1988 Volvo 780 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Volvo 780 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 780. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get 780 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1988 Volvo 780!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Volvo, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 780's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1988 Volvo 780 problems later.

Bring your 1988 Volvo 780 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 780. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1988 Volvo 780 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 780 may need a replacement battery sooner.

It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 780 stranded. Your Volvo 780 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
