Volvo Warranty Options

Volvo’s standard factory warranty includes bumper-to-bumper and powertrain coverage for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Volvo also provides factory-scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles and 24/7 roadside assistance. In 2015, Volvo introduced the Customer Lifetime Parts & Labor Warranty, which is available to any retail customer who purchases an eligible part and has it installed by an authorized Volvo dealer.

When the subsequent owner’s original warranty expires, a vehicle service contract from Endurance Warranty can help cover the repair or replacement costs for a used or certified pre-owned Volvo part.

  It’s no surprise that breakdowns tend to occur more frequently after a vehicle’s factory warranty expires. And as a Volvo owner, you might find that the repair costs are higher than average because of the premium parts and materials the brand uses. But rather than worrying about unexpected repair bills, consider customizing an Endurance coverage plan that fits your unique needs and budget.

  At Endurance, you’re not limited to using only Volvo-approved service centers. You can take your car to any licensed auto shop, whether it’s nearby or in another city. You also receive 24/7 roadside assistance, rental car reimbursement, and lockout services.
