Wanted: caring Volvo-minded garage in W London

Post by 360GLT Inject » 25 Jul 2004 09:34 pm

I have an F-reg 360 GLT injection, the body and engine have been in good nick until very recently but there's now a nasty noise from somewhere upfront. I can't get a garage that really takes the car seriously, the Volvo franchise garages care only about the newer models, the smaller ones fiddle around with the exhaust mountings to no effect. I'd like to keep the car going, the engine is soo good, catches boy-racers by surprise every time and, as a number of people have said, the seats are the comfiest & most secure you can get.
Any suggestions for a garage that cares in West London?
Tks, 360GLT

Always the same problem everywhere, I've tried 5 - 6 important Volvo garages and I was always disapointed. To sell a new S40 is of course much more interesting than good care an old 360... sm2 I don't like that point of view.

We have a lot of english members, I'm sure we will find a good address for your car!
