Default decent indie in cheshire?

is there any??

my father is having some serious electrical problems with his S70 and is currently taking it to some auto electricians in crewe, but i have the niggling feeling that a dedicated volvo place might be better for him.

so anyone know anywhere around macclesfield, congleton, knutsford, northwich type area?

Understood ... but is 30 or 40 miles really so far to go in pursuit of good service these days?

i'll look into stratstones

unfortunately i think most of the problem are neglect (air con not working etc)

the local garage said the earth strap was rusted through, and refused to touch it, the strap was replaces at an auto electrician in crewe, but i dont quite trust that explanation.

This may be a little out of the way but you could try Trevor Burgess in Hyde tel:0161 368 9933

I've used him in the past and had no problems.

thanks, i'm going down to see my parents this weekend, so i'm gonna have a look at the car and find out what the catalogue of faults is.

i think i'll be strongly recommending one of these places to them
