Independent Volvo Servicing
I have come over from the dark side...Just sold my third Saab, a 95 estate with 144000 on the clock, sad to see it go but happy with its replacement...
2016 Volvo V70 D3 auto estate. Does anyone know of a good independent Volvo specialist near Newbury? I do most of my own maintainance but these cars are quite hi tech now and I'm sure to need someone to help at some point. Thanks |

The chap in Wantage has retired and his son now runs the business.
They no longer specialise in Volvos. The list of independents from VOC is good though, I will try here next... |

A 35 mile drive for you, but I've used Camberley Independent Volvo Centre for the last 5 years and they have been very good, and labour is reasonable too for the SE (£50+vat IIRC)
www.civc.co.uk I make the 35 mile drive to the from London to avoid the £100++ per hour labour charge which is typical in and around the capital |

Nomansland Volvo Garage near Salisbury is very, very good. Their forte are the V70 T5/D5 cars, FWD, even did my 240 for a few bits.
