The Volvo brand’s luxury cars, wagons, and SUVs are some of the auto industry’s best-built vehicles, but even the best require regular maintenance and care to continue performing like the well-oiled machines they are. This is where the experienced team at Volvo Cars Silver Spring comes in. Whatever the season and whatever your needs, we’re here to keep your Volvo model running right.


In the heat of summer, even top-quality Volvo automobiles are at risk, especially when exposed to excessive heat. The first place you want to focus on is your engine, where the magic happens and where costly repairs await if you go too long without having it inspected by our crack Volvo team in Silver Spring, MD. And of course, your engine’s specific needs will depend on whether you’re driving a brand-new 2017 Volvo S90 or a Volvo XC60 near Silver Spring, MD that’s a few years old.


In the latter case, it’s vitally important to have your coolant system inspected. As time passes, leaks can develop in the hoses that comprise the system, in particular where a hose connects to the engine block. Our Volvo service experts will inspect and patch any leaks we find, and we’ll also examine your coolant system’s joints and reservoir. When discussing summer car care, nothing is more important than a well-cooled engine.


Similar to hoses, your engine’s belts (i.e. the timing belt and serpentine belt) will naturally wear down over time – a fact that’s exacerbated by hot weather that hastens cracking and tearing. When you choose us for Volvo service near Columbia, MD, our technicians will confirm that these belts possess the appropriate amount of tension and are in good shape. If we see that something’s amiss, we’ll let you know right away.
