When it comes to getting the most from your Volkswagen Taos, regular service and maintenance are essential—not only for the long-term health of your vehicle but also for safety and peace of mind. At Cardinale Volkswagen Salinas, serving drivers from Salinas, CA, as well as nearby Monterey and Pebble Beach, we believe in making service convenient, transparent, and tailored to your driving needs. Our expert team is specially trained to meet the needs of the Volkswagen Taos, handling Genuine Volkswagen Parts and advanced safety systems like IQ.DRIVE® with precision. Routine visits to a certified dealership help keep your vehicle performing to its full potential, protect warranty coverage, and spot concerns early before they become costly repairs. Every Volkswagen model has its own recommended schedule. While you should always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual and speak with your dealer or the manufacturer for the most up-to-date details, the following general guidelines apply to most recent Volkswagen Taos model years:
- Every 10,000 miles or annually (whichever comes first): Oil and filter change, brake inspection, tire rotation, and a check of key fluids and lighting systems.
- Every 20,000 miles: Replace the cabin air filter, inspect the cooling system, and examine the brake fluid level.
- Every 30,000-40,000 miles: Replace the engine air filter, spark plugs (as recommended), and inspect the suspension and exhaust components.
- Every 60,000 miles: Replace brake fluid, check the transmission, inspect drive belts and hoses for wear, and examine the battery health.
- As needed: Replace wiper blades, inspect tire tread depth and alignment, and address “Check Engine” or warning lights right away.
