“Right first time in Time”
As Volvo sales and service volumes
increase and our vehicles become
more complex, it is more important
than ever, that our service facilities
keep pace with customer
expectations.
The Volvo workshop plays a
critical role in the ownership
experience. This experience can
often be dictated by the actions and
capabilities of the service facility.
It is critical that our shops have
the latest tools and equipment
available.
Having a clean, well-lit environment with state of the art equipment will enable the technicians to
perform cost efficient repairs and fault tracing that will support the fix right - first time - in time
(FRFTIT) goal.
For optimal efficiency, it is essential your technicians have the best equipment available when they need
it. Generally, tools and equipment should be located in a dedicated area and in such condition that they
can be put to use in less than 2 minutes.

including safety glasses, gloves and
ear protection, to name a few.
In order to meet this challenge, the
Volvo Dealer Equipment program
provides you with one-stop access
to many name brand equipment
manufacturers and suppliers,

Special Tools Bulletin 002
Below is a general list of equipment that every workshop should have. It is not intended to be all
inclusive, but it does highlight specific equipment that Volvo considers mandatory for every workshop to
have.
Some tools are classified as “Volvo Special Tools” and are available outside the program.
They are listed here to illustrate the importance of having them available.
Ordering of equipment couldn’t be easier. The Volvo Dealer Equipment program enables retailers to buy
workshop equipment through Bosch and have it billed directly to the monthly parts statement.
* (US only). This enables you to better budget the cost of higher priced items.
