Volvo Brake Repair

Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair. We offer a number of brake repair services for your 1983 Volvo 242, including brake drum and rotor resurfacing, replacement of brake shoes and pads, wheel cylinder and brake caliper installation, and brake fluid exchange. Don't wait if you're experiencing brake squeaks or a loss of braking power. Safe driving is practically impossible without responsive brakes. Not to mention, letting brake issues linger could lead to even more wear and tear and rising repair bills later.

Volvo Battery Charging & Starting Services

It doesn’t matter how your vehicle performs if you can’t start it. Trust our starting and charging repair services to get your Volvo 242 back on the road. We’ll start with a thorough check of your battery, alternator, and starter to figure out where the root of your 242’s electrical problem lies. If we discover an issue with one of those elements, a technician will talk to you about the different options you have when it comes to replacing or repairing a bad alternator or starter in your 1983 Volvo 242.

Volvo Engine Repair Services

"The engine is the lifeblood of America. It’s what moves this country, what built this country.” That’s how one of our lead technicians, Alex, thinks of engines. And frankly, we couldn’t agree more. Without your engine, your vehicle isn't going anywhere. Out of all the 1983 Volvo 242 repair services we offer, engine repairs are some of the most important. From spark plugs to ignition coils and everything in between, we can replace and repair your 242’s engine parts. Schedule an appointment if you're experiencing problems that could require engine repair.

Repairs for Your Volvo 242 Radiator

Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It assists in keeping your engine temperature within a safe range. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, your chances of an overheated (and broken down) engine go way up. Radiator repair is essential for long-term engine health, and you should replace the coolant/antifreeze in your 1983 Volvo 242 at the intervals recommended by Volvo. If you have coolant leaks under your car, an illuminated “low coolant” light, or a higher than usual engine temperature on your dashboard thermometer, these signs could indicate that your radiator needs service.

1983 Volvo 242 Service Q&A

  • Can Volvos get engine sludge? Volvo 242 engine sludge happens when motor oil breaks down, thickens and gathers debris. The goop can damage your engine and lead to overheating. Work to prevent engine sludge by investing in routine oil changes, using Volvo-approved oil, and avoiding short trips.
  •  Is Volvo's recommended maintenance really that important? Use your manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule to help prevent costly repairs later. Take care of your car, and it’ll take care of you. Follow the maintenance schedule written by Volvo to keep your car in its best possible condition. After all, the cheapest kind of repair is one that never has to happen!
  • What should I tell the technician when I bring my Volvo to the shop? When you bring your Volvo 242 in for a repair service, give your technician as much information as possible. What's your driving style? What type of conditions do you drive in? Do you haul heavy loads? When and what was the last service you had if it was at a different repair shop? This information can help them make an informed diagnosis.
