Wanted: Master Technician In The Phoenix, AZ Area

Post by Orchid Girl »

Does anyone know of a reputable Volvo mechanic in the north Phoenix, AZ area? I am looking for someone who is certified and who has a great reputation with Volvos.

I know of a wonderful one in the Lomita/Harbor City/Torrance area of California. His name is Peter (he is Swedish) and he has been in business for more than 30 years in California. I bought my used 2004 V40 from his shop about a year and a half ago. Other than two oil changes and new windshield wipers, I haven't had to do a thing with it other than wash it. It has been the best used car purchase I've ever made.

He has some great deals on used Volvos that he completely goes through before reselling. Many of the cars he sells are his long-term customer's cars, which he has worked on since day one. If I ever need another car, I'll be heading back to California to pick one up from him. Check out his current inventory of new and used cars.

I would appreciate any information about mechanics in Phoenix.

Thank you
