Volvo's 24 Hour Emergency Roadside Assistance: 1-800-63-VOLVO (1-800-638-6586).
Shuttle Service: When you drop off your car for service, we are happy to give you a ride to your office, home, or anywhere else in Charlottesville. We will also pick you up when your car is ready.
Loaner Cars: We have a small fleet of loaner cars available for longer services. These must be scheduled ahead of time and are on a first come/first served basis. If a loaner is not available, we are happy to coordinate a rental car through Enterprise Car Rentals.
Volvo's Factory Scheduled Maintenance is every 7500 miles. We recommend an oil change every 3000-3500 miles in order to keep your Volvo running smoothly.
Summer Driving Tips
Check Tire Wear: Make sure your tires have good tread with even wear and that they are properly inflated. Under-inflated or unevenly-worn tires decrease fuel economy, are more prone to puncture and lose traction more easily.
Rotate, Balance & Alignment: This winter was rough on your car. In addition to tire wear & inflation, ask our Certified Volvo Technicians to ensure that your tires are properly aligned and balanced. This will extend the life of your tires and make travel safer.
Service Your Coolant System: Hot weather can take its toll on your vehicle. Make sure your coolant system is working properly. Change out your antifreeze and have all your coolant hoses and radiator inspected. Ask for your battery to be checked too.
Keep Your Hands Free: More and more accidents are being linked to cell phone use. Keep both hands free in order to properly operate your vehicle. If the phone rings or you get a text while driving, ask someone else to answer or wait until your next stop to check the message. All newer Volvo models have Bluetooth options. Nothing is more important than your safety and that of your passengers.
Take Your Time: As the weather gets nicer there are more people on the highways and thus more hazardous conditions. Follow the speed limit and take your time. Be sure to take breaks if you get tired, since drowsy driving is one of the leading causes of highway accidents.
