I can recommend Squire Automotive Services in Burntwood ( Staffordshire )

Midlands Volvo Specialists
UNIT 2A ZONE 2 RING ROAD

BURNTWOOD BUSINESS PARK

BURNTWOOD

STAFFORDSHIRE

WS7 3JQ

TELL 01543 672247
squireautomotive@btconnect.com

Speak to Mark

They did my VVT pulley and cambelt yesterday - fair prices, genuine parts and Mark is a proper Volvo enthusiast.

I will definately be using them again for genuine parts and anything that is outside my basic mechanical abilities.

For those in the Great Yarmouth area I would highly recommend A Fordable cars over on south quay ( http://www.afordablecars.co.uk/en/ ).

I have used them for many years now for servicing, bodywork, tyres and MOT. Cracking service ... good pricing .. free car while they have yours and the bit I like .. good old fashioned customer service !

The spraying is excellent had my lexus done .. not the easiest one to do but immaculate job.

Will also fit parts that customer supplies .. quite rare around here !

Default Portsmouth or Waterlooville area?

Hi folks, new to Volvo ownership and new to the forum. Could anyone in the general Portsmouth area point me towards a reputable specialist please? I live just outside Waterlooville, but happy to travel a few miles for the right reasons.

Many thanks in advance.
