For my part my experience has been fine with RT, and Russ has never asked me to post anything on here. Unless he checks this forum, he probably doesn't even know that I have posted this. TC |

Who the hell do you think you are????? I made a recommendation based on my experience. Fine, if you don't like it then go ahead and post but don't start lobbing accusations at me and what you think of me just because. You are sounding obsessed in your obvious hatred of RT and have allowed that to affect your judgememt into making personal attacks on me. Now go and grow up. |

Trustworthy volvo agent - independant
I can recommend Hutton Bros in Slingsby, Near Malton, North Yorkshire.
They currently look after my XC90; their prices are competitive, they know what they are doing and are friendly and flexible - but they have been volvo specialists for over 50 years. I purchased a low mileage V70 from them four years ago we agreed a price. The garage owner owner indicated that if he sold my locally rather than trade (it was a Nissan Pathfinder), that he would send me a cheque? I never thought anything more about it but sure as hell a cheque for £500 arrived in the post a couple of months later. As far as I am concerned that demonstrated integrity, I have used them ever since and have no hesitation in recommending their services. |

A couple of threads that may give you some insight: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showth...323#post806323 http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=81855 There are very good reasons why the previous posts were written. Quote:
As has been before, not only in this thread but in others of a similar vein, it seems odd that a new member pops up after an "incident" praising an individual or organisation. One bitten twice shy I'm afraid.

I'm pleased you made a recommendation based upon your experience, I made my post, based upon my considerable experience and knowledge of that trader. I apologise if that hurt, upset, or made you outraged <God forbid you start making legal threats too, although I understand Russ will probably pass you his solicitors details if you ask nicely - you can probably pay him in tins of beans given the state of his professional letters..> - however, you were the one who made the point about the "eye watering bill".. So forgive my comments upon it... bearing in mind you've bought it up. I'm suitably grown up, and over my years of growing up have experienced the best and the worst that the various volvo mechanics can offer - including "eye watering bills".. I've also experienced the quite common experience many have, of being subtly, or not so subtly asked/hinted/demanded to write favourable reviews on said garages.. I know it happens, and I know that Mr. Thompson is very good at getting people to do it when asked.... So you'll have to forgive my very well founded cynisism I'm afraid...... By the way, it wasn't a "Personal Attack" - You'd have known about that without a doubt. Have a nice day.

A few pointers! You appear to have put this in the wrong section? This is called "Volvo dealers we can trust" RT Mechanic's are not Volvo dealers they are just a Garage like many other thousands out there. Personal Experience? I would say don't Trust Russ! I don't! His Brother Andy he seems an honest enough Guy! and i would say you can trust him, he once saved me the better part of 1500 qsuids when upgrading my brakes, Russ would constantly go one about APs and when I spoke to Andy he asked me a few questions and bang! "Greg 302's will be fine" Have to say they used to work all day long and never faded! Thanks Andy! Also maybe you should post your experiences up in a few Mini or BMW forums as they have just become Specialists in them to! lol Thanks Greg

Trusted dealerships in Herts / Beds / Bucks...?
Hi all, I'm keen to retain the FVSH for our (63 plate) S60 and the 72k service is due. I'm looking for a (trusted) Volvo dealership that can do the service within the Herts / Beds / Bucks area (we're in St. Albans). Have been through this thread and noted the positive comments re: Volvo dealers in Bedford and High Wycombe but these are further away than we would like. That said, would rather travel the distance for decent service and minimal ongoing hassle.
Aware of Marshalls in Welwyn (mainly awful reviews on Google) and Pillings in Hemel (can't find any reviews and that almost bothers me more) so looking for alternative recommendations or positive experiences of these two for some piece of mind... Here's hoping, with fingers crossed... Thanks, CodMonkey |

Probably a little far, but my wife's car is with them today, as it happens. Posts as "Horton" on here.
