Looking for a Volvo only repair shop or experiences with the
volvo dealer in town. thank you.

I'd recommend coming to Durham to get any repairs done, the shops in Chapel Hill all charge a fortune! I take my two 240's to Absolute Automotive, been going there for years, I hear they've got the best prices around, and I know they do good work. Becker is also supposed to be good (Also in Durham) but expensive. Anyhow, give Absolute a try, I think you'll be pleased.

I've had very good service out of Reeve-Smith in Raleigh off of Capital Blvd. But, like the other place, you pay for good service.

Forgot to add that Reeve-Smith is a Volvo repair shop with loaner cars, they do not sell - only fix.

Bradberry Volvo Services in Raleigh is excellent, though you will not pay discount prices.

Hi Kevin:
The shops section of the brickboard and Swedishbricks have a listing for Absolute Automotive, a shop which specializes in Audi, Volkswagon and Volvo.

I don't think that the Volvo dealers (Crown or Weaver Bros) have any unusual distinction in the repair area. I understand that the original owners of Weaver Brothers opened an independent shop when they sold the business, but I can't locate their information. I think they were good, as well.

Hope this helps.

Mike
