Anyone know if either of the above recommended garages are still going strong?
I don't mind traveling a little bit for an approachable and down to earth garage to be honest - it's all about building trust.

Thanks in advance.

I can't recommend a specialist but I've been using M3 autos in Poole for a while. I mainly stick with them because they're cheap, but experienced and honest. Everywhere else Ive been to in bournemouth has robbed me blind.

##Am just on the phone to First Choice now off the back of this forum! Yes they are still operating, and seem to do a lot of work on Volvo's!

Just me that thinks they're rather rude?

Ha that’s funny, I’ve tried using them twice the first time my old 850 they ‘didn’t want to get involved’ doing the work I’d asked and been booked in for. Then my current xc70 they were so rude when I booked it in I just didn’t bother and went and spent the £1100 at nomansland specialists instead. They might be great but awful service, whereas nomansland could not have been more pleasant to deal with.

Nomansland isn't too far to be honest - anyone else have a good experience here?

It looks like I'll be heading to Poole for a service...
