If your car could talk, what would it want this year? Presumably, it would want to spend the year running smoothly. Do right by your Volvo in 2021 with some common sense regular maintenance sure to keep it on track for a year of excellent performance.

Keep an Eye on Your Tires

Summer or winter, your tires are the foundation that provides a firm grip on the road. If your tires are aging, it's time for a new set. For tires with some life left in them, regular rotations will keep them from developing uneven wear patterns that can lead to a flat. Proper inflation will keep your ride smooth and save you money at the pump, so check your tire pressure once every other month or so and definitely before a road trip. You can make it part of your car washing routine to make it easier to remember.

Oil's Well That Ends Well

Keep your engine young with regular oil changes. Microscopic metal shavings and grit from road dust scour your delicate engine parts once they become embedded in your oil, which is why dirty oil is such a detriment. Follow your Volvo owner's manual for the proper change schedule and always use the suggested oil type.

Time for a Glow-Up

A good wash and a fresh coat of wax can have your Volvo looking like new again. You're never wasting time or money in keeping your exterior maintained, as you'll improve your vehicle's resale value while enjoying a freshly cleaned vehicle in the meantime. Fixing small nicks in the paint can prevent rust patches from developing and causing expensive damage. Keeping the interior free of dirt, pet hair, or other items will make your interior shine and maintain its value.
