Winter Maintenance

The Top Ten List of Winter Services for Your Volvo

1. Windshield Crack and Chip Inspection: Cracks and chips need to be fixed before the cold weather can make them worse, so we’ll find them and take care of them for you.
2. Change Washer Fluid to Winter Blend: Winter blends of washer fluid are designed so that they don’t freeze when squirted onto a sub-zero windshield, so it’s best to get yours switched out as soon as possible.
3. Battery Testing: You never want to be stranded without battery power in the cold, so it’s good to check and see if you’ll be needing a new battery soon or not.
4. Battery Inspection: In the spirit of preventing winter strandings, we can also check the auxiliary systems that work with your battery to make sure they’re working right.
5. Tire Inspection: We can check your tire treads for safety as well as provide you with brand new snow tires for the season.
6. Check Wiper Blades: Windshield wiper blades degrade quicker than you expect, and you want to have maximum visibility come winter’s storms.
7. HVAC Inspection: Your HVAC systems keep you warm and comfortable while driving, so it’s a great idea to get them checked out before the cold weather comes.
8. Check/Replace Engine Coolant and Antifreeze: Coolant and antifreeze are the pair that keep your engine’s cooling system running throughout the winter, so it’s good to keep those levels in the right place.
9. Brake Inspection: Getting your brakes inspected will save you from lack of control on the slippery roads.
10. Roadside Safety Kit: The best way to be prepared for an emergency is to have a roadside safety kit in your car.
