2012 Ford Fiesta Maintenance Schedule

You want your Ford Fiesta to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Fiesta. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Fiesta, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 Ford Fiesta!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Fiesta's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2012 Ford Fiesta problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2012 Ford Fiesta and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Fiesta. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2012 Ford Fiesta. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Fiesta may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 Ford Fiesta 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 Ford Fiesta won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2012 Ford Fiesta running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 Fiesta. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2012 Ford Fiesta? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Ford Fiesta 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! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Ford Fiesta steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Ford Fiesta's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Ford Fiesta services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Ford Fiesta engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Ford Fiesta radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2012 Ford Fiesta maintenance.
