Welcome to Gengras Volvo Hartford CT, your trusted destination for all things Volvo.

In this guide, we'll walk you through essential beginner's tips to keep your Volvo running smoothly, ensuring you drive and thrive for miles to come.

1. Regular Oil Changes: Just like your body needs water, your Volvo needs clean oil to operate efficiently. Schedule regular oil changes at our service center to keep your engine running smoothly and prevent costly repairs down the road.

2. Tire Care: Your tires are your car's first line of defense on the road. Check tire pressure regularly and rotate them every 5,000 to 7,000 miles to promote even wear. If you're in need of new tires, explore our selection of top-quality options suitable for your Volvo.

3. Fluid Checks: From coolant to brake fluid, your Volvo relies on various fluids to operate effectively. Regularly check fluid levels and top them off as needed to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.

4. Battery Maintenance: A dead battery can quickly put a halt to your journey. Keep your battery terminals clean and inspect them for signs of corrosion. If you're in need of a replacement, our service center offers genuine Volvo batteries to keep you powered up.

5. Scheduled Maintenance: Stay ahead of potential issues by following your Volvo's recommended maintenance schedule. From routine inspections to part replacements, our expert technicians will ensure your vehicle receives the care it deserves.

6. Explore Electric Options: Interested in reducing your carbon footprint? Discover our range of electric vehicles, designed to deliver sustainable performance without compromising on luxury or style. Ask about our new Volvo specials to find exclusive offers on the latest electric models.

7. Service Loaners: Don't let maintenance get in the way of your busy schedule. Take advantage of our service loaner program, providing you with a temporary vehicle while yours is in the shop.
