They probably won't have had much in stock. If they're anything like mine, where the Parts Troll has a small breezeblock room with 2 sets of shelves and lots of 850/S40/V70 etc parts, but nowt for the likes of us.

Stratstone??
dont worry, all 30 Stratstone sites will be replaced by the end of 2008 or very early 2009 at the latest. The new dealers will either be on the same site or will be serving the same catchment area as the closed dealer but in this case would be on new site owned by the new company.
volvo uk are working fast on this!!

Volvo were fed up with complaints about Stratstone and have told them to bog off.

Good for Volvo - I`m amazed the likes of Merc and B.M.W. etc., haven`t done similarly - the whole ethos at Stratstone seems to be screw the customer and forget service.V6 Man wrote:Volvo were fed up with complaints about Stratstone and have told them to bog off.

Credit Crunch
Here in Surrey a few big dealer's have gone to the wall, apparently due to the credit crunch. However, speaking to some still in business, they are actually quite happy with sales and have had a few good months recently. Going by the above post, it may be that the manufacturers then may be using this as an excuse and are cutting out dead wood and streamlining things back?
I blame the Volvo 66 estate I had......
