Johnsons Volvo

[warthog]

I too use Johnson's in Gloucester for all genuine Volvo parts and their spares dept. are excellent, very helpful and absolutely faultless parts delivery service (post or courier).

Johnsons of Gloucester were always my first choice, but Johnsons of Worcester weren't bad either, although not as friendly and eager to help as the Glos branch. (Measured in degrees of helpfulness rather than unhelpfulness, if you see what I mean).
Cheers.

why cant all maindealer be like these guys..
