2014 Volkswagen GTI Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Volkswagen GTI and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your GTI has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get GTI maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2014 Volkswagen GTI!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Volkswagen, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your GTI's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2014 Volkswagen GTI problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2014 Volkswagen GTI 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your GTI’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2014 Volkswagen GTI be ready for a new battery? 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Volkswagen GTI battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your GTI stranded. Your Volkswagen GTI could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2014 Volkswagen GTI running newer, longer.
