Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) opened its second North American Volvo Certified Used Center at Alta Equipment Co. in New Hudson, Mich. It joins the initial VCU Center at Arnold Equipment of Las Vegas. Several additional centers are slated to open later this year at dealerships across North America.
By partnering with its dealer network, Volvo CE is providing customers with quality pre-owned machines in one of the fastest-growing segments of the construction equipment market.
At these centers, off-lease Volvo equipment undergoes a rigorous 140-plus point inspection, is refurbished to OEM standards using genuine parts, all factory updates completed, and packaged with additional coverages to become Volvo Certified Used.
“Our Certified Used program is the best way to ensure you know exactly what you’re purchasing when investing in a used machine,” said Ryan Sherwood, vice president, retail development at Volvo CE. “This gives the customer a machine with lower total cost of ownership over its lifecycle and confidence that it can withstand the most demanding jobs.”
The certified machines also come with a one-year free subscription to ActiveCare Direct telematics service and qualify for Volvo’s lifetime frame warranty. VCU machines are also eligible for financing through Volvo Financial Services.
The range of used equipment includes Volvo articulated haulers, excavators and wheel loaders. All Volvo Certified Used equipment can be viewed online, including the complete 140-plus point inspection reports, at volvousedce.com.
