When to Service My Volkswagen Tiguan?

Your car is responsible for safely transporting you from home to work, to school, or on errands, and back again, every day of the week. Make sure your car is always up to the job by following a general maintenance routine.

Year 1: 10,000 Miles Maintenance

Owning a new car is exciting, but it needs proper care even after a year. Once your Volkswagen Tiguan reaches 10,000 miles, it is time for its first service checkup.

Brakes – Brakes are known to break down over time, so the first order of business is making sure your brakes are in good condition. You’ll need to check the front and rear brake pads and the discs. Luckily, you can schedule a brake inspection with our trusted team at Hendrick Volkswagen Frisco!

Engine –  Next, you want to avoid any possible damage to your engine, so changing your oil, filter, and coolant (which stops overheating) is essential to prevent unwanted maintenance issues. What if your check engine light comes on? Address the problem head-on and get a check engine light diagnosis near you.

Tires – Like the brake pads, your tires experience wear and tear over time, so a quick rotation will prolong their longevity and ensure that your car rides smoothly. Don’t neglect your tires and save money from not buying new ones by scheduling a rotation near you! 

Safety Inspection – Finally, a general safety inspection is a vital part of your maintenance routine- checking your airbags, seatbelts, and lightbulbs are all things you can do to ensure your car is still operating at 100%. Keeping track of these things can be overwhelming, so let our experts at Hendrick Volkswagen Frisco take care of it and stress less knowing your car is in good hands!

Year 2: 20,000 Miles Maintenance

As you follow the suggested routine, you’ll notice that your car requires different services.

Tires – At this point, your tires have driven down more roads and are more weathered. Check your tire’s mobility with a kit and ensure the filter is not expired and the treads are still in good shape.

Battery – Like a TV remote, your car battery needs to be changed now and then.  Have a technician perform an inspection and stay on top of your car’s battery life.

Engine and Windshield – Like the 10,000-mile maintenance, you’ll want to recheck your engine’s oil and filter. Finally, you’ll check your windshield wiper blades and washer fluid and clean the headlights.

Years 3 & 4: 30,000 & 40,000 Miles Maintenance

Maintenance after 30,000 miles is the same as the previous checkpoint. Once you hit 40,000 miles, your service technicians will implement a few new services.

Spark Plugs and Electrical System – You cannot start your car if your spark plugs aren’t in good shape! Check and replace them to avoid any future problems when firing your engine. After the spark plugs are taken care of, you’ll need to examine your electrical system’s wires and other components.

Body Corrosion and Exhaust – The longer you drive your car, the more susceptible to corrosion. By checking your car’s interior, exterior, and interior, you can make sure it continues to function smoothly. The last part of the ignition system is the exhaust, and it has to be pumping air out correctly for the complete system to work.

Year 5 and up 50,000+  Miles Maintenance

After 5 years, your car Tiguan’s maintenance is recommended for all the services listed. Follow-up appointments will follow past service orders. When you reach 60,000 miles, you will get a new air filter to improve the air quality and your car’s engine.
