SEAT Maintenance Service
SEAT cars are known for their reliability and good technical solutions, but even the highest quality vehicles need regular maintenance. Regular servicing helps maintain the functionality of all vehicle systems, improves road safety, and helps avoid costly repairs in the future. At Volkkarihuolto.fi in Espoo, we specialize in servicing VAG group vehicles, including the entire SEAT model range. Below we explain how often you should service your car and what to pay attention to.
When should a SEAT be serviced?
Maintenance schedule recommendations are always provided by the manufacturer. On average, for most SEAT models, recommended service is every 15,000 km or once a year - whichever comes first.
- The first service (the so-called "zero service") is usually performed after 1,000-3,000 km of a new car's operation
- For cars operated in Finland's harsh climate conditions, service intervals may be shorter
- Vehicles used frequently for city trips with short stops also require more frequent maintenance
Why is timely maintenance important?
Delayed maintenance can lead to serious consequences:
- Reduced driving safety
- Accelerated wear of parts
- Decreased efficiency of the engine and other systems
- Loss of factory warranty (for new cars)
What does SEAT maintenance include?
Regular maintenance checks the condition of all key components. Typical procedures include:
Seasonal and preventive maintenance in Finland
Finland's climate makes seasonal maintenance particularly important. Before winter, it's important to check the battery, heating system, coolant level, and change summer tires to winter ones. In spring, conversely, it's worth conducting diagnostics after freezing temperatures, cleaning and treating components from road reagents, and checking the air conditioning and brake system.
