Re: Need a non-ripoff Volvo Mechanic in McLean/Tyson,VA

Swedish Car Specialists used to be great until Pablo left and they changed locations. They were not able to diagnose AC problems which Don Beyer Volvo identified the second time I took it in to them (relay switch). Right now, I'd like to know if anyone knows someone else, because I am losing confide...

Re: List your 850/S70/V70/XC70 parts failures, 1992-2000 onl

For my 1996 850 GLT, here are the failures over the years. The worst of it was the inability of several shops' to repair the AC. We simply didn't use it for a over a year when the expenditures exceeded $3,000, more than the value of the car at this point. Starting in 1999 - headlight wiper motor, bo...
