Volvo Parts - OEM & Genuine Replacement Parts

The History of Volvo

Volvo was founded in 1927 as a subsidiary of the ball bearing manufacturer SKF. The name Volvo means ""I Roll"" in Latin in reference to the ball bearings as Volvo was originally supposed to be a premium line of SKF ball bearings however they were never released. The company was founded with a primary focus on safety which remains at the heart of its core today. Volvo cars have always had the reputation of being solid, safe and reliable however they always struggled with sales volume compared to other larger European car manufacturers and Asian car manufacturers. They almost merged with Renault and then Saab at one point but remained independent until 1999 when Volvo decided to sell its car division to Ford. Volvo had some great years with Ford early on up to about 2004-2005 where they peaked. While Ford pushed Volvo into becoming more of a luxury car brand, they starved them of R&D funding. Additionally the prices of the cars increased during hard economic times and Volvo didn't have any great lease deals or financing options. Car sales plummeted and it was then during the recession in 2010 that Ford was forced to sell off Volvo for 1.8 billion to the Chinese owned Geely. Geely has essentially acted as the ""Bank of Geely"" dumping billions of dollars into the company and more importantly letting Volvo be Volvo. Today your seeing impressive industry setting trends from the manufacturer giving the other key automakers a run for their money. The future is looking incredibly bright for Volvo considering their hard push to be one of the first in market to electrification and autonomous driving.

Volvo at FCP Euro

At FCP Euro our roots of selling Volvo replacement parts go back to the brick and mortar days in Groton. We chose Volvo because it sold and there was a large Volvo following in the Groton, CT area which forced us to have a large on hand inventory. We continued supporting the brand because it sold well and customers created the demand. As the years went by we all learned to appreciate Volvo, who they are, what they stand for, and what it means to the company. It's our grass roots. We stuck with it and were fortunate enough to be one of the larger eCommerce players in the Volvo scene early on in the game. Our Volvo online catalog manager, Jason VanGorden has spent the majority of his professional career with Volvo; he's a Volvo owner, enthusiast, has an extensive technical background and experience, and had achieved a Master technician status both within Volvo and ASE.

About Volvo Parts and Repair

Anyone who has owned a Volvo for any period of time knows, when it comes time for repairs, the Volvo engine can be an expensive to maintain. Just a basic oil and filter change with a tune-up can run as much as $150. If the front brakes need work the price jumps up to $400. How about a radiator replacement? Probably $600 to $700. Irrespective of whether the car is a wagon, sedan, or even the newer SUVs, Volvo repairs can be very pricey if owners dont pay attention to where the parts come from. Many of the related parts can be had at a licensed Volvo dealer, but customers end up paying through the nose for the same parts that can be had for much less from a reliable aftermarket supplier. Volvo's are notoriously known for PCV issues dating back to the red blocks all the way through current. The weakest points are anything rubber, for example, control arm bushings or upper spring seats. Brake components are naturally wear and tear items and require periodic replacement. FCP Euro stocks many of the same parts that Volvo dealers carry but at prices that are far more affordable for the car owners pocketbook. These replacement parts are high quality, either as OEM parts or aftermarket parts. More importantly, FCP Euros staff are ASE certified technicians, trained to understand your cars needs and to match up the right parts to the desired repair.
