If anyone needs a good Volvo Independent in Northants, try Avalon Cars on outskirts of Wellingborough (tel: 01933 674419). Nick Fisher and his team are reliable, honest and really know their Volvos (have worked for Volvo dealers in past), their labour rate is fair (possibly not the absolute cheapest but no more than half the price of some main dealers). He has the VIDA software and is able to access the upgrades and TJs etc. Is VAT registered so will stamp your service book and pays to have the Volvo service sheets to give to his customers as well as using genuine Volvo parts. All of this to me shows that he cares about the cars and the service he provides. Have trusted my S60 D5 (now my partner's car) to him for last 5 or 6 services, plus some other work (cambelt when it was due plus the usual S60 issues such as engine mounts and suspension mounts etc). Always spot on with diagnosing faults and always explains any problems and will make sure you are happy before going ahead with any work. Am lucky enough to have a newish XC90 that as soon as it is out of the 3 year warranty and £300 service deal will go to him for servicing.
