But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for Volvo below.

Let us call and talk to Volvo for you

Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.

We can get a live person on the line for you

That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.
GetHuman researchers routinely call this Volvo phone number to document the phone system.
Here is how our research team describes the way the Volvo phone system greets you: To speak to a product specialist, press 1. To speak to a customer care team member about your Volvo, press 2.
Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest: Press 0, ignoring messages.
Below are some clips we've found from Volvo's phone menus and tips that help give an idea of what you will encounter when you call. We've highlighted why they are important as well:

What are the hours and when should I call?

Volvo operates the call center for this 800-458-1552 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Tuesday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 119 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Volvo call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Volvo phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Volvo staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Volvo is Saturday. The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 77% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 119 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Wednesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Thursday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Volvo

In summation, the best day to call Volvo is Tuesday.

Calling this Volvo Customer Number

Christian Allen is the editor / author responsible for this content.
Nov 20, 2023

Calling Volvo's customer service number is relatively straightforward, as the menu is easy to deal with, and the wait time is virtually nothing. When I dialed this number, I was asked if I was calling for information about Volvo and Volvo dealers or if I needed customer support with my Volvo.

I pressed one for more information and was almost instantly connected to Gabriela, who thanked me for calling Volvo and asked how she could assist me. I told her that I was in the market for a vehicle and wanted to know where I might find a Volvo dealer near me.

She asked me what my ZIP Code was, and I told her 96804 for Honolulu. She took a moment to search and told me there was an authorized Volvo dealer in that area, Volvo Cars Honolulu. I thanked her for that information and asked her if there were any other options in the Honolulu area or elsewhere on Oahu.

She told me there was not, which would be my only option if I wanted to purchase a Volvo on Oahu. I asked her if she had the address for the dealer, and she told me that I could find it at 744 Ala Moana Blvd inĀ Honolulu. I asked if she had the hours that the dealer was open, and she said that she did not, but she could provide me with their phone number so I could find out for myself.

I said that would be great, and she told me I could call them atĀ (808) 432-9060. With no other questions left to ask, I thanked her for her assistance and information, and she thanked me for calling Volvo and wished me a nice day.

Overall, I thought this was a really simple call that made it very easy to get information. I had no issue getting connected to a representative; my wait time was virtually nonexistent, and I was able to get good, reliable information. The only issue I had at any point was having to repeat my ZIP Code when Gabriela said she couldn't hear me, but that's certainly not an issue with calling this number.

If I were in need of customer care from Volvo, I would definitely call this number for assistance. I found Gabriela to be quite friendly and helpful, and I had no issues navigating the menu or getting quality information. I can't say for certain how helpful this number is with more advanced issues, but based on the help I received here, I would guess that it's likely to be fairly useful.

Christian has been writing about long hold times and customer service call center experiences since 2010. He's been featured in Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal and the Boston Globe.

More Volvo Customer Service Contacts

There are of course other ways to contact Volvo customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.

Volvo Customer Email Addresses

custcare@volvocars.com - UK Customer Service
Customer service email address
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and Volvo will reply our your email.

Volvo Customer Help Desk / Web Support

volvo.custhelp.com - Customer Service
Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Volvo customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
