Volvo has been undergoing a complete brand makeover, rolling out innovative designs such as the XC40 and the S40 concepts. Volvo has had 10 consecutive months of double digit sales growth and YTD sales are up 22.7%. This is all before the new and highly anticipated S90 hits the market this summer. Volvo is focusing on the needs of urban millennials who are looking for an alternative to more mainstream luxury brands.


Dealer Service Solutions is also riding high with a 200% increase in business over the last 3 years. “Our administrative partners have been a huge reason for our success” said Powers. “They continue to support our creativity in the field by allowing us to customize individual programs for our dealers. Having the ability to be flexible with various F&I products allows our dealers to target their core customer base and their individual needs offered in the F&I departments.” This partnership should provide both Dealer Service Solutions and the Volvo retailers the ability to prosper in the F&I area and continue their tremendous growth.”
