Volvo Coolant: 101 By: Jason McKinsey With cooler weather on the horizon, many Volvo owners may be concerned with the condition of their vehicle’s coolant, also known as antifreeze. Owners worry about the ability of their vehicle’s coolant to withstand the low winter temperatures, as well as the proper type of coolant to use. Why does your engine need coolant?  Heat is a byproduct of the internal combustion engine.

Therefore, the engine must be cooled to maintain

The holiday season is quickly approaching which means Lehman Volvo Cars' annual “Protect the Gifts” Car Seat Campaign is just around the corner! There are many new parents in the Central Pennsylvania region who simply cannot afford new child seats for their families and unfortunately end up compromising on safety.  Based on Volvo Cars' core value of safety and Lehman Volvo Cars’ philanthropic efforts, the “Protect the Gifts” Car Seat Campaign provides families in need of new infant, toddler, or booster car seats at no cost.  In past years, Lehman Volvo Cars distributed 50 new car seats to deserving families in both the Mechanicsburg and York surrounding areas. Lehman Volvo Cars Owner and President, Ray Bromley explains: “During this time of year, the tendency is to start compiling a list of gifts for loved ones and we don’t always take the time to reflect upon the gifts we already have…our children. This campaign is a nice way of putting that thought into a meaningf

The launch of the all-new 2019 Volvo XC40 premium SUV is being accompanied by the launch of something else entirely: Care by Volvo, a new subscription service that will redefine the way people approach the process of buying vehicles. Care by Volvo will feature a national, flat-rate monthly fee that includes all of the traditional extras of buying a car, such as insurance, maintenance and down payments. It works very much like the subscription program used by many mobile phones. The process is free from negotiation and starts with the online order. An interested buyer can simply order online, head over to the nearest Volvo dealership and drive away after signing their contract their new Volvo without having to worry about all the usual hassle. “This is simple and clear, everything but fuel is basically included in one flat rate,” said Lex Kerssemakers, President & CEO of Volvo Cars USA, “This is the next step toward making life less complicated for customers.” Th
