Driving around town behind the wheel of a Volvo is an experience like no other. Not only are you in one of the safest vehicles available, you'll also find yourself enjoying a luxurious interior that's full of cutting-edge technology.
We understand wanting this feeling and the look to last forever, or at least as long as possible. Take time to plan the necessary steps to keep your treasured Volvo in the best condition - inside and out.
Expert Advice
The makers of Volvo cars are the ones to outline the best care for your car. Rather than taking the Recommended Factory Scheduled Maintenance (FSM) as a simple recommendation, treat this list as an all-important to-do list.
Volvo recommends taking your new Volvo car in for service at least once a year for the first three years. Many maintenance visits include services such as oil changes, chassis check, inspection of wear and tear, filter replacement, and software updates.
Each new Volvo comes with at least three years (or 36,000 miles) of Factory Scheduled Maintenance (FSM) included in the warranty. No need to bring your credit card, all you need to do is schedule each appointment.
When you take your vehicle to an authorized Volvo dealer or a Volvo-certified mechanic, they have the same list of maintenance check points and replacements and the training to perform the services.
Keep it Clean
Regularly gather trash and belongings you no longer need in your car. Wipe down the interior with auto cleaning wipes and use glass cleaner to keep the windows clear.
And don't forget the outside. Be sure to wash, wax, and buff your Volvo often. Through each season, weather and road debris can take their toll on your car's paint job.
A local car wash and detailing company will gladly help you keep your car clean. Some car wash companies also offer frequent customer programs and discounts.
Care for the Tires
Especially if you're prone to driving higher mileage, plan to have your tires inspected and rotated regularly. When tires are not wearing evenly, they can disrupt some of the suspension and braking systems.
Replace the brakes pads every 40,000 or 50,000 miles to ensure your brakes will continue to slow and stop your vehicle safely.
