Back after a hiatus, looking for a mechanic in NYC 200 1991

I started driving a 1978 242, then owned a 1981 245 and a 1986 745 GLE. After a brief detour to a Porsche Boxster (gasp!), I am now back in a nice 1991 Burgundy 240 sedan with 120k. Whew!

I plan on posting a couple questions that are emerging with this car, and probably purchasing a few of the books out there. But right now, the most valuable information I could use is a recommendation on a service shop in Manhattan. The Volvo dealer seems to only vaguely recall that 200's still exist.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I know of a mechanic named Wes Henderson in lower manhattan. He is very good with American as well as foriegn cars,used to work for Rolls Royce. He also has a collection of cars including a 262c,MG,Bently, etc.The only quirk is he is only open in the afternoon til late evenings,no morning hours!His cell number is 347-992-4305. Very Honest person. Tell him you were referred by Nelson. Good luck.

Welcome back!

As Invar said, good luck in Manhattan...

I can recommend a Volvo-only guy in Clifton, NJ... pretty convenient from Lincoln Tunnel or GWB, and they'll put you on/fetch you from a bus from Port Authority:

Rawbear Performance
973-478-6586

The guy (Robert) is a little eccentric, but he knows what a 240 is! I've had a great experience so far & rates are very reasonable.

YIPES!!! the big city.

For little misc. problems, take a ride out East on Long Island and we can tinker with it.

Finding a place IN Manhattan is going to be ridiculously difficult. Hope you're willing to travel out into the other boroughs.

The place I go to is in Queens (Flushing) and is called Pace Auto. Proprietor is named Jack. 718-886-2550 They're not Volvo specialists, but they deal with a lot of different vehicles. It's a Chinese auto place.
