cadillac ATS’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Need a new Cadillac ATS radiator? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2016 Cadillac ATS maintenance.
