Depends whether you want to travel a bit....I tend to use the Leicester-based http://www.sheffieldandmeredith.com (on account of living in Leicester!).

They have always been solid enough for me, and a chunk cheaper than the main dealer....

More locally for you, I have no idea whether https://volsaaengineering.com are decent?
A bit further south (but not as far as Leicester) I can see http://www.hallamandsuthernssaabservices.co.uk ?

Speak to Claytons of Mansfield.

They are a main dealer but only a service centre. They're usually a lot cheaper than other main dealers

As my son in law has now purchased the v60 ,he is arranging to take it to the garage for them to advise on belt conditions and give it a quick once over..

I have been using David Pengelly Autocare for the last 3 Volvo's I have owned. They are in Nottingham and always do a great job for me. https://dpanottingham.co.uk/

Default Manchester options?

Can I cheekily piggy-back on this thread, please, to ask if anybody has any recommendations for a Volvo specialist (or recommended general service garage) in the South or West of Manchester, ideally within a 10 mile radius of the city or thereabouts?
