Service planning for your car

Using the service planning function, a workshop can retrieve your car's status before your visit through Volvo's authorised workshop system. It means your visit to the workshop can be planned more efficiently, for you and the service technicians. Spare parts can be ordered in advance and be ready before your visit to the workshop.
