How Tesla schedules service
Tesla vehicles have no engine oil, no transmission fluid, no spark plugs, no timing belt, and no exhaust system to maintain. The schedule below is the entire factory-recommended service list. Tesla does not require dealer-stamped service intervals to maintain warranty — owners can service most items at home or at any qualified shop.

Essential maintenance
Critical for safety and preventing major damage
Tire Rotation
Every 6,250 miRotate tires every 6,250 miles or when tread depth difference exceeds 2/32". Performance models (Model 3 Performance, Model Y Performance) wear front tires faster — rotate at 5,000 miles.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$85
Shop
~$60
DIY
Free
Often free at the shop where you bought the tires — worth asking before paying.
Brake Fluid Test
On condition / lifetimeTest brake fluid for moisture every 2 years on Model 3/Y, every 4 years on Model S/X. Replace if moisture content exceeds the test threshold. Regenerative braking dramatically extends fluid life vs ICE vehicles.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$180–$200
Shop
~$125–$140
DIY
~$10–$25
DOT 3 or 4 — match the cap. Vacuum bleeders make this a one-person DIY.
Tire Pressure Check
Every 1,000 mi (monthly)Check tire pressure monthly. Tesla's range estimates assume manufacturer-spec pressure; under-inflation costs 5-10% range and accelerates tire wear.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$15
Shop
~$10
DIY
Free
Free at any gas station. A $10 gauge pays for itself the first time you catch a slow leak.
Important maintenance
Keeps your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently
Wheel Alignment Check
Every 12,500 miCheck alignment at 12,500 miles or any time tire wear is uneven. Tesla's instant torque amplifies misalignment-driven tire wear.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$165
Shop
~$115
DIY
Pro only
Needs an alignment rack — not a DIY job. Most shops charge $80–$150 for a four-wheel.
A/C Desiccant Bag
On condition / lifetimeModel 3 / Model Y: replace A/C desiccant bag every 4 years. Model S (2021+) / Model X (2021+): every 6 years. Required to keep heat pump operating efficiently.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$290–$360
Shop
~$205–$255
DIY
Pro only
Refrigerant handling is EPA-regulated — shop-only. Often deferred unless AC performance drops.
Brake Caliper Service (cold climates)
Every 12,500 miOwners in cold-climate regions (snow, road salt) should clean and lubricate brake calipers every 12,500 miles or annually. Light brake use from regen lets caliper sliders seize.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$275–$330
Shop
~$195–$235
DIY
~$20–$60
Pin lube + boot inspection. Stuck calipers cause uneven pad wear — worth doing if you DIY the pads anyway.
12V Auxiliary Battery (legacy lead-acid)
On condition / lifetimePre-2021 Model 3, pre-2022 Model Y, and earlier Model S/X use a 12V lead-acid auxiliary battery — typical service life 3-4 years. Newer models use a 16V lithium-ion battery rated for the life of the vehicle.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$225–$390
Shop
~$160–$280
DIY
~$130–$250
Most auto-parts stores test and install batteries free with purchase. Skip the dealer markup.
Recommended maintenance
Extends the life of your vehicle and improves comfort
Cabin Air Filter
On condition / lifetimeModel 3 / Model Y: replace every 2 years. Model S / Model X: replace every 3 years (HEPA filter, larger). Sooner in dusty climates or wildfire-prone regions.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$60–$95
Shop
~$45–$70
DIY
~$15–$40
Usually behind the glovebox. Shops charge labor for a 10-minute job — easy DIY win.
HEPA Filter (Model S / X with Bioweapon Defense Mode)
On condition / lifetimeModel S and Model X equipped with Bioweapon Defense Mode use a HEPA filter — replace every 3 years.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$130–$210
Shop
~$95–$150
DIY
~$35–$90
HEPA-grade replacement; aftermarket is improving but selection is narrower than standard cabin filters.
High-Voltage Battery — No Service
On condition / lifetimeThe high-voltage battery is sealed and has no scheduled maintenance. Tesla's 8-year/100,000-150,000-mile battery warranty covers capacity retention to 70%.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
