Best volvo repair shop in Ottawa, Canada S70

I haven't heard anything bad about Adria, but I have been taking our 740 and now 940 to Wally Becker's for ten years. Some good things about Becker's:

1. They actually support the home mechanic with advice and (limited) parts sales
2. Very slow turnover of mechanics - still the same guys after all this time
3. Source parts from a variety of places, and usually at least suggest the very best quality and offer some alternatives if price and/or projected life of the car is an issue.
4. Generally they are looking at your business over the next few years, not just today. That's good.
5. Always safety, reliability, performance, in that order.

Becker's doesn't do internal transmission work or wheel alignments, but they can arrange it.

As for dealers, I have found the parts guys at Carling to be OK. I can't say about service, I NEVER get cars serviced/fixed at dealerships. But - the most sophisticated car I've ever had is the 940, dirt simple compared to a new Volvo!

I have no experience with St. Laurent Volvo.
