Time for the Tow bar
 

After all my huffing and puffing about which tow bar to fit to my MY21 V90 CC I decided go down the Volvo fitted semi- electric kit. Has anyone had any luck getting any discount from the Volvo main dealers or am I wasting my time even asking. The car is going back to the dealer I purchased the car from a couple of weeks ago.

Cheers Roy

I would be looking at 10% discount from the dealer you bought the car from, make sure they are aware you purchased the car from them and ask for 10% as that is the usual parts discount.

Let me know how you get on please - I'm after one of these too!

Thank you

Marshall’s Volvo give 20% off if your a Volvo owners club member. It will cost you £35 to join but will more than pay for itself. 2p/L off at Shell too as a VOC member.

Will do Stodgy

Or price match the parts with TMS:

and ask the dealer to match the parts price (and give 10% off the labour of course).

Or you could buy the kit from TMS and then pay the dealer to fit it?

TMS seem to give a straightforward 20% off everything. They had a bit of a wobble recently when they migrated to a new phone and email system and everything went into meltdown but my experience has otherwise been very good. Genuine bits sent out very quickly and at a great price.

My dealer said that they simply couldn't match the prices, but were happy for me to supply the bits and they would fit them, which is what I have done for the Disks and pads on both cars recently.

Thanks Philip, Looked at the site and some nice stuff there, but unfortunately, they don't seem to do the electric tow-bar I was after. Thank for the reply thou. Roy

Might be worth ringing on Monday. In my experience they can get anything that a dealer can (because they are in fact part of a main dealer group.......)

Quite a few clubs get 10% off at Marshall’s

Don't know if a fixed towbar is of any interest to you, but i am selling a genuine fixed towbar and aftermarket electrics which just plug straight into 2 plugs in the boot. No coding needed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144187096245
I managed to fit in approx 2-3 hours, and removal was similar time.
