Winterizing Your Volvo: Be Prepared for Unpredictable Weather

After a long season of cold temps, ice and snow, your car needs a little extra care. Say goodbye to winter and prepare for the warmer months with this easy car maintenance checklist.

Here and everywhere else, OEM stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer." So, OEM automotive components are the official, genuine parts produced directly by your vehicle's maker.

Many aftermarket manufacturers develop parts that are designed to fit on multiple models of vehicles in order to mass produce them. This often leads to ill-fitting parts that require some manipulation to get them to bolt on.

Even in the best of times, winter can be rough here in Illinois. And with the added complications posed by the current COVID-19 public health crisis, you simply can't afford to find yourself without a reliable ride this winter. Luckily, here at our certified Volvo service center in Schaumburg, IL, we've helped drivers from all over the greater Chicago area to winterize their vehicles, and we'd be only too happy to do the same for you!

Often times, the simplest solutions are also the best ones. It's thinking like this that has made our fabulous lineup here at Patrick Volvo what it is over the years. By listening to what people want out of their cars, the engineers at Volvo have continued to design models that are invariably more safe, fuel-efficient and appealing than ever before.
