A service contract has one purpose only: to keep your vehicles available, safe and productive. A well-maintained bus or coach will simply do a better job. The risk of unplanned stops, or even breakdowns, is significantly reduced. What’s more, a properly serviced vehicle is also better at maintaining its value.
All vehicles are different. City buses with long service days need a different type of attention compared to low-mileage intercity short-haulers. Within the service contract, we design a maintenance plan based on the way each of your vehicles is driven.
There is a service contract for every need. In addition to our principal contracts there are several options for tailoring the coverage to suit your operation.
An all-inclusive solution with full maintenance and repair coverage.
Expert maintenance with individual service plans.
Volvo’s Gold Contract means peace of mind. Meticulous maintenance keeps your vehicle on the road and productive. And should repairs be needed, Volvo’s expert technicians will bring it back to mint condition. So your passengers will always have a fresh, reliable and comfortable journey.
The Gold Contract, gives maximum reassurance, reliability and uptime. It includes all necessary repairs of driveline chassis and body. The coverage does not include damage caused by incorrect or careless handling of the vehicle.
The maintenance programme includes over a hundred checks. In addition to the computer assisted diagnostics, your vehicle is visually inspected by a Volvo expert. The preventive maintenance covers the following areas:
• Lubrication, oil and fluids level check
• Brake system check
• Check of controls and driver’s station
• External functional check
• Engine compartment
• Front suspension
• Steering gear
