The people of Swindon can now purchase and service their cars in style with the launch of a refurbished, multi-million-pound Volvo showroom.

Waylands Volvo Swindon new five-million-pound refurbishment features Volvo’s signature lounge area, complete with luxurious Scandinavian furniture.

The team say customers can relax, enjoying Swedish cakes while their car is looked after, or can work while they wait with the free Wi-Fi.

The attention to detail includes an interior viewing window that allows customers to see all activity in the new workshops from – what is said to feel like – the comfort of their own living room.

Helping combat the climate emergency and ahead of Volvo’s commitment to become a fully electric car maker by 2030, the retailer’s new home also features electric charging points, for Volvo’s growing range of electric vehicles.

The showroom displays the latest range of Volvo cars, including the pure electric XC40 and plug-in hybrids, as well as a wide range of Volvo Selekt Approved Used models. More than 100 checks ensure these Approved Used cars are not just safe but perform to the highest standards thanks to the latest Volvo parts and software.

The retailer also offers a streamlined service to car owners which halves waiting times.

The Volvo Personal Service sees the same technician liaising with the customer from the point of booking, right through to explaining the services – which they themselves have carried out. Two technicians work together on each car, reducing the time it takes for the service to be fulfilled.

John O’Hanlon, CEO at Waylands Volvo Swindon, said:  “We are delighted to be in our new state-of-the-art Volvo showroom.

“With petrol and diesel cars slowly becoming a thing from the past, we’ve ensured our new sustainable facility is future-ready, with a number of electric vehicle charging points and a range of plug-in hybrid models to choose from – plus the pure electric XC40 and brand-new C40 – alongside a selection of petrol and diesel cars."
