Why Check Your Volvo Battery?
Did you know that your modern Volvo vehicle has more computers & processing power than the original space shuttle? That's a lot of power. This is why you'll want to make sure that your vehicle's systems are always supported with the energy they need to keep you and your family safe & secure in Virginia Beach, VA, and beyond. Here's some symptoms to watch out for:
- Your Red Volvo Battery Light -If you've seen this light come and go, and now it's staying on, chances are your Volvo battery is dead, and if it isn't, the clock is ticking. The problem here is a likely fault in your starting/charging circuit, which is something we can take minutes to determine.
- You've Got A Volvo Battery Draining Problem - Let's hope this is an easy one. If you've got kids in the vehicle, especially in the third row, ensure accessory and dome lights are off. This ends up being the culprit, more than you might think. However, if it's not, then our specialists can quickly determine the source of the drain and remedy the issue.
- The Ghost In The Machine -Have you parked recently and had the alarm go off at random? Perhaps in the middle of the night. That's not so fun. Does your navigation screen appear to be possessed? It's likely not supernatural forces at work. The solution to your woes can be as simple as a Volvo battery replacement. Who ya 'gonna call?
Sure, you might be thinking about going to the local car parts store near Chesapeake, VA, for a curbside swap, but buyers beware. Certain systems need calibration after a Volvo battery is replaced. That can only happen here. Additionally, you'll need a quality battery that is designed to go the distance. We'll make sure that our parts & service specials minimize your Volvo battery replacement cost.
