Here’s Why 2017 Fiat 124 Spider Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Fiat 124 Spider to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 124 Spider could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

Just follow your 2017 Fiat 124 Spider maintenance schedule!

Fiat 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. 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, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 124 Spider's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2017 Fiat 124 Spider problems later.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Fiat 124 Spider Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2017 Fiat 124 Spider 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 124 Spider’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2017 Fiat 124 Spider. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 124 Spider may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Fiat 124 Spider battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 124 Spider stranded. Your Fiat 124 Spider won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2017 Fiat 124 Spider engine.
