What is the price difference between new, reman and third-party spare parts?
Well, that depends on which part we are talking about, but a Volvo Reman Part will easily outperform any third-party alternative, considering quality for money. Especially for critical components such as turbo units, charging equipment, air compressors and water. Not to mention replacement engines, where the saving really makes a difference.
What are the other benefits of Reman Parts?
Remanufacturing means less use of raw materials – and less use of energy in production. For a manufacturer of Volvo’s size that will mean a significant reduction of environmental impact. And since Volvo Reman fulfils the original specification, they are qualified to be offered as Genuine Volvo Parts.
Why are spare parts important for the vehicle’s safety?
That’s something some seem to forget about. But some types of spare parts have direct and crucial safety functions. The most drastic example is brakes. Discs and brake pads with insufficient material composition could lead to sudden loss of brake power and ultimately an accident. A cheap alternator may not function properly with the electrical system. And a failing water pump could mean overheating.
What is the difference between original spare parts and counterfeit?
It's consistent quality assurance. New parts, Reman or Refurbished are all Volvo original, and takes uncertainties out of the maintenance equation. The fact remains that the way we produce, test and follow up the quality of Genuine Volvo Parts, we can assure you that your Volvo remains a Volvo – inside out. It’s simply the safer choice.
