Wholesale Parts Hub

At Volvo Cars, we take our parts seriously and want to share this information as to why. Volvo Genuine Parts work seamlessly together to form one safe, reliable, and premium vehicle designed to protect those inside.

Why Purchase Volvo Genuine Parts and not Aftermarket Parts?

Volvo Genuine Parts are designed for safety, structural integrity, optimal fit, and value. We are confident in the quality of Volvo Genuine Parts and stand by them with the Volvo Genuine Parts two-year warranty (US Only).

Why Genuine?

The standard of safety

• Awarded the most 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards of any manufacturer,* only Volvo Genuine Parts are designed to work specifically with the safety features in every Volvo Car. Volvo engineers design each component with safety in mind. It’s important to keep our cars as safe as they were when they left the Volvo factory.

Structural and Mechanical Integrity

• Everything from the suspension components to clips and screws are designed to have purpose. The materials are carefully chosen for peak performance under any condition. These superior materials ensure each component performs its job perfectly. In case of wear or repair, replacing Volvo Genuine Parts with aftermarket options may compromise the integrity of the repair or possibly the Volvo; the lesser quality and material type may result in squeaks, leaks, or other failures.

Perfect Fit

• Volvo Genuine Parts are designed to fit perfectly. The same parts you purchase at your local authorized Volvo retailer were used to build the Volvo. The fix is exact with no compromise. Avoid purchasing generic aftermarket parts that were designed to fit many car types without fit or quality in mind.

Value

• Volvo Cars manufactures cars and parts globally allowing for production-based volume savings. Because we have economies of scale, we can extend the savings to you through fair pricing while maintaining original uncompromised quality.

Make the right choice by only using Volvo Genuine Parts

Battery

Today’s Volvos have over 60 electrical systems and components, often requiring power at the same time. Volvo Genuine Batteries are designed around the specific power consumption and charging capability of Volvo electrical systems.

Facts

• Genuine Volvo Genuine Batteries are manufactured from materials sourced without the use of child labor.
• Volvo Genuine Batteries are and are built to last and tested in some of the world’s harshest climates.
• Every Volvo’s power consumption requirement differs. Using Volvo Genuine Batteries ensures the Volvo has the correct battery with the proper power output to support all onboard systems.

Brake Pads

Developed and tested to work in harmony with Volvo’s sophisticated braking system together with Volvo Genuine Brake Discs making sure that the Volvo stops at the right moment in all types of road conditions.

Facts

• Not all brake pads are the same. Brake pads are manufactured from a variety of materials which can impact the stopping distance of a vehicle. Volvo Genuine Brake Pad materials are carefully selected to work together with the rest of the sophisticated brake system.
• “City Safety” has a safety feature that automatically applies brake force to slow down or stop the Volvo. The function is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary intervention. The timing is precisely calibrated to Volvo Genuine Brake Pads to stop the Volvo at the proper time or distance.
• Using Volvo Genuine Brake Pads will help ensure proper functionality of the braking system.

Brake Discs

Developed and tested as a crucial component of Volvo’s sophisticated braking system, Volvo Genuine brake discs in harmony with Volvo Genuine Brake Pads, are designed to stop the Volvo at the appropriate time in any road condition.

Facts

• Brake Discs are one of the most important parts of a vehicle’s safety. Their quality directly impacts the stopping capability of a vehicle.
• Volvo Genuine Brake Disks are made of a high-quality durable material allowing them to perform optimally in sync with Volvo Genuine Brake Pads and Volvo’s sophisticated braking system.

Cabin Air Filter

Ensures a healthy in-car environment for the occupants by collecting more particles than some of the aftermarket options.

Facts

• Not all filters are created equal. They may look similar, but their material density and surface area aren’t. If the material is too dense, air flow is weakened losing efficiency and causing possible damage to the air conditioning or heating system. If the material is too thin, the filtration is weakened. A precise filtration material is needed for the best performance.
• Filter fit can make or break its purpose. If the air filter doesn’t fit properly, air can flow around it essentially making the filter useless. The fit must be exact! Always remember that Volvo Genuine cabin air filter will fit exactly right and provide the cleanest air for the cabin.

Engine Air Filter

Offers superior filtration efficiency and promotes proper airflow to protect the Volvo's engine against premature wear.

Facts

• Engines have extremely tight tolerances and are sensitive to foreign debris. Having a tight seal around the air filter combined with the proper filtration material will allow for the engine to get the airflow efficiency necessary. This will allow for optimal fuel economy and prolonged engine life.
• Aftermarket engine air filters are often made from less durable materials. In most cases, they compromise fit and material quality, which are both critical to the filter’s functionality.
• Volvo Cars tests and tunes all engines using only Volvo Genuine Engine Air Filters. The airflow and filtration that Volvo Genuine Filters provide will help the engine to perform to its maximum capability.

Oil Filter

Keeping oil free of unwanted debris and particles can help prevent premature engine wear and ensure the engine performs as designed. All Volvo engines are tested exclusively with Volvo’s proprietary blend of Castrol™ EDGE™ Oil together with Volvo Genuine Oil Filters. Ensure the Volvo has the best protection possible.

Facts

• Volvo Genuine Oil Filters are made from a specific material that allows for proper oil flow and collects debris particles which can damage the engine's inner workings if not entrapped. Other filters can't guarantee the Volvo engine will work as efficiently as it should with a Volvo Genuine Oil Filter.

Tires

Volvo takes great care to work with tire manufacturers to ensure the specs live up to the highest standards for performance and safety. Make sure to source tires from an authorized Volvo Retailer to ensure that the Volvo is uncompromised.

Facts

• When a Volvo is tested, its stability control system and braking systems are tested with a specific type of tire that is carefully picked by Volvo engineers.
• Having the correct tire on a Volvo is important to the vehicle’s stability in certain road conditions and its ability to stop.
• Purchasing tires from an authorized Volvo retailer is simple, easy, and provides the best value.

Wiper Blades

Volvo Genuine Wiper Blades ensure a clean streak-free Volvo windshield.

Facts

• Volvo Genuine Wiper Blades are designed to fit the exact size and curvature of the windshield.
• Certain Volvo Genuine Wiper Blades are specially designed to deploy windshield washer fluid through a series of holes along the edge of the blade. This is designed to minimize glare when cleaning the windshield.
• Volvo Genuine Wiper Blades are designed around the exact Volvo for which they are intended. A couple of examples:
  • They are designed to keep pressure on the wipers while at highway speeds to ensure maximum contact.
  • The size and shape of the blades are directly correlated with the size and shape of the Volvo windshield. Aftermarket blades are designed in generic sizes.

Volvo Cars has been remanufacturing spare parts since the 1940s because it is a sustainable approach – better than recycling, in fact. Compared with a newly made part, a remanufactured component saves up to 85 percent in raw materials and consumes up to 80 percent less energy – significantly reducing CO2 emissions. During the process the part is upgraded to the latest version of that component. Once a part has been remanufactured to meet high quality and safety standards, it enters the Volvo Cars Parts Exchange System – continuing its lifecycle, reducing the environmental impact.
