2015 Volvo S80 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your S80's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Volvo, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2015 Volvo S80 to maintain its performance power. Follow Volvo's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Volvo S80 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2015 Volvo S80 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your S80 might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2015 Volvo S80? Again, it depends!
