Greg Cobert works out of his garage where he has a lift.
he is a volvo mechanic who quit at the dealership to work at home for $40.00 per hour.
he welded the hinge to the a-frame for ninty bucks on my wagon.
on my 850, he did the the water pump and t. belt for $200.00
he lets you bring in internet parts and can rebuild engines.

I take anything I cant do to Greg. He is the best volvo mechanic for miles and miles. And maybe a few miles beyond that. Great!!!

Where is he located at? I'm in need of someone to help on the install of sway bars that has a lift, and I sure don't wanna spend dealership prices to get these badboys installed.

I'm also a big fan of taking my car to Greg. He's very honest, which isn't a quality I'm used to seeing in a mechanic. The only problem is that he's 1.5 hours away and it's tough getting a car to him after work, when you've got a couple of hungry kids.
