Volvo offers lifetime warranty for parts and labor

Volvo offers lifetime warranty for parts and labor In a strategic move to lower ownership costs, Volvo has announced that its Service Advantage program will provide lifetime parts and labor warranty for Volvos serviced at a dealership after the original factory warranty expires. All Volvo models are eligible. In addition to the this new program, Volvo already offers lifetime map update (on 2014 and newer models with factory-equipped navigation), as well as free computer software updates and diagnostics, as needed. One tip we’ve frequently heard among readers who aim to stretch their car’s service life to 200,000 miles and beyond is to buy parts and service backed by a lifetime warranty. These protections can be found through some major repair chains, but they are typically not offered on original-equipment parts. With components such as the exhaust system and brakes, this can mean multiple cost-free replacements. (Read “Get your car fixed for (almost) free.”) With Volvos carrying a price premium, and having a rather varied reliability history, this new program should attract buyers and entice owners to remain loyal for the long run. Learn how to make your car last 200,000 miles or more. —Jeff Bartlett Would you consider buying a Volvo because of this new policy? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
