My 1978 242GT will not start in Coral Gables. My son has the car there at the University of Miami. The car ran fine, then it sat for 6 days, and now the car cranks but will not fire. I suspect something simple like a fuse or relay or corroded connection, but it is very difficult to troubleshoot over the phone.

I got some shop names from the Brickboard archives. The closest shop is Gables Cats, but they refuse to work on old Volvos. Selective Automotive Services will work on it, but they are in Hallandale, so we are looking at a very expensive tow, maybe $150 or more. They recommended King Automotive on NW 28th St in Miami. Does anyone have experience with this shop? Any other suggestions? I know I will have to get it towed someplace, but there must be a reputable Volvo shop in the area, maybe King is OK, I'm just flying blind here. Thanks.
