Back to school checklist from Stuttgart Autohaus

Back-to-School Maintenance Checklist for Your European Car

1. Check and Top Off Fluids

Maintaining proper fluid levels helps prevent breakdowns and ensures smooth performance during your busy schedule.

  • Engine Oil

  • Coolant

  • Transmission Fluid

  • Brake Fluid

  • Windshield Washer Fluid

2. Inspect Brakes and Tires
  • Inspect brake pads and rotors for wear; listen for squealing or grinding

  • Check brake fluid levels

  • Verify tire pressure and tread depth for safe handling and extended tire life. If tires are more than 6 years old consider replacing them before they fail.

3. Test the Battery

Avoid unexpected battery failures before or after school runs.

  • Inspect battery terminals for corrosion

  • Test battery strength—replace if weak or over 3–5 years old

4. Check Lights and Wipers

Be visible and maintain clear vision in all conditions.

  • Ensure all headlights, brake lights, signals, and hazard lights are functional

  • Replace worn wiper blades and top off washer fluid

5. Inspect Belts and Hoses

Worn rubber components can fail without warning.

  • Have belts and hoses checked for cracks, leaks, or signs of wear, replace if needed

6. Routine Oil Change & Filter Replacement

Protect your engine with fresh oil and clean filters.

  • Essential for preserving the performance of luxury models like Audi, Volvo, and Mercedes Benz

7. Clean and Organize the Interior

Start the school year fresh.

  • Clear out clutter, vacuum floor mats, and inspect seat belts and child safety restraints

8. Stock Your Emergency Kit

Be prepared for unexpected roadside situations.

  • Include a flashlight, jumper cables or portable battery jumper, tire repair kit, hazard triangle, first aid kit, and blanket
