Struggle to find time to clean your car? Volvo comes to the rescue

The manufacturer is the first to offer a new app-based mobile valeting service.

Volvo is the first car manufacturer in Europe to introduce a new mobile valeting service.

Powered by a new app called Volvo Car Mobile Wash, the new service aims to provide complete convenience for Volvo owners who struggle to find the time to clean their cars themselves or take it elsewhere to be done.

In combination with GoWashMyCar – the UK’s largest car wash specialists – Volvo drivers can choose where and when they want their car to be valeted, while you don’t even have to be present with the car to lock and unlock it as this can be done remotely through the app once an operator arrives.

Packages can also include a car health check, too – covering checking tyre pressures, tread depths, screenwash, coolant levels and an exterior report for any damage.

With GoWashMyCar being a predominantly London-based car cleaning firm, initially the service will also be available to Volvo owners within the M25, though the Swedish manufacturer says it has plans to expand to further locations in the UK.

Mike Johnstone, Volvo Car UK’s marketing strategy director, said: “Working with the expert team at GoWashMyCar, we have designed this new service to be hassle-free for our customers and to provide them the kind of premium-quality valeting their car deserves. It is another example of how we can use the technology and peace-of-mind security of Volvo On Call to make life easier.”

Valeting prices start from £22 for an exterior wash, with a £39 mini-valet likely to be the most popular option.
