Maintenance for Your 2007 Scion tC

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 2007 Scion tC?

What to Know About 2007 Scion tC Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Scion tC and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your tC. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your tC, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2007 Scion tC!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Scion 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your tC running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2007 Scion tC problems.

Overview of Essential Scion tC Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2007 Scion tC for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your tC. 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 2007 Scion tC. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your tC 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 Scion tC 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 Scion tC could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2007 Scion tC engine. See Scion's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2007 tC in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 2007 Scion tC? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Scion tC steering and suspension system 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! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Scion tC steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Scion tC's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Scion tC 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 Scion tC cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Scion tC? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2007 Scion tC maintenance and repairs.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.

2007 Scion tC Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 2007 Scion tC. Get answers to common Scion tC maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Scion tC? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Scion tC? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your Scion tC? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Scion? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Scion tC in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
