Service schedule?

Does the new XC90 need a service every 12 months?

There is an offer with the Affinity scheme of 3 years servicing for £300, 5 years £500. I just wondered how many services that would cover.

My dealer is not very knowledgeable, thought I was better asking here.

I bought mine using the Affinity Scheme and went for the 3 yr/£300 offer. I did the same and checked, it is every 12 months/18k miles.

Super thanks. I think I'll order tomorrow, just waiting a couple of clarifications from the dealer. The service deal is a good offer.

Hi
I got 3 year service offered free with PCP finance
Just in case you will be ordering through this route.

The 3 year & 5 year service offer is definitely a great offer. Anyone know if servicing with Volvo then gives you free breakdown cover if anything goes wrong. Mercedes do this if you get the car serviced by them, but so it should when you are paying £120 plus an hour labour at their workshops.

Yes, your new car is enrolled in the Volvo Assistance scheme, which includes breakdown cover in various situations and software updates at service time.

More info for the UK/Europe scheme can be found here:

Yes, even if you don't drive a lot, Volvo wants (some of) your money each year.

Yes - as far as I know, you stay in the Volvo breakdown scheme for as long as you keep having the car serviced by Volvo.
