When you visit our service center at our Volvo dealership, you will find we are well-equipped and prepared to meet all your needs. This includes the basics like tire services. We're able to assist you in multiple ways and encourage you to schedule a service appointment with us at our dealership that serves those in Silver Spring, Hyattsville, and the Washington, DC area.
The most common tire service, these are vital to maximizing the life of your set of tires on your Volvo. Generally, we advise that you have your tires rotated every 5,000 to 6,000 miles. What this does is evenly distributes tire wear across your set, so the treads last longer and are safer on the road. Once tires lose too much tread, they are no longer safe on roads as they'll lack the necessary grip needed for all conditions.
If you've been up to date on your tire rotations, but aren't sure when your tires should be replaced, we can help. The right level of tire tread can be checked by us, but you can also check easily too. If you use a penny and place it head first down into the treads, you'll be able to determine if you need new tires. If the head of the penny is covered by the treads you're in good shape, but if you can see most or all of the top of the head, it means your tires should be changed over and we can assist you in buying a new set.
An alignment is meant to bring the angles of your tires in line via the suspension. This is so your Volvo is making the right contact with the road. There are multiple components to it, and our team will get your vehicle back to its proper alignment for a better drive. Warning signs that show you need an alignment include the pulling of your steering wheel in one direction or another, steering wheel vibrations, or your tire treads diminishing fast. We can handle it all and advise that every 6,000 miles you get your alignment.
Your tires need the right pressure to get you where you're going on your commute or trips around the Beltway. Having the right inflation does that, and on modern vehicles, you can find tire pressure warning indicators and even systems that let you know when you have the right amount of pressure when adding air. Of course, we can also add the air for you, and any time we do a tire rotation or alignment, we'll inflate your tires to the proper levels, which can be found in your Volvo owner's guides.
