No doubt that A/C is critical here in the desert! Are you saying the 940/940T in particular are known for A/C problems, or any of the 9XX models? That's one concern I had about Volvo in general, whether the A/C is good enough for the heat we have here.

Thanks for the info on Hirsch. I'm in Mesa, so it'd be a bit of a drive, but if they're really good, it may be worth it. There's a place in north Mesa recommended here on the shops page, and my wife's friend, a long time Volvo fan, also has a recommended Volvo mechanic in the east valley. Once I get the name I'll have to post it here.
