Default Newbie question; Independent volvo specialist in Suffolk ?

Is there a good Independent volvo specialist in Suffolk or east Anglia ? Always prefer this over a main stealer. As just bought an r design 2.4 xc60 for the mrs.

No possibility to post it publicly? I mean others are interested to (like myself in case of issues when back home).

I didn't post publicly only because he's not specifically Volvo. He's a one-man band (ex Mercedes, I believe), whom I've used for several years for all my cars. He's usually booked well in advance for work, and there's only one of him.

I just thought it a bit unfair to name him, since the original question was about a Volvo Independent, which he isn't, really. But if anyone's in East Suffolk, drop me a line & I'll pass his details on. Nothing secret!

Tim.

Hello

While not Suffolk, (and I've never been there myself) I've heard nothing but praise for Wrights in Attleborough.

Default Volvo independent in East Suffolk

Kings of Witcham (near Ely) are pretty good in my experience. They were a Volvo dealer who lost their franchise. (Almost) a main dealer experience at reduced costs.

Hi, I'm in Woodbridge and the heater on my 2009 XC60 has gone out of calibration. Always blows hot air out of drivers side. Can someone send me the independent for this area. Main dealer are too expensive
Thanks
