"All Vovo" in Seattle- Good shop?

Post by mpayson »

Hello everyone,

I'm thinking of buying a 1977 245 from All Vovo at 102nd & Greenwood in Seattle. They seem to be a reputable shop & the customers who came in while I was there all seemed happy, but I want to make sure. I brought in another Volvo for a buyers inspection & they vetoed that one & then suggested the one they had for sale (To be fair, I did ask them if they knew of any good deals). They'll give me a 1 year "major mechanical" warranty on it, so I'm pretty tempted, but I'd like a bit more reassurance that they are reputable first.

Thanks!
Mike

I have no firsthand experience with them.

Call Kathy's Northern European Auto Repair
2215 Aurora N
Seattle, WA 98109 - 2443
(206) 284-4445

and ask them about All Vovo. I've had work done at Kathy's and they're solid.

Also call VolvoFinders
Phone - (425) 825-1205

and ask them. They (in Kirkland) might even have a 240 for you.
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!

Thanks for the tip. I called Kathy's & they said basically good things about All Vovo. In the process they mentioned a car that they had for sale that appears to be an even better deal. Nothings set in stone, but it looks like I'll be going that way.

Thanks for the help!
