How to Maintain Your Volvo Like a Pro: Tips from the Experts

Posted on the 18/07/2025

Owning a Volvo comes with the benefit of excellent engineering, but like any vehicle, regular maintenance is the key to keeping it performing at its best. At Corner Garage Volvo, we’ve been helping drivers take care of their Volvos for over 30 years. Here’s what every Volvo owner should know. Whether you’ve just purchased a used Volvo or have been driving one for years, a good maintenance routine can save you time and money in the long run.

  • Stick to Volvo’s recommended service intervals
  • Check oil levels and tyre pressures regularly
  • Replace filters and fluids on schedule
  • Book in for software updates and diagnostics annually
  • Keep an eye on warning lights and unusual sounds

Volvo models often feature complex onboard systems that require specialist attention. That’s why we offer diagnostic checks and software updates as part of our service packages. If you’re unsure what your Volvo needs, our technicians are happy to explain everything in simple terms. We only recommend what’s necessary and provide solutions that work for your budget and lifestyle. With Corner Garage Volvo in Preston, you’re not just maintaining your car – you’re protecting your investment. Contact us today to book your next service or MOT.

I’m the one in the background keeping everyone organised. I work part time but if you call, I might be the one booking your service or arranging a Volvo test drive.

I’ve worked here for a very long time and so I know the business inside and out, keeping an eye on all the paperwork, advertising, and social media.

Mechanical Technician

I’ve been at Corner Garage for 25 years and tackled just about every issue a Volvo can throw my way. Whether you need a routine service, or a complex fault takes you off the road, I use my expertise to get you going quickly and safely.

We’re a friendly bunch so I’m not always hiding under a car. When you come in, you can meet the person working on your car, that’s me or Paul. And you’ll often find me speaking to customers, running diagnostics, or pitching in to get the job done.

Diagnostic Technician

If one of those warning light flashes up on your dashboard, I’m the man you need. I’ve worked at Corner Garage for just over 10 years, working out your nagging car problems and fixing them.

I love working in a family run business, there are no targets like the big dealerships, what matters here is taking care of our customers. I’ve known some of our customers for years, and I’m always around for a bit of advice on their Volvo.

DARYL

Head of Garage

I took over Corner Garage in 2024, bringing my 35 years of experience in the motoring industry. Born and raised in Preston, I now spend a lot of time travelling the UK to source the best Volvos for our customers. When I’m not at the garage, I’m running Naze Lane Garage in Freckleton or acting as unofficial chauffeur for my kids.

I believe in doing things properly - no hidden charges, no dodgy cars, no pressure, and straightforward advice. I get a lot of satisfaction from finding high-quality cars and keeping them on the road.
