Yes, I bought my V70 from this guy. I live approx 3 miles from the garage and have heard many good reports about him. He does not give a guarantee but states 'his word is his bond'. Although this is not worth the paper it is not written on, my vehicle did develop a fault, he took it back and repaired it without any question. Also, my son-in-law bouight his T5 estate from him and he lived in Manchester at the time. Good service. I am always reluctant to sing praises of anyone, sods law - that if something can go wrong it will go wrong!!! You may buy the Saddam of all volvos and then come and throw bricks through my window. All I can say is my family have had no complaints. Good luck.

As a dealer he is required by law to offer a warranty, minimum, I believe of three months.

Having said that, those who have had problems with their purchase seem to have had things put right without any delay.
