Summer is in full swing here in Northfield, IL, and with road trip season upon us, it’s important to ensure that your Volvo vehicle is in top condition before you hit the highway. At Fields Volvo Cars Northfield, our team of certified technicians is ready to perform a thorough Volvo maintenance check to make sure that your car is ready for the long haul. These are some key areas that we’ll focus on.
Safety and Visibility Check
Your ability to see the road ahead of you and stop confidently is critical for a safe journey. We will inspect your car’s brake pads and rotors for wear and tear, as well as check that your tire pressure and tread are where they need to be.
Because summer can bring sudden rain showers, we will also inspect the wiper blades for wear and top off your washer fluid. Finally, a check of all exterior lights ensures that you can see and be seen by other drivers.
Fluid and Drivetrain Check
Our technicians will also check the essential fluids and drivetrain components.
- Engine Oil: Fresh and clean oil is necessary to protect your engine from heat and stress.
- Battery: High heat can be tough on a battery, so we’ll test it to ensure that it’s reliable.
- Coolant: Coolant is essential to protect your engine from overheating.
Cabin Check and Cleaning
Because you’re going to be spending hours in the cabin, we’ll ensure that it’s comfortable. We’ll test your car’s A/C system to ensure that it’s blowing cold air, as well as check the cabin air filter.
We also recommend cleaning both the exterior and interior of your Volvo car. An exterior cleaning protects the paint from strong sun rays and prevents corrosion, while an interior cleaning creates a more relaxing environment.
