When it comes to brake repairs, your safety is of utmost importance. Even if you’re a careful driver, Volvo 242 brake problems could lead to unsafe driving conditions – or worse, an accident. Pulsing in the brake pedal, increased stopping distance, brake noise, or an illuminated dashboard brake light should all be cause for concern. No matter how reliable your Volvo 242 is, it'll need brake repair at one point or another. Brake pads and parts naturally wear out over time. Driving habits and climate can also affect when you might need brake repair.

Tire problems are another one you don't want to let linger. If your tires are damaged and can’t grip the road, your safety could be compromised. We can easily swap out a flat tire on your 1983 Volvo 242, or if the damage isn’t severe, patch and plug your Volvo 242 tire with a simple, effective repair process. Many tread-area punctures can be repaired if they are less than ¼ of an inch in diameter. If a repair isn’t safe for your particular tire situation, a technician can answer any questions you have when choosing a tire replacement that suits your vehicle and your budget. We may also recommend an alignment or balancing when you have a tire repair since tire damage can impact other 'around the wheel' parts.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care is also equipped to handle many 1983 Volvo 242 transmission, drivetrain, and engine repairs. Each of these systems is made up of hundreds of interconnected parts, each rubbing against another to create heat and energy. Over time, all those constantly moving components can get worn down. If this happens, you may hear engine knocking noises, feel a delay in transmission shifting, or even smell a burning odor from under your 242’s hood. With these symptoms, it’s best to bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care to diagnose the problem. This could be a simple fix like a new spark plug, or you may need repairs to your fuel pump.

The cost to repair your 1983 Volvo 242 depends on what kind of repair you need, the cost of any replacement parts, how much labor the repair will take, and your locale. Tax rates and labor costs in one state may be completely different from another state. But no matter your location, you may be able to save money with one of our many auto repair coupons or offers.
