Default Braydon motors

I was just looking around to see where I could obtain a V90 dog guard/cargo net and thought I'd try Braydons (Steve). I submitted my request on line, but then I saw the company is up for sale! Anyone with £100,000 to spare could put in an offer it seems!

A 50 mile drive for you, so not worth it unless you have several hours work to be done, and can hang around while it’s being done.

Be careful as I live in SW London, and some of the local indy prices are knocking on the door of the stealers. That’s why I take my car 25 miles down the M3 to have all my work done. A bit of a pain logistically, but not financially.
Hi

I'm not far from you. May I ask where in SW Surrey you take your car? I'm at the top of the M3 and looking for a decent, honest independent to take my Phase 1 V70 to.

Many thanks to you or anyone else who can help.

Many thanks

If Morden/Merton is not too far for you try DMW www.dmwcars.com. I can recommend them.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread.

I’ve just got my first Volvo (V50 2.4i 57plate), I’m looking for a garage in North London without much success. (Belts and service).

I have tried Swedish Motor Services and received an answer phone message on two separate numbers. Google is showing them as permanently closed, but I don’t know if this is confused by the move to Grange Road.
Does anyone have an update on this??

Ideally I’d prefer to go to a Volvo specialist, though any good local Indy recommendations would be welcomed.

Thanks!
