Free Volvo Safety Check

What does it involve?

• Well, just as Microsoft or Apple continually test, modify and upgrade the software they produce, Volvo continually test and provide software upgrades for their cars.
• These upgrades can influence Volvo cars performance, efficiency, environmental impact, and safety systems, for example the speed at which the airbags should deploy.
• Cecil & Larter can check the mechanical elements of your Volvo, we can also have the necessary VIDA equipment that provides our technicians with a direct link to the Volvo factory in Sweden.
• The connection to VIDA offers the most up-to-date information possible, allowing us to download the latest software upgrades, technical information and individual service actions for your Volvo.
• All Volvo models from 1999 onwards can be connected to our VIDA diagnostic system. Bringing your car in for a free Volvo Safety Inspection is the only way to check for upgrades to the software on your car and, were possible, to make sure it's up to date.

This safety inspection foms part of the Volvo Service Programme - so if we regularly have you Volvo serviced by us you will not need to take up this offer, as all appropriate upgrades would have been carried out at the last service.

The Free Volvo Safety Inspection, worth £56 inc VAT, usually forms part of a full Volvo service and is a thorough check of your vehicles systems.

Terms & Conditions

Only one free Volvo Safety Inspection per Volvo car. Further inspections can be carried out at £56 inc VAT, offer applicable to retail customers only.

A Volvo Safety Inspection does not replace the requirements of a Volvo scheduled service. Therefore, switching off of service reminder lights does not form part of the inspection.

Any corrective work not covered with the Volvo Safety Inspection will be quoted for. If the systems on your Volvo have had an unauthorised modification (e.g. chipped) then we will not be resposible for the potential loss of these modifications during the Volvo Safety Inspection. The completion of the Volvo Safety Inspection does not confer approval of unauthorised modifications and their impact on other systems on the car.
