2012 Volkswagen Jetta Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Volkswagen Jetta to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Jetta. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Jetta 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 2012 Volkswagen Jetta!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Volkswagen themselves. 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, 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Jetta's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2012 Volkswagen Jetta problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Volkswagen Jetta for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Jetta’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2012 Volkswagen Jetta be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. 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 Volkswagen Jetta battery. 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 Jetta stranded. Your Volkswagen Jetta won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2012 Volkswagen Jetta running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 Jetta. 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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2012 Volkswagen Jetta.

Routine upkeep for your Volkswagen Jetta suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). 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 the appropriate Volkswagen Jetta 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. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Volkswagen Jetta's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Volkswagen Jetta 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 Volkswagen Jetta cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Volkswagen Jetta radiator? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2012 Volkswagen Jetta maintenance.
