Winter Volvo Maintenance Available at Kline Volvo Cars of Maplewood

Minnesota winters can be tough on vehicles, especially when it gets as snowy and cold as it does here in the Maplewood, MN, area. Whether you commute daily to work in Saint Paul, you transport children to school in Edina, or you're constantly making the trip to Minneapolis or beyond, you'll want to make sure that your Volvo vehicle is well maintained and serviced for the tough winter weather.Plus, you'll need quality parts and accessories to keep your Volvo running strong.

What Type of Winter Volvo Maintenance is Necessary for Minnesota?

While you should always be maintaining and repairing your Volvo vehicle, there are a few special winter items that should be considered. These include:

• Winter Tire Care - Every Maplewood, MN, area driver should have winter tires placed on their Volvo vehicle. Winter tires are made for the snow, ice, and freezing temperatures and can handle tough winter situations much better than summer tires or even all-seasons. Once you have winter tires on your car, make sure to keep them well maintained throughout the winter months. Keep an eye on the tire pressure (adjusting as necessary), check for any dents or dings, and don't forget to inspect your spare tire every now and then.


• Battery Care - Cold temperatures can affect your car's battery. If you've noticed your car takes a while to start, you'll want to have the battery's charge tested or the battery replaced.


• Windshield Care - Make sure that your vision isn't impaired, even when heavy snow arrives. Install winter wipers, which are heavier than normal wipers but stronger against ice and snow, and make sure that your windshield wiper fluid is full and unclogged.
