2018 Tesla S Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Tesla S, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your S could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get S maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2018 Tesla S maintenance schedule!

Tesla 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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your S's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2018 Tesla S problems.

Bring your 2018 Tesla S to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your S. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2018 Tesla S? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your S may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Tesla S 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 Tesla S won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Maintaining your Tesla S steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). 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 Tesla S 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 Tesla S's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Tesla S 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. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Tesla S cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Tesla S radiator? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2018 Tesla S maintenance and repairs.
