Specialist wanted Wakefield /Barnsley
Hi guys - mounted the kerb and demolished a bollard a couple of weeks ago doing about 15mph (turning off a B Road onto a country lane during the last cold snap)
Didn't appear to be any immediate visible damage but since then I noticed damp patch on a morning an losing coolant at about a litre a week and car started pulling to the left over the last week or so and the passenger side tyre wearing quickly so a visit to a garage needed pronto. I've checked this thread and the list and apart from the Leeds Kirkstall recommendation a couple of posts above (just a bit too far away) I found two more local alternatives and wondered if anyone had any experience http://www.gtechvolvospecialists.com/ http://www.prestigeservice.co.uk/car...lvo-servicing/ Or if you have any other recommendations they will be gratefully received Thanks

After owning 3 Volvo estates as company cars, many years later I have just purchased a 06 V70 2.4 manual , and I would like to get a service done reasonably locally at an independent , London main dealers charge eye-watering prices.
On the list of non-franchised garages is Delacourt Motors in Blackheath who are within walking distance, but they are a small generalist operating from very small premises, and would hesitate to go there unless I was really sure they would do a good job. I looked at Swedish Motor Services in East London, and although a specialist in Volvo and Saab, they are a one person band in even smaller premises. This website for GSF in Battersea came up http://www.gsfmotorworks.com/car-ser...nd-repair.html does anyone know them? Do you have any other recommendations for this area (SE London/N Kent) Thanks for your help Andy |

Formula Cars, Wellington, Somerset.
I posted about these guys a while ago when they looked after my 850, since then I purchased a V50 D5 R Design from them a couple of years ago and they have been brilliant, a few months ago I had total electrics melt down through a broken sunroof drain pipe and they sorted it really well making the sure the car was properly dry and when I got it back not a hint of damp, and a free loan car for the duration (two weeks) all very reasonably priced too seeing the car was out of warranty. Today cam-belt change and as usual all done on time and to the price quoted, praise where praise is due very good service from these boys.

I wanted to put in a good word for Ron Sealey in Cowdenbeath. Just got off the phone to Mark there who was very patient, informative and helpful regarding a "software error" coming up after an engine diagnostics at my local garage in West Lothian and with the terrible starting issues I'm having with my 2005 2.0D S40. If I need any future work doing that cannot be done at my local garage where I get my servicing done and will drive straight past Murray Volvo in Edinburgh (long story) to go up and see Ron Sealey.
So I'd like to recommend them, without having even having gone to them. Purely based on their help over the phone. |

Looking for a reliable independent garage in Cornwall.
Reluctant to use the main dealer again after my car was left with a dangerous fault. |

South West Holbrook Garage
Anybody in the South West looking for a garage to work on their Volvo should definitely make a visit to Holbrook garage in Bisley.
I found them, they fitted a ported cylinder head, an Aquamist water meth injection kit and new piston rings on my R. The labour rates are silly money and they really have done a really superb job. After the job was completed I noticed a minor oil leak(oil return pipe), I rang them and they took the car back in and sorted it out immediately with no quibble or charge. Excellent service! They definitely 'know' Volvos! I also liked they were happy to let me stay in the workshop while they worked on my car. Too few garages like this anymore, and they definitely deserve a huge shout out. Ask for Roger if you ring them, he's the Volvo chap. |
