What services comprise winter preparation at Scott Volvo Cars Allentown?
Each season has its own special demands it places on driving and vehicles. And certainly winter outside Emmaus is no exception.
At Scott Volvo Cars Allentown, we understand the local stressors affecting safety and performance. And in this, we offer winter-preparation servicing in time for colder temperatures and inclement weather.
So, let's glance at winter-preparation servicing details below for a safer winter when driving.
Battery Servicing
With colder temperatures, vehicle batteries become weakened to a degree almost ineffectual. And you never want to be left with a dead vehicle battery during short winter days in Coplay.
By having your Volvo battery serviced at Scott Volvo Cars Allentown, our factory-trained technicians will first clear any toxic residue around terminals and connections. Then, testing of storage capacity and strength takes place using advanced equipment.
Brake Systems
It's best practice to prepare for all seasons with a quarterly brake system inspection.
Given location, brake parts of rotors, pads and calipers see an incredible amount of wear. And corrosion and disrepair left unchecked is not an uncommon occurrence.
During winter-preparation servicing at Scott Volvo Cars Allentown, brakes systems will be inspected and parts replaced as necessary.
Tire Servicing
Where tires meet with Allentown roads is an all-important juncture. Especially considering the tendency for potholes to appear after snow events. Snowplows do much in damage to tarmac, and that's passed onto your tires and wheel rims.
When servicing your tires, treads are inspected for patterns of wear, which may signal issues with front-end wheel alignment. As well, tire rotation from well to well effectively mitigates wear patterns, so it's essential to ensure tires are robust and properly inflated for the winter challenges ahead.
Cabin and Engine Air Filters
Cabin and engine air filters limit the amount of contaminants seeking entry.
Given road salt and other seasonal debris left on roadways, it's important to have each filter examined for integrity and replaced as necessary. Your Volvo 2L, four-cylinder engine will see more efficient gas mileage as a result. And the Volvo XC90 cabin will remain as comfortable as designed during cold days and nights' traveling.
Wiper Systems
While perhaps overlooked as an essential part of winter travel, wiper blades must be sharp and ready to wipe windscreens free of ice and snow accumulation. As well, road salt combined with moisture will coat your Volvo S90 windshield in an opaque, white film or glaze.
During winter-preparation servicing, wiper blades are examined for sharpness while your wiper fluid reservoir is inspected for holes or leaks. Wiper fluid is then topped off to appropriate levels.
Tips for Winter Traveling Outside Bethlehem
Common sense is a good measure for winter traveling. Though tips comprise the following details:
- Dress appropriately for being outside during winter, no matter how far you're traveling.
- Have battery jumper cables within easy reach and keep wiper-washer fluid on hand.
- Ice-clearing tools and scrapers, and a small snow shovel are essential.
- Store a complement of warm sweaters and blankets just in case.
