2013 Volkswagen Routan Maintenance

When it comes to your Volkswagen Routan, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Routan has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 Routan maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2013 Volkswagen Routan!

Volkswagen 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Routan running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2013 Volkswagen Routan problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2013 Volkswagen Routan for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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 Routan’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2013 Volkswagen Routan. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Routan may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Volkswagen Routan battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Routan stranded. Your Volkswagen Routan won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2013 Volkswagen Routan engine. See Volkswagen's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2013 Routan in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 2013 Volkswagen Routan.

Routine upkeep for your Volkswagen Routan suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Volkswagen Routan 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Volkswagen Routan's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Volkswagen Routan maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. 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 Volkswagen Routan engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
