2016 Fiat 500 Maintenance

You want your Fiat 500 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 500. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2016 Fiat 500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Fiat, your vehicle manufacturer. 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, and brake pad replacement. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 500's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2016 Fiat 500 problems in the future.

Bring your 2016 Fiat 500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2016 Fiat 500? 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. 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 500 stranded. Your Fiat 500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Fiat 500 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! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Fiat 500's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Fiat 500 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Fiat 500 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Fiat 500 radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2016 Fiat 500 maintenance.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.
