Volvo started the program in order to lower debt for new auto service technicians.
Aug. 24, 2020—Volvo Car USA and its retail partners announced the Volvo Technician Tool Program.
According to a press release, this new program can help reduce more than $20,000 in student debt and eliminates the need for new auto service technicians to invest in their own pricey tools. Historically, such tools have been a mandate to secure employment with a new car retailer.
In addition to paying for an education and certification, auto service technicians are also expected to have their own tools in order to secure employment with a name-brand new car retailer, with a professional toolset and tool box costing up to tens of thousands of dollars.
Volvo Car USA is providing technicians with free and permanent access to a 72-piece set from Wurth Tools with hand and cordless tools to perform more than 80 percent of the jobs they will encounter at a certified Volvo Car Service Center.
Volvo Car USA announced the program to retailers on June 24.
