Drivers need to put Volvo maintenance at the top of their spring checklist. That’s because the changing season in Chicago can put a strain on your vehicle. To that end, the Fields Volvo Cars Northfield team recommends booking a service appointment to get these tasks done.
Repairing Winter Damage
During the winter, snow and ice can damage external parts of your vehicle. Frigid temperatures can also affect your engine and battery. Make sure you inspect them after the winter ends so we can ensure that they’re operating effectively.
Tire Service
Checking your tires during the spring is always a good idea, especially since driving on ice will give them a workout. Monitor your tires for wear and tear, and replace them as needed. If you installed winter tires, spring is a great time to take them off.
Brake Service
Have you inspected your brake pads recently? If it’s been a while since your last brake service or you noticed any reduced stopping power, you should book a maintenance visit this spring. Our team can look for any braking issues and replace worn pads.
Replacing Wiper Blades
Springtime often brings rainy weather, and if your wiper blades are worn down, you won’t maintain the visibility you need during a storm. To that end, replace any worn blades to keep your windshield clear.
Topping Off Fluids
Finally, you should fill any fluids that are getting low. This includes oil, transmission fluid, coolant, and windshield wiper fluids. It’s also a good idea to look for leaks and patch them.
