Tony that's just your opinion, have you got a gripe with them?
They are maybe not a Volvo Main dealer now but are still a Volvo authorised service dealer with a full parts department.

Its a fact, not an opinion..No I have no gripe with them.

MRG have never been a Volvo main dealer but where an independent dealership and like most have lost their Volvo contract.

How are MRG still an authorised Volvo service dealer..

Ok the Vocabulary was maybe not correct it should have read Volvo service centre which they are.
Now is that better?
Now as far as I know MRG were a Volvo main dealer up until the end of 2013Maybe you know something MRG never knew?
All Volvo dealerships in the UK are independent and not owned by the Volvo.
