Let’s be honest—you spent a small fortune on your yacht. The last thing you want is to sit at the dock staring at the water because your engine isn’t running properly. That’s where certified technicians make all the difference.
- Factory Certification Matters
Certified technicians are factory-trained and work at authorized Volvo Penta service centers. They have the know-how to handle complex systems, and they use genuine parts and special factory tools to get it right the first time. - Access to VODIA—Volvo Penta’s Proprietary System
Non-authorized dealers don’t have the VODIA laptop, which is required to:- Check for error codes and engine diagnostics
- Update engine software
- Perform IPS alignments and other proprietary adjustments
Without this tool, many critical services simply can’t be performed, putting your yacht at risk for downtime.
- Service Bulletins & Campaigns
Certified technicians check your engine’s serial number for open service bulletins or campaigns, perform any necessary updates, and upload the service history to Volvo Penta’s global system. Wherever you travel, other authorized dealers can see exactly what’s been done. - Warranty & Resale Benefits
Service performed by certified technicians doubles your parts warranty to 2 years, including installation. And if you ever decide to sell your yacht, having a full record of authorized Volvo Penta service can improve its resale value. - Expertise & Specialization
Certified techs focus on your brand, not a dozen different makes. That means faster, more accurate repairs and fewer headaches for you on the water.
In short, using certified technicians means less downtime, peace of mind, and better protection for your yacht investment.
