I’m on the cusp of buying a new T5 xc40. My local dealership has sent through a number of insurance options. Of those offered, the only one that piqued my interest was the “Smart Repair” £499 option which lasts 3 years.

Has anyone any experience of this add on from Volvo, or are there any others that do represent good value?

Also, they do. 5 years servicing for £599 upfront. Again, VFM? We tend to do 8-10K mileage a year.
Thanks folks

The servicing offer is a no-brainer - assuming you are planning to keep the car for 5 years.

Totally agree re service. They used also to do a 3 year one for £399 which I have (don't know whether they still do) its brilliant and a great saving. Even included the Adblu top up although that's not relevant on new cars.

Meant to add that I'd probably avoid the smart repair at £499. I had one from VW and it was just a deal with a smart repair franchise with restrictions on size of repair. Repair only as good as franchisee and probably only costs £100/150 a go if you haven't got the add on. So you need a few repairs to get your money back.

Get a service plan, nothing else.
