Winter landscapes can bring beauty and delight. Also exciting opportunities for skiing, sledging and ice skating. But before you get out there and make the most of the winter wonderland, you'll need to make sure your car's equipped to deal with the slopes and ice.
That's why we devised the Volvo Winter Check. It's a 25 point to-to-toe check to ensure your car's prepared for the months ahead. It costs just £30 and we'll clean it inside and out. There's also complimentary in-car Safety Kit*, just to make sure you're equipped for everything winter brings.
PREPARE FOR WINTER
Car and pedestrian accidents peak in October and November coinciding with darker evenings and deteriorating weather conditions. Ice, snow, wind, rain, fog and the dark environment all contribute to hazardous driving conditions. That’s why RoSPA advises you to “check your lights and brakes and have your car serviced for the winter”.** Nearly half (48%) of all winter accidents are caused by
skidding, so make sure your tyres are in good condition.***
A Volvo Winter Check pays attention to every aspect of winter driving including thorough checks of your external lights and tyres.
