When your Volvo needs a look.

Volvos rarely fail without warning. These are the early signs worth booking in for.

  • Cambelt age unknown

    If there is no record of the belt being changed, treat it as due. A belt that snaps usually takes the engine with it.

  • Hesitant automatic

    A slow or thumping change on a Geartronic is often old fluid. A fluid change is far cheaper than a gearbox.

  • AWD warning on the dash

    Often the coupling pump or its filter at the rear, and left alone the car runs in front wheel drive only.

  • Particulate filter light

    Common on diesels that only do short local runs. Caught early the filter can usually be cleared.

  • Oil leaks from the engine

    Breather systems and seals on the five cylinder D5 are known to weep, and a leak onto the exhaust is worth finding quickly.

  • Hybrid system warning

    On a T6 or T8 it can be a charging fault, a coolant level or a sensor. We read the codes before quoting.

Looking after a Volvo for the long run.

Volvos are built to last and usually kept for years. That makes the time based jobs matter as much as the mileage ones, because a car doing six thousand miles a year can be due a cambelt long before the odometer says so.

Your Volvo warranty and its service record.

Under block exemption rules a Volvo can be serviced by an independent garage without affecting the warranty, as long as the schedule is followed and the parts are of matching quality. Warranty repairs and recalls are paid for by Volvo and still go to a dealer.

Newer Volvos keep their history electronically. We add each service to that record and give you a written copy, so a Volvo that has spent its life with us sells with a history as complete as one that never left the dealer.

No. Under block exemption rules an independent garage can service a Volvo under warranty as long as the schedule is followed and the parts are of matching quality. Warranty repairs and recalls are paid for by Volvo and still go to a dealer.

Volvo sets a limit in years as well as in miles, and on a car that does low mileage the years often come first. Give us the registration and we will check the figure for your engine and quote for the belt, tensioner and water pump together.

Yes. The T6 and T8 Recharge models are serviced to the Volvo schedule, the engine side like any other Volvo, with the hybrid system checked on diagnostic equipment and its fault memory read before the car goes back.

Yes. Newer Volvos keep their history electronically, and we add every service to it along with a written record for you, so the history is complete whoever does the work.
