Volvo Servicing

The cost of your Volvo service depends on your model, its powertrain and the type of service you require. Contact Lipscomb Volvo in Maidstone or Canterbury to find out about our current service offers and obtain a personalised quote.​​

While Volvo aftersales care can be carried out at independent garages, choosing a franchised dealership is recommended. At Lipscomb Volvo in Maidstone and Canterbury, you’re guaranteed manufacturer-certified expertise, genuine Volvo parts and warranty protection, giving you confidence in the quality of our care.

A service can take anywhere between an hour and four hours, depending on the type of service required and whether there are any issues that need resolving. Rest assured that if further work is required, we will contact you with details and a quote before proceeding.

The components and systems checked during your service will depend on the type of service your vehicle requires and whether it’s a petrol, hybrid or electric car. Typically you can expect fluid checks, brake checks, and an oil and filter change where applicable, as well as inspections of other key components such as the lights, steering, suspension and battery. Contact our aftersales team for a full breakdown.

In addition to essential checks, a full service includes tests on the wipers, horn, seatbelts, mirrors, tyre tread depth and pressure and more. The Lipscomb servicing department can give you a detailed breakdown of the checks included if you require.

Volvos should be serviced according to the manufacturer recommendations. Volvo indicates that petrol, diesel and hybrid models should be serviced every 12 months or 18,000 miles - whichever comes first. Its electric cars should be serviced every 24 months or 18,000 miles - whichever comes first. Many modern Volvos notify you in the dashboard display when a service is due.

Yes. Just like petrol, diesel and hybrid cars, it’s important to service electric Volvos to ensure they perform at their best. Servicing enables technicians to resolve issues before they escalate, and ensures all key components are functioning optimally.

You can check your Volvo’s service history via the Volvo Cars App or by using your Volvo Portal account. Alternatively, give the team at Lipscomb a call for an update on your vehicle service history.
