How To Find A Volvo Penta Dealer

Are you in the market for a new engine or are looking to have warranty work undertaken on your current motor? If so, it’s likely that you’ll be on the search for a local Volvo Penta dealer, but how on earth do you find one?

The best way to find a local company who can supply you with a new engine or with repairs is to visit the Volvo Penta website and make your way to the ‘dealer locator’ tool.

The first section is the product that you are searching for – a marine leisure engine, a marine commercial engine or an industrial engine. Then, the second section enables you to select the service that you require – such as hull repairs, an engine selling dealer, and so on.

Once you have located a certified Volvo Penta dealer who is able to provide you with the service that you require, you can go directly to their website (if they have one) or you can give them a call with the details provided. By going through the website, you can ensure that you only deal with a certified dealer and that you receive high quality products.
