Praise for Darell Waltrip Volvo in Franklin, TN

Post by MadeInJapan »

I've been very pleasantly surprised that an actual Volvo dealer's parts department (I know nothing of their sales or service depts) is actually mod-friendly and if you ask for Don or Jamie there and tell either of them that you're on the Volvo forums, they will give you a discount (often beating the other online stores we've been used to buying from). Be aware that we're talking only OEM (actual Volvo) parts and not third party stuff. Shipping from them is also reasonable (and fast!)- however, if you live in the State of TN, you will incur our ridiculously high sales tax. That said, contact information is: http://www.darrellwaltrip.com/ and you can use their parts form but best bet (and for the discount) is to call them during regular business hours (Central time):
MON-FRI 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM
SATURDAY 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
SUNDAY Closed
Their phone number is: (800) 689 - 0021 for Volvo Parts

I've placed a couple of orders with them. Don and Jamie know their stuff, they're cheap and their shipping is fast. they don't gouge on shipping either. Anything oem I get there.

I placed an order with them late on Tuesday, and received it today (Thursday). Everything is genuine Blue Box Volvo at Scan Tech prices. Fantastic prices and fantastic service.

I'll give them a call this week and ask for clarification on that. Sounds odd and sudden.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

They are a good dealer to buy cars from too! I drove from Atlanta to buy my 2006 certified S80 from them. I got a better car and I got a better deal!

I'm not sure what happened but it is my understanding that they won't even ship out of state anymore. I'll guess that some of the other dealers got their panties in a wad and complained back to the home office.

Too bad about DW but Tasca is a good alternative choice.
