04 S60 stalls, looking for mechanic in Westerly RI

Post by rastarea »

My son's S60 stalls once in a while, highway or town. New car to him since 2 weeks, so may be a previous owner not fixed problem. The car was inspected and proved to be ok and well cared for. One code was in the history : fuel pressure. But no problem at all for the first 1000 miles.

He is en route right now for Westerly in RI for a 3 months summer job. Does anybody know a Volvo repair shop in that area? He cannot do any repair himself.

Check out the Volvo mechanis sub-forum for RI Volvo mechanic recommendations. I think there are some recent ones.

And, have Junior sign up...we will turn him into a mechanic pretty quickly.

If you can make it to Groton, CT Eurocars-Plus is where all of my Volvo's were serviced until we moved to Mass. Mark was always straightfoward, if not the cheapest for an indie. We bought a car from him as well. We were coming in from Wyoming (RI).

There's also a place in East Lyme - European Auto Ltd. Never had service with them (it was the wrong direction from work) but when I dropped by the owner spent some time talking with me about Volvo's and his philosophy. Seemed trustworthy and some folks from work who lived that way used him regularly.

Good luck.
