2018 Cadillac ATS Maintenance Schedule

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. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. 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 2018 Cadillac ATS!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Cadillac themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your ATS running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2018 Cadillac ATS problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2018 Cadillac ATS 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your ATS’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2018 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. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2018 Cadillac ATS's engine run smoother. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2018 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. 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 2018 Cadillac ATS.

Routine upkeep for your Cadillac ATS suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. 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. 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 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. Is your Cadillac ATS radiator in need of replacement? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2018 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.
