2018 Fiat 124 Spider Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Fiat 124 Spider and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 124 Spider 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 124 Spider maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2018 Fiat 124 Spider!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Fiat themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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 124 Spider's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2018 Fiat 124 Spider problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2018 Fiat 124 Spider for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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 124 Spider's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2018 Fiat 124 Spider be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. 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 Fiat 124 Spider 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. 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 Fiat 124 Spider 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 2018 Fiat 124 Spider running newer, longer. To learn how often Fiat recommends you have the oil changed in your 2018 124 Spider, check out the information table at the beginning 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2018 Fiat 124 Spider? We can help with that, too!

Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Fiat 124 Spider 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. Components within your Fiat 124 Spider's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Fiat 124 Spider 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!).
