My son is taking his 1991 Volvo 240 to college in Evanston, IL. Anybody recommend a good Volvo mechanic (just in case)?

A lot of folks on this list do their own work so it it hard for them or me to recommend a particular mechanic. Find a place with a bunch of volvo's parked outside and have a talk with the mechanic. Ask about a volvo that cuts out and then will restart later (like 20 minutes after a few tries) ask him if he has any ideas. If he tells you to check the fuel pump relay he is probably honest (this is a common volvo problem). If he tells you to just bring it in he is more interested in making money. Good luck
