The Polestar story

Polestar traces its roots to Polestar Racing, a Swedish performance tuner long associated with Volvo. In 2017 it was relaunched as a standalone electric-performance brand under the joint ownership of Volvo Cars and China's Geely. Its first car, the limited Polestar 1 plug-in hybrid coupe, gave way to the high-volume Polestar 2 fastback, followed by the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 SUVs. Headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, Polestar designs premium electric vehicles built largely in China and sells them through a direct, online-focused sales model.

That heritage is exactly why Polestar owners tend to keep their cars for the long haul, and why staying on top of maintenance pays off. A Polestar that's looked after holds its value, drives the way the engineers intended, and rewards you with years of dependable service. The good news: you don't need a dealership to do it. DrivenMore puts a network of vetted local shops at your fingertips for everything from a routine oil change to a major repair.

Keeping your Polestar at its best

Every Polestar lives or dies by its routine care. The foundation is mechanical repair, oil changes, brakes, suspension and engine work, the routine care that keeps the miles trouble-free and heads off expensive breakdowns. Skip it and small issues snowball; keep up with it and a Polestar will happily run for years. Just as important is staying on top of your tires and wheels: fresh rubber, balancing and proper alignment for grip, shorter stopping distances and even tread wear that makes a set last longer. Together, those two are 80% of what keeps any Polestar safe and reliable near you.

Modern Polestar models are rolling computers, so when a warning light appears it pays to get proper diagnostics and electrical work rather than guessing at parts, reading fault codes and tracing electrical gremlins so a check-engine light becomes a fixed problem, not a guessing game. And because a Polestar is an investment, protecting how it looks matters too: car detailing keeps the paint and cabin fresh, paint protection and wraps shields the finish from the elements, and prompt auto glass service stops a tiny stone chip from becoming a full windshield replacement.

Life happens, too. If a parking-lot mishap leaves a mark, body shop and collision repair will make it right and protect your resale value. Worn seats or trim? interior and upholstery brings the cabin back. Want to add a backup camera, remote start or a better stereo? car audio and electronics handles it cleanly. And for the morning it simply won't start, towing and roadside assistance is a tap away. Whatever your Polestar needs, you can compare quotes from real local shops before you commit, no dealership markup, no guesswork.
