10) RT Mechanics http://www.rtmechanics.co.uk/are offering VOC members 10% discount on parts and servicing. To get the discount members need to show their current VOC membership card.

There are a variety of companies offering discounts to VOC members, please see members' discounts on the main part of the website.

Don't forget that members get discounts at Volvo dealerships on parts and service - just show your membership to participating dealers.

I feel that it is both in our interests and in the businesses' interests to offer preferential rates to members. We do have purchase power as a group having over five thousand VOC members. It would be useful to get discounts in a National context - let me know!
