2021 Volkswagen Passat Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Volkswagen Passat to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Passat 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 Passat maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2021 Volkswagen Passat maintenance schedule!

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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 Passat's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2021 Volkswagen Passat problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2021 Volkswagen Passat 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 Passat’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2021 Volkswagen Passat? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 Passat 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. 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 Volkswagen Passat could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2021 Volkswagen Passat running newer, longer. To learn how often Volkswagen recommends you have the oil changed in your 2021 Passat, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2021 Volkswagen Passat.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication.
