Common problems and easy repairs on a 2013 ATS

The 2013 Cadillac ATS Performance is a difficult car to maintain due to its many convoluted procedures. The battery is located in the trunk and will require the removal of multiple portions of the trunk lining for access. The headlights can only be reached through the wheel well, which has cramped access overall. The 2013 Cadillac ATS Performance also lacks a spare tire and jack kit, and in the case of a flat a towing service must be contacted and a tow hook installed.

There are a couple of high points on the 2013 Cadillac ATS Performance. The engine coolant reservoir is quick to find and has a level marker and upper radiator hose that are easy to check. All three of the fuse boxes can be accessed easily and one comes provided with a fuse puller for convenience. The oil dipstick is easy to remove and read its level markers when necessary.
