Great day for some maintenance on my 2012 Fiat 500

[Car guy]

Just passed 165,000 trouble free miles So time for some maintenance.
1. Oil and filter change
2. Air and cabin filter change
3. Tires
4. Brakes and rotors front and rear
5. Repair rear hatch mechanism
6. Wiper blades
7. Rear shocks
8. Rear wheel bearing
9. Timing belt

I feel extremely confident I’ll reach 250,000 miles. Bought it off a neighbor in 2012 for 11k and it’s been a fabulous small car.

Gee good on you, most people say that a FIAT will never reach that mileage let alone trouble free.

Cars are like houses.....there's always something to be done.

Feels good to knock some tasks off the list, doesn't it?

I had a Fiat 124 4door in the 70s and I had a ball with it, sold after 1 year as it was beginning to rust already.
FIAT steadfastly refused to change the alloy to suit NorthAmerica driving conditions. The power to weight ratio was so right that I did not need winter tires here in southern Ontario.
