1991 Volvo 940 Maintenance

When it comes to your Volvo 940, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 940. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 940, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1991 Volvo 940!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Volvo themselves. 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 940 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1991 Volvo 940 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1991 Volvo 940 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 940. 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 1991 Volvo 940 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 940) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Volvo 940 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
