Re: Any recommendations for the Baltimore Maryland Area

Caton Auto Clinic, on US 40 in Catonsville, isn't a Volvo specialist, but they do everything from engine, to transmission, to bodywork. They do good work and they're honest, which is something to look for. They once got a tune up kit for my old Toyota as a warranty claim against their supplier becau...

Re: POLL: What skill level mechanic are you?

I'm glad I'm in good company with "Good Enough." I managed to convert my 740 from an automatic to a 5-speed using just the Haynes manual, but I also screwed up the entire valvetrain of my wife's V70 doing the headgasket. I would say I was "High/Experienced" but my track record of...

Newbie to the forum, but not to Volvos

Hello, I just joined but I've been around some of the other Volvo forums since 1997. I've got a 1989 740 GL wagon with an ipd suspension and an M-47 5-speed conversion. Someday it will be turbo. I've also got a 1998 V70 AWD that's my wife's and a 1993 244 (not a Classic) that currently is on long-te...
