For Life – Volvo Care at Bernhard Auto Works.

Why does my Volvo go through batteries faster than I'd expect?

It usually comes down to how much electronic hardware a Volvo runs. All the safety, comfort, and infotainment systems draw power even when the car is parked, so a weak or aging battery gets exposed faster than it would in a simpler vehicle, and short trips that never fully recharge it make things worse. Catching a tired battery early saves you a no-start morning. Bernhard Auto Works, open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, can test your battery and charging system and let you know where they stand before one leaves you stranded.

Do my Volvo's safety features need maintenance too?

Yes, the systems behind Volvo's safety reputation depend on components that need to stay in good working order. The cameras, sensors, and radar that power features like collision warning and lane assist can be thrown off by wear, a dirty or blocked lens, or work done nearby, and when they drift the warnings do too. It is worth having them looked at if anything seems off. The trustworthy team at Bernhard Auto Works can inspect these systems and advise you, and point you in the right direction if a specialized calibration is needed.

Are Volvos expensive to maintain?

They sit a step above mainstream brands, but they are very manageable with the right approach. Volvo parts and service cost more than an economy car, yet far less than most European luxury rivals, and staying on top of routine care is what keeps the bills small and predictable. Choosing a good independent shop over the dealer is another easy way to keep costs down. Call Bernhard Auto Works at (618) 281-6900 and we'll map out what your Volvo actually needs.
