Dealer recommendation DMW

Lion1966 · Sep 28th, 2017, 16:06

Hello all
Probably a long shot but has anyone had any dealings with DMW Volvo specialists in SW London?
I’m looking at getting some work done on my 01 S60 but know nothing about them.

Try finding an independent specialist.About £40 an hour cheaper just on labour charges alone.

Thanks.They are independent but I’ve not heard anything about them. I was hoping someone had used them in the past.
My local area, Croydon, hadn’t got many garages willing to deal with Volvo electrical problems.

Hello Lion,

Yes I have used DMW both for my last service (10 yr ) and for an unexpected diagnostic and rectification work which was necessary in a hurry when an ABS warning light came up.

For both occasions the work was done well, thoroughly, and it inspired confidence in them.

Perhaps not the cheapest of independents in that their labour charge is around £80 to 90/hr BUT they do have full VIDA and lots of experience, so they won't take as long on the task as others.

They are particularly good on air conditioning systems.

Thanks Andy G. I’ll give them a go and see how I get on. Martin

Any feedback? I'm thinking of using them too, strange there seems to be no mention of them anywhere in this forum.
