I have been doing all the electrical repairs to get my 850T into good repair and I have a local mechanic to do the regular hoist/undercar work - so far so good.
I have a broken valve spring or worse and he doesn't want to get into the engine. I don't have a garage and am getting too old for the heavy stuff anymore, so I need a good Volvo mechanic in the Santa Fe, New Mexico area.
Also I am planning on buying a used S60R next year and I think I will need a really good guy to keep that running!

There used to be an excellent Volvo Master Mechanic over at Santa Fe Mazda/Volvo.
IIRC, look up Thomas Chung. I may be off on his last name. Great guy.

Man, I'd send it to Albuquerque and use IVS. They are amazing.
