Also posted in the XC90 section:

Can anyone report any experiences of these guys good or bad?

I need a specialist that has a reasonable labour rate for diagnostics, full service, brakes a few other bits. Ideally located near Beds/Northants but not essential.

Thanks

I've used them in the past, head guy seems to know what he's doing. But I now use AT Autos also in Witney. Good rates and knows his way around Volvos. Andy the guy who owns it was the "A" in D&A Autos a until a few years back.

I should point out that I use these as I live in Witney, I am sure there are plenty good garages around more local to yourself too.

Yes, I found them to be very friendly and helpful. Analysed an ABS problem for free.

Yes, I've used them several times and I won't go anywhere else now. I've found them to be very good, with sensible rates (I think it's £50 ph at present) and a generous approach to applying the rate. Derek is the guy in charge. He is very knowledgeable and experienced, totally honest, helpful and generous - they've done smaller stuff for free for me too.

The attitude and approach to customers and their issues is always evident from a few questions over the phone. Derek was reassuring, knowledgable, offered good advice and importantly was also the cheapest.

Booked in for next week with a courtesy car to boot.

Also very happy to fit parts supplied by me (FRF

)

Thanks for the feedback guys.
