You want your Volvo 740 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 740 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

Volvo knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 740 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1990 Volvo 740 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1990 Volvo 740 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 740's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1990 Volvo 740. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 740 may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Volvo 740 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 740 stranded. Your Volvo 740 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
