Our vehicles go through a lot during the winter. As the season ends, it’s important to schedule Volvo maintenance and prepare your vehicle for spring. Fields Volvo Cars Northfield shares three auto maintenance tasks that you shouldn’t skip.

Oil Change

To protect your engine and avoid wear, we recommend scheduling an engine oil change. Your engine needs oil to keep its many parts lubricated, or else they could face abrasive wear or overheat, leading to warping or even total engine failure. Since your engine oil can become thick and contaminated during the winter, this is the perfect time to replace it.

Brake Inspection

Between the cold weather, excess moisture, and salt on the roads, our brakes can become seriously damaged during the winter. Before spring starts, you should definitely have your brakes inspected to make sure you can still effectively stop your vehicle. We will also make sure that your brake pads haven’t become too thin and replace your brake fluid, if need be.

Wheel Alignment

For your safety, you should also have a wheel alignment completed before spring. It’s common for wheels to become misaligned during the winter due to the icy streets and rough terrain. A wheel alignment can help to prevent any more tire wear, and it can also improve your steering and even help you stay centered on the road.
