There are a lot of reasons why you shouldn't skip out on your car's maintenance. It keeps everything healthy and running smooth, and it can catch faults before they endanger you. Here at Smothers European Volvo Cars, we take the maintenance of your car very seriously.
Keep Everything Running Smoothly
There are a lot of parts of maintenance that are all about keeping your Volvo running smoothly. Without it, you may start hearing strange noises from under your hood as your engine struggles to keep up.
Oil changes are one of the most important parts of maintenance. Oil acts as a lubricant for your engine, making sure it stays cool and doesn't wear itself down from the friction. When you get an oil change, we take out the old oil, which has picked up all the dirt and grime from the engine, and replace it with fresh oil.
Tire rotations are also important preventative-care. As you drive, your tires will wear down at different rates. This can come from a variety of factors, like the condition of the roads you drive, or if you have front-wheel drive, your front wheels will take the brunt of the stress. By swapping their positions around, you'll keep the wear even between them, which will increase their lifespan and keep traction even between them.
Catch Issues Before They Multiply
Another reason to come in for routine maintenance is so we can catch issues with your car before they cause any issues for you.
Brakes are extremely important, and sometimes you won't realize there's anything wrong with them until it's too late. We can inspect them to ensure any faults are caught before they become a danger to you.
You're also unlikely to notice if one of your lights stops working. Since you have both left and right headlights, if one goes out, you may not realize unless you're on a dark stretch of road by yourself. While you can perform a visual inspect yourself, we can check that everything is in working order all at once. We'll save you time, and, if there is an issue, we can fix it right there.
