It doesn’t matter whether you run a family business with a handful of vehicles or a full-scale nationwide operation. Our finely meshed dealer network offers aftermarket services, including everything from the convenience of a Gold Service Contract to fine-tuned parts logistics for your depots and workshops.
Assistance and spare parts are never far away for a Volvo owner. We share service network and spare parts logistics with Volvo Trucks and Volvo Construction Equipment. We have all the latest technical information and the necessary tools and software. All our technicians get regular training to ensure that your vehicles get the best possible care.
With our service contracts, the risk of unplanned stops, or even breakdowns, is significantly reduced. And for each of your vehicles, we design an individual maintenance plan. Because we know, and you know, that city buses with long service days need a different type of attention compared to, for instance, low-mileage intercity short-haulers.
If you are an operator running your own workshop, Volvo Connect has a range of services to make your daily work run smoother. Instant access to detailed and updated vehicle information will make the workshop visit shorter. And finding spare parts online makes planning and stock-keeping a lot easier.
Every bus generates a continuous stream of vehicle data. With a Volvo Connect subscription, this data is transformed to reports and insights that help to optimise the performance of each vehicle, as well as your entire Volvo fleet.
