Leon Burton and his crew at the VOLVOSTOP run THE best Volvo shop around. He has tended to my 93 940 Turbo wagon and our sons 92 940 sedan and 94 850 Turbo over the past 10 years or so. He is fair, honest and a great guy to work with. He and his crew know Vovos inside and out. I will sing his praises always!

This place is absolutely incredible, ive been there about a year ago for a timing belt change, and just went today for a axle replacement and tranny flush. The work was done incredibly fast and the price for the tranny flush was over $100 less than what I had paid at an AAMCO 6 months ago. Leons honesty is also something that I appreciate very much, he could have easily told me that many of the parts that I thought were worn needed replacement, but he had told me that they are still good and then discovered the true root of the problem and advised me on how to fix it.
From my experiences, I will always bring my Volvos to Leon and recieve only the highest quality service!

Update: Had to call in to Vovlostop today as my engine light came on. Have a V70 XC. Leon has retired (gone fishin!) and Volvostop is now owned by Paul, he's a Brit and I'd say provided a fantastic service. He kept on the same mechanics and as my past experience with Volvostop, he gave an excellent price and did a very quick turn around, even kept me updated step by step on repairs. Very impressed. You have got to check out this guy!

This place is awesome, quality work, I have had many things done there (brake pads, rotors, CV Boot, because I had no idea on how to do these myself.) and I may get my RMS fixed there (reasonable price on that as well).

Great shop. Just recently went there to have my radiator replaced.
BUT... I did have 1 bad experience with them early last year when they mis-diagnosed by Turbo issue (after having my car for the better part of the day I get a call that suggested replacing the Turbo ($1200!), but if they would of looked under the heat shield, they would see that the little cotter pin (<$1 part) that attaches the wastegate actuator to the turbo, fell off). So I avoided them for a while, but decided to give it one more chance, and I couldnt be happier with the work. Paul, the owner, is awesome.
Will be going back soon for the RMS (plus others) as well.
