2012 Scion xB Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Scion xB and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your xB has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine xB maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2012 Scion xB!

Scion 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your xB running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 Scion xB problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2012 Scion xB and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 xB’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2012 Scion xB? 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Scion xB battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty xB) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Scion xB won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2012 Scion xB's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 xB. 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2012 Scion xB.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Scion xB can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Scion xB steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Scion xB's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Scion xB 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 xB cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Scion xB? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2012 Scion xB maintenance.
