![]() Volvo announced a complimentary roadside assistance program for all Volvos today, past, present and future. Seems handy.

![]() It would have been a good time to pitch their genuine classic parts for the older discontinued models. Oh well.

![]() I'm sure this "free" tow will be more than compensated with the receiving dealership fixes whatever ailed it.
"Just a bad fuse.......that will be $400."

![]() 25 miles? sheesh.... Just insure with Hagerty if it's not your daily. Free towing there too. Except they'll take it back to your house. Not the stealership.

![]() ![]() Upgrade to their platinum or gold service (can't remember what rare metal they use) and you get 120 miles towing for all of your vehicles. |

![]() Compounded by my sarcasm, I also have a deeply justified lack of faith in just about any new marketing "trend" Volvo decides to try these days. Volvo has a habit of "remaking" themselves into something different every few years, kinda like a flag in the wind, only slower. So please let me be the first to predict this program will vaporize after a few years.

The marketing is on point though. Relatives have sent me the tow for life article because the saw it in the news. So if Volvo's goal is to get the average person more reasons to buy a volvo, its working. Hell, if the tow limit wasn't 25 miles, I'd be happier and more confident about driving my wagon around where wagons don't belong... |
