Default Servicing Near Me

Hi,

Sorry if this is the wrong place. I'm a fairly new owner to a 2013 V60 which has a full Volvo service history. At 103k miles I don't think its worth my while to maintain the dealership history as the cost is prohibitive.

Would anyone be able to recommend a Volvo specialist near Swindon/Oxford?

I had a look on the search but am either not using it right or just cant find anything helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Horton Cars in Oakley, Bucks.

They're just on the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border.

(Not quite Swindon/Oxford.)

Very knowledgeable and very reliable.

As a family, we've bought six Volvos from them and they service both my V70 and my wife's V60.

They also provide courtesy cars.

That's a great help, thank you. It is about an hour for me so if anyone has similar recommendations, please keep them coming. Otherwise it'll be going to Horton Cars!

I haven’t used Horton yet but they’ve got great reviews. Once my warranty is up I’m might start using them myself.

I would also recommend Horton Cars, Graham and his team are really knowledgeable and prices are very fair. They are servicing my 2017 V60 next week.
