Before colder weather begins to settle into western Pennsylvania, the commuting Allentown driver is encouraged to get their vehicle ready for all seasonal contingencies. This ensured with fall-themed preventive maintenance at Scott Volvo Cars Allentown.
As an all-encompassing procedure, nothing is left to chance regarding safety and performance both.
Servicing Your Volvo for Fall
Seasons' change outside Bethlehem is a pronounced affair. It could spell snow as early as late October and icy streets to navigate toward the holiday season. In any event, it's most prudent to have your Volvo luxury model prepared for what will be in western Pennsylvania.
As such, the following preventive maintenance tasks do much to enhance every aspect of Volvo-branded performance and the safety inherent to all Volvo models.
Oil Changes
After a long summer of commuting and excursions throughout western Pennsylvania, your engine oil is likely degraded to point it's now dark in color. Should this oil be left to lubricate internal engine parts, it could damage your engine entirely.
With fresh oil amber in color introduced, you'll be assured of sustained performance and a healthy engine going forward.
Brake Systems Inspected, Parts Replaced
Given role and location, brake parts will experience exponential wear. Rust is the usual culprit in corroding calipers, while the surfacing of rotors and pads may be denuded to a point dangerous and ineffectual.
Should replacement components be needed, only Volvo Genuine Parts are installed to further brand integrity and safety.
Tires Inspected, Rotated, Serviced
Being another vitally important vehicle system, your Volvo tire assortment needs to be in top form.
In this, tire servicing encompasses tread and sidewall inspections ensure tread depth is intact and confirmation of material integrity, respectively. Helping this along are tire rotations and pressure checks with inflation properly applied.
Battery Testing, Replacements
It's important to have confidence in your Volvo battery. Whether starting your commute or setting off on a long weekend, it's your battery that initiates the process and systems requiring a charge.
After testing, should your battery be deemed to weak for continued service, replacements are performed while the Bethlehem driver waits within a comfortable lounge area.
It's important to note that laypersons should never handle vehicle batteries themselves. Given the caustic nature of internal fluids and battery acid, only skilled and industry-certified professionals should facilitate servicing and replacement.
Air Filter Inspections
Certain Volvo systems require air filters for efficient operation. This extends to the air purifier for a comfortable cabin as well as the combustion engine.
With a simple inspection, each filter is examined for material integrity such as tearing and punctures. Or a filter well past its prime will be noted in the amount of particulates and debris that have been collected since replacements were last made.
Fluids Freshened, Topped Off
Every Volvo model has various systems requiring fresh and topped-off fluid levels. From brakes and steering to transmission and wipers, only full levels and fresh fluid installment will optimize performance during your commute from Allentown.
It's at this point that wiper blades will be examined for sharpness and flexibility, while replaced as necessary.
Headlamp, Taillight Inspections
With days becoming shorter as we move into winter, the Bethlehem driver should be assured the proper light is being emitted from headlamps and taillights.
A simple inspection will determine bulb health and the vitality of protective casing. From there, the commute back into Allentown should be free of incident.
