Hi,
I have a 1985 245ti that is now running in perfect condition! This is due to a great volvo repair shop. I swear they use magic on the cars. I have never ever found a repair shop that I trusted until now. A few weeks before I took my car to a different "Volvo repair shop" to fix a cooling problem. A week and $1200 later they didn't even fix it. They broke more than they fixed. I ended up fixing myself by replacing the fan clutch for $40. I was lied to and they had a non ASE certified mechanic do a head gasket on my car. They didn't even know the 240s had turbo models and they insisted I had a different than stock engine in the car. This made me loose all trust in repair shops. Then my neighbor with many volvos told me about another shop that he said did a great job. I didn't believe him becuase another friend told me that the other repair shop was the best in Albuquerque. I tried to make an appointment and The next open spot was three weeks away. When I got the car down there I noticed that the whole area was swamped with volvos. They seemed to have a lot of customers, and now I know why. They fixed my car in one day costing only $100. I had struggled with a starting problem for over a year and put up many posts on the brickboard. I had also spent a lot of money replacing random parts. I was shocked when they fixed it so quickly and cheaply. My car runs like it's NEW :) I'm so happy I have to share this joy with everyone on the brickboard.

P.S. If you live in Albuquerque, New Mexico Go to Independent Volvo Service becuase they are the best. Don't go to Jim's automotive becuase they screwed me!
