Volvo supports Voluntary Mechanic Certification by the N.I.A.S.E.
Certified mechanics have demonstrated a high degree of competence in specific areas. Besides passing
exams, each mechanic must also have worked in the field for two or more years before a certificate is
issued. These professional mechanics are fully able to analyze vehicle problems and perform the
necessary service procedures to keep your Volvo at peak operating condition.
Note! The above pertains to USA only.
