What Are the Benefits of Choosing Volvo Penta?

Choosing Volvo Penta has many benefits that ensure you maintain peak performance for your marine or industrial asset. All Volvo Penta products are designed, tested and manufactured to meet high-quality requirements and provide a long service life. As well as reliable products, Volvo Penta also has several other benefits:

1. Two-Year Warranty

Purchasing your genuine Volvo Penta parts comes with a 12-month warranty, as standard, excluding general wear and tear.If the parts are supplied and fitted by Royston, then the warranty is doubled to 24-month or 600 hours (for leisure use) and 3,000 hours (for commercial use) and that includes the labour involved in fitting the part.

2. Extended Coverage

On top of your 24-month warranty, you can also opt for extended coverage for your engine and major components. Volvo Penta’s extended coverage programs give you peace of mind for up to five years, so should any unexpected repair costs occur, you know you’re covered wherever you are in the world.

5. Remanufactured Components/Exchange Service

As part of their sustainability efforts, Volvo Penta offers an exchange service for engines and components such as long blocks, short blocks, cylinder heads, injectors, turbochargers and circulation pumps. The Exchange System is based on an recycle program where you return a corresponding worn component (the core) to Royston (or any other authorised Volvo Penta dealer) in return for a new Exchange component. The program allows you to return the worn component once the new component is installed and the engine is running again. When buying an Exchange component, a core fee will be added on the invoice. The core fee is refunded as soon as the worn component (the core) is returned.We’ll send the old core for disassembly to avoid waste, where each component will be inspected and restored (where possible). All re-used, and restored components undergo vigorous testing to ensure they fulfil the exact specifications as a new part. Parts that cannot be restored are recycled.See the attached for more information.And another bonus, exchanged components are also covered by the Volvo Penta 12-month standard warranty or 24-months when fitted by an authorised Volvo Penta dealer.

6. Service Agreements

To ensure your vessel or asset is continuously operating at its highest performance level, Volvo Penta offers Service Agreements, which are tailored solutions created by you and your dealer. Your Service Agreement offers predictable costs, simplified budgeting and a lower total cost of ownership. It can be tailored to suit your budget and needs and can include anything from regular inspections to a comprehensive service and maintenance solution.
