2011 Scion xD Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Scion xD and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your xD could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get xD maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2011 Scion xD!

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. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your xD's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2011 Scion xD problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 Scion xD for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your xD's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2011 Scion xD be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your xD 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 xD battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 xD 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 2011 Scion xD engine. See Scion's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2011 xD 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2011 Scion xD? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Scion xD 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. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Scion xD steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Scion xD's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Scion xD maintenance, 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 Scion xD engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Scion xD radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2011 Scion xD maintenance.
