Spring is the ideal time to refresh your Volvo after a long, harsh winter season and prepare it for the hot summer temperatures that wait ahead. While summer might seem like a relatively benign part of the year, it can take almost as much of a toll on your Volvo as the worst winter weather. Get a jump on your vehicle's seasonal maintenance now at Ken Pollock Volvo Cars near Wilkes-Barre and make it that much easier to run last-minute errands through Luzerne County or plan a road trip through Pennsylvania to visit relatives.
Winter affects your Volvo inside and out. If you have a set of winter tires currently installed, it's time to switch them for a summer set. Summer tires are much better at gripping pavement that's superheated, holding up under the intense heat caused by friction and blazing sunshine. Under the hood, your engine might be the worse for wear after winter's cold temperatures. Your technician can check fluid levels, inspect belts, hoses, and gaskets, and check your filters to see if it's time to replace them.
Your Volvo will also benefit from an oil change. Clean oil increases the efficiency of your engine, causing it to utilize less fuel and not produce as much heat. Both side effects are ideal for improving gas mileage and avoiding overheating on a long road trip. Inspecting your brakes and replacing the pads, or topping off the hydraulic fluid will also keep you safe whether you're driving to a weekend destination or just across town.
