Why not, Derek? The parts are supplied by the same Braydon staff, and although now called Trust Car Parts and based upstairs at Sentinel, the service is really no different from the Braydon days. Bear in mind that you probably won't find two better volumes of old Volvo knowledge than Steve and Bob, and they were with Braydon forever.

This morning I bought a new rad. and heard from Steve about the dwindling used parts sources and the decline in experienced old Volvo mechanics - mostly because they're retiring - and while TCP are still in business I reckon we should support them.

Good news is that if you took a 940 for work at Sentinel downstairs they'll charge a lower rate - about £65 + VAT - than for a new Volvo, and they still have the experience to do the job.
