Warranty Renewal Question
Hi,
My XC60 is coming up to 3 years old now and the warranty renewal has come though which is around £450 for an extra 1yr. Looking at 3rd party warranty sites - warrantywise with all the extras added comes to £295. The only thing I have had go wrong so far with the car was the Air Suspension Compressor which was replaced under warranty. I am looking to keep the car for at least another 2 years. What have you guys done so far? Be grateful for any advise? Thanks.

I took out the Volvo 2yr extension (only available through the dealer). Still provided by a 3rd party, and hence still with various exclusions - which I fell foul of. Had a couple of oil seals fail (crank shaft and cam shaft) - and the Volvo warranty doesn't cover oil leaks. Volvo agreed to cover 95% of the approx £1400 cost. Did the fact that I had a Volvo extended warranty help persuade them, rather than a different warranty? Who knows...

I took out an 18 month warranty with Motoreasy on my V90. Volvo quoted £495 for an additional year, with lots of things excluded, whereas Motoreasy offered 18 months for £525 with everything covered, and the car still goes to Volvo for the work. They say I simply let them know, take it into Volvo and let Volvo know about the warranty, and then they'll authorise / pay for the work to be done.
They were pretty useful with things like the start date too, as my main warranty was due to expire at the end of May, and Volvo announced that cars registered between two dates in 2017 (can't remember to be exact) would have their manufacturer warranties extended by three months. Rang Motoreasy, no problem at all and they've happily moved the start date with no issues.

It was Waylands Reading - but it was the Volvo extended warranty (had to be taken out before the end of the original manufacturer warranty). At the time - just over a year ago - you could get the one-year extension online, but you had to go through the dealer for the two year extension (roughly twice the cost ). I got the impression it was something to do with FCA requirements for financial services - and the dealerships didn't like it because it came with a load of paperwork requirements for them. But unless anything's changed, any dealer ought to be able to offer the 2-year extension (provided you're still within the original 3year warranty).

Bells Northampton have just quoted £895 for the 2 years/100 000 miles for our XC60. (stated 1 year extensions would be: Year 4 - £445 60000 miles /£495 80000 miles, Year 5 - £550 100000 miles) so £100 saving to buy 2 years in advance.
Warranty Direct £788 for 2 years (all options checked) with a £50 excess and uncapped labour. Motor easy £945 for 2 years Plan A with £50 excess - with 10% discount to be applied if bought today making it £850! Anyone got any thoughts, experiences or recommendations re using these companies versus via Volvo main dealer? Last edited by ST65; Jul 7th, 2020 at 14:56. |

Bells were great with me when I wanted to extend my warranty to 5 years in June last year. They are not my dealer, I live in the Scottish Highlands, who does not do the Volvo extended warranty due to FSA Regulations, but Bells were extremely helpful in setting it up for me.
The Volvo Extended Warranty is run by Car Plan. The warranty came into it's own in September when the steering lock failed and was replaced with out question.
