I highly recommend Motogo in Beverley, near York. I just had my v70 2.5tdi in to have a new cambelt water pump and tensioner, oil change, filter, and brake pads. The chap who runs the place, Johnathan, worked at a volvo main dealer for a good number of years and is very helpful. Im not local to the garage so they gave me a lift into town and collected me when it was complete. The chap also fitted me a new fuel filter for free which I thought was pretty nice. All in for cambelt, diesel pump belt, water pump, tensioner and front and rear brake pads, all genuine Volvo, £550 inc VAT fitted which I thought in relation to another nameless specialist who wanted in the region of £700 just for the belt work is pretty damn good. They can be contacted on 01482881171, ask for Johnathan

Good independants within M25?
Anyone got any recommendations for a good indie inside the M25, preferably in South East London?

Another recommendation for VMS. After being shocked by main dealer prices I had to look for a volvo specialist near Newbury/Oxford. VMS was the only volvo specialist I could find. I am glad I went there as they are friendly and helpful and prices are more than reasonable. They've also got VIDA.

Non Franhised Garages
Hi Everyone
I have a 1993 Vovlo 940 Estate and I live in St Austell in Cornwall. I have not received very good service from my local franchised Volvo dealer who does not see keen to work on the car because of its age. I've had a look at the non franchised garages list but the nearest is in Penzance which is quite a distant from me. I was wondering if anyone knows of a reliable non franchised garage/individual more local to St Austell. ? Thanks John |

Reliable garage in London area
I will shortly move to London. I have a 9 years old XC70, up to now always serviced by the Volvo dealer. London dealer prices are too expensive for me. Can somebody recommend an independent garage?
Many thanks. Jos |

Independent garages in Sale, Manchester - any feedback?
Friend of mine lives in Sale, Manchester and their V70 (2.4 n/a 170) needs some care and attention.
Anyone got any reports about either of these two facilities: Cross Street Garage, Sale (on the list of non-franchise garages but no feedback I can find) or INDEPENDENT VEHICLES LIMITED, Unit 3, Manway Business Park , off Canal Road, Timperley (not on any list but friends had found them by chance and they do have a small website http://www.independentvltd.co.uk/). Both are close buy and convenient for them. Most recent service was apparently done at Kwik-Fit (!!). Other than that they were thinking of going to the main dealership in Warrington. I know there's the likes of Hallmark in Stockport but they really need someone more local to them if possible. Thanks
