Volvo specialist east of Manchester??
Seeing as I'm new to Volvo and also new to the UK, here's yet another newbie question...
Are there any good Volvo specialists east of Manchester?? I've just bought a '99 C70 T5 GT. Would be convenient if there's a proper specialist not too far from my new home in Glossop, Derbyshire... |

Hi and welcome
There's Trevor Burgess in Hyde, that's not too far from you.

Thx!
I'll keep that in mind, and probably look him up soon for a thorough service of my newly acquired C70 T5 once I've picked it up on the 14th... |

Welcome to the right side of Manchester! I'm just across the way from you in Saddleworth. Been here 4 years and struggled to find a Volvo specialist I'm happy with. Know lots of good "local" garages though if you need one 👍🏻

Thx Julian,
Once we've settled into our new home, I may very well send you a PM for a list of those "local" garages...

Cheers Gents - I appreciate the input.
I have found that there's an oldskool family-run workshop just around the corner from me here in Glossop called Reliance Garage. I don't really know anything about them, but they give the right vibe. Think I'll give them a try for something not too specialised and see how they manage...
