I think it is safe to assume that the individual was talking mince (local term for $h1te).....

I have used a garage in Linlithgow for the last 20ish years for my Volvos.... I think there may be a couple of Swedish specialists in Edinburgh... but I don't know their work....

Hi mate,

As everyone else has said it is rubbish, I have just had my S60 T5 into a local indy this morning - very good job they do as well, if you are looking for a place near you have you checked out any sites such as www.goodgaragescheme.co.uk here you will find local indy garages in your area who have reviews left by customers, you could use that to help on your way to finding one you like the look of and then call the garage to see if they can work on your car.

Cheers
Ross
