Quick question! Im up here in Bellingham, WA and this place is Volvo central! You cant go anywhere in the county, much less west of the Cascades without seeing 10-20+ 200's and 700's trundling along daily. So... Im still learning to do much more than the most basic tune up work and just wanted to know about our local shops, as I know I've seen a few Bellinghamsters around here. The only 3 Volvo / European car specific shops I know of are:

Rainbow Auto - Been there once to pick up a rear view mirror, was cheap. Out in the sticks. Never had work done though.

Bruce Cox - My father had work done awhile back and was happy but it did seem a little spendy. In town though.

Harmony Motorworks - Really close to Cox and all the records for my previous 744 turbo were from there. Never been nor do I know anything about them.

So... are there any good opinions supporting any of these or any I should shy from? Also, can a shop do a thorough check-up? I cant seem to solve my rough idle and random hesitation / power loss when cold. Car is dandy once warm.
Otherwise I know the suspension bushings, shocks, struts need replacing. Brakes need help too... a tad too much pedal travel and squeeky front right, I think. Im slowly learning... I just dont have any spare time nor money though I've got 3 jobs. Thanks!
