Volvo Introduces Lifetime Towing

Getting stuck on the road with a car that won’t run is never fun. Neither is trying to find someone to tow your vehicle to the shop. But Volvo’s trying to make it a little less painful.

Last week, Volvo announced Tow for Life, a new program under which Volvo owners are eligible for a free tow to the nearest Volvo dealer within 25 miles. According to Repair Driven News, “the service ‘works alongside’ Volvo’s new Accident Advisor platform that recommends certified body shops to consumers after Volvo detects a crash via telematics. Accident Advisor also is available on older Volvos, though the customer must call Volvo to request assistance.”

Volvo already offers free towing, for collisions or mechanical failures, during the standard four-year new car warranty. Tow for Life will kick in when the warranty expires.
