2013 Fiat 500 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Fiat 500, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 500. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get 500 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2013 Fiat 500 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. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 500 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2013 Fiat 500 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2013 Fiat 500 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2013 Fiat 500? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Fiat 500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2013 Fiat 500 engine. See Fiat's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2013 500 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. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2013 Fiat 500.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Fiat 500 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, perform Fiat 500 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Fiat 500's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Fiat 500 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 Fiat 500’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Fiat 500? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2013 Fiat 500 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.
