The last time I had mine in there, It was when my gas tank started leaking, Ryan had the hose there the next day, and he even wired up my APEXi-AVC-R for me,(it was his first time ever adding any type of Boost controller, manuel or electric) and did a great job. He comes in every Saturday to try and catch up. Im glad to have him as a tech, so much Im putting his shop name on the back window of my car.

865-482-6880. Ive never had a bad experience with him, anyone in the area should use him, unless you like paying too much.

They have helped me out so many times, and always do quick work and for very reasonable rates. They always do you right. Awesome shop.

Comments: My '97 850 GLT needed new front rotors/pads at 43K. I bought the needed Volvo OEM parts from an discounted online dealer and brought them with me. The service dept refused, at first, to install them because they couldn't be "Volvo" parts because they were too cheap (left the invoice in the box). In the end, the General Manager, Service Manager, my Salesman, the Parts Manager, and I had a "discussion". The end result - they used my parts but were not happy about losing $350 to parts. Their attitude stinks and I won't go back.

Comments: I have never been pleased with their service. I have owned my car for six years and can say that they are the worst dealership that I have ever dealt with. So bad that I will likely never buy another Volvo unless I move closer to a reputable dealer.

Hopefully this will help someone in the future.

i called up the dealer prior to loading my car on a dolly, and taking a ride. I bring the car to the dealer last night (on Mason avenue in Daytona), leave it over night as the service manager has asked of me to do. i show up this morning to discus the issue of the said vehicle, the manager has not yet had the chance to come and look at the car so he went out with me, he tells me in this sluggish manner to pop the hood, so i do as he has asked. as i explain to him that i have no spark and one plug has been taken out of the 5th cylinder still plugged in to the wire to check for spark, he says to me, "No i cant take this car, I cant work on other peoples mistakes and their half ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD'ed attempts to fix their cars, i dont want your business,im a service manager here, and i am also a partial owner of this family business and you are going to have to take your car elsewhere, get it off my parking lot" all the time he was saying this he had this smirk and belittling smile.

i understand that some places may not like to work with cars that had exposed wires everywhere, and not knowing where to start, but i only had a missing spark plug and a terminal disconnected off the battery. there was no excuse for that kind of tone.

needless to say i was content with the 105$ per hour charge for service, but after dealing with this A-hole (excuse my lack of a better word) this is not a place i would ever want any of my vehicles even looked at knowing that their customer service rapport building is so poor. I would not recommend this dealer to anyone.

Comments: After reading BB forums and before I bought my volvo, I went to my one and only Tampa volvo dealership and made friends with the service manager. Once I told them I was going to buy a yellow 95T-5R wagon they were thrilled and showed me around their service area and facilities. I didnt buy the car from them. When I brought it in for a 44pt inspection the rumour must of spread and all the service techs were waiting to check out my car. They allowed me in the service bay so they could show me any faults with my car. I had to revisit them after 2 weeks as they put a tracer dye in my A/C and they took me right in without having an appointment or waiting. I will not hesitate to take my car back to them as they have some 'enthusiasts' who work for them. They seem expensive for parts & labour so I will seek an indie for any major work, but for regular maintenance & service-Tampa volvo. I rate them 10 and only time will tell if they keep it up!!

One father and his 3 sons. I've had a rad replaced, a manual swap done on the wagon and other smaller stuff and I have always been blown away by the quality of the work. His review on Google says it all, Garage Review-click me!.

Even if you are just buying a part, they can sell you the same part as the dealer for a lot less. They work on any gen Volvo.

No surprise there. <_<

Dealer: Bought my Volvo from these guys and couldnt have gotten a better deal.

Service: A+ service...plus the only Volvo place in town that isn't outrageous for an Oil Change.

Their repair rates were very reasonable and they did quality work on my 850 T. You can't ask for more. They will be getting my business again in the future.

The shop details are;

The shop is in the Rivergate/Madison area very close to the Peterbilt plant.

Comments: Sales doesn't know products too well, but all seem to be Volvo fans. Service department is OK, but had to take the car (2000 C70) back several times for repairs. High turn over of service staff. GM seems concerned about customers and solving problems. Lost my original paperwork and never gave me a copy until one year after the sale and with prodding from VCNA.

I had Triple A haul my wife's 850T to Mr. Long's on the recommendation of a friend after the car stopped running suddenly. The gentleman I dealt with (over the phone) was a gentleman named Brian who was incredibly friendly. Here's what I had done:

Parts:

FR7DC Bosch Super Sparkplugs (x5) - $10.70

Fuel Pump Relay - $25.00

Cap/Rotor/Wires - $45.00

Shop Supplies (engine and parts cleaner) - $4.00

Shop Supplies (Throttle body cleaner) - $4.96

Total for Parts: 89.69

Labor:

2.00 hrs @ $64.00/hour - $128.00

Total: 217.68

As I mentioned above, I had the car towed to this location on the recommendation of a friend. I spoke with the gentleman over the phone and he called me when the job was done. When I set out to find the shop I really felt like I had driven out into the middle of nowhere. When I pulled in to the shop location I was greeted by a multiple-acre Volvo junkyard (hence the used parts listed above). The parts and labor listing comes directly from the invoice given to me by the shop. I also asked for an estimate on a valve guide seals/head gasket job and was given an estimate of $750.00 to $800.00.

I strongly recommend anyone in the Middle TN area give Mr. Long a call.

Comments: Absolutely the most incompetent service department I have ever dealt with. For every major repair we have gone there first because we live in Lexington, Later we have to go to Louisville to Tafel Motors and they will fix the problem every time. Thus we have learned go to Tafel first. We actually gave Quantrell a chance to sell us a Volvo first, again a condescending, pushy salesman would not take my wife and I seriously probably because we are young. Thus, he lost a sale by "pre-qualifying" his buyer. Both my wife and I make six figure saleries, but when we go to car dealerships we dress very casually so we will not be over patronized.

Off 52N at Germanton Road- Germanton becomes Cherry St.

Great service- a small shop. They do Volvos and Saabs, and are very conscientious about their work. I went in thinking I had a bad oil cooler line, but they found it was the PCV system. They took the car right away and had the work within 24 hours. They told me about things that will need repair, and about how long I could go before fixing them. The hourly is $70.00. The owner, Rick, is a nice guy, too.

Comments: I had a very good new car experience with Don Beyer. They were not pushy or overly agressive while I was shopping. And when I went in to buy, they beat the best price I had, even though it was from a buying service for a different dealer. When I picked up the car, it had some sort of water leak in the cabin the first day I had it. Even though I had already taken delivery of the car, I told them I wanted a new one, and they did so without any discussion or argument. Very impressive. Highly recommended (which was from a different dealer)

Comments: Service department is excellent, Mike Lunsford is the man! They always got me a loaner car right away. I had charging system problems that they didn't quite fix the first time around, and after that, they didn't bill me anything until they fixed it right.

Comments: Great location if you need to get to there via the Metro (subway). It's no more than a 10 minute walk from the West Falls Church station, but the service department also has a courtesy car that can pick you up. I also like the fact that its service dept is open until 7:30pm, so you can pick up your car after work. The only down side to this dealership is that sometimes it can take a while to get an appointment, however, my experience with its service department has been good.

Comments: i've never had any repair work done there, but their parts department is terrible. I don't think the people working in the parts dept know the difference between a lug nut and a brake pad. one guy even told me volvo never made 240 turbo's in 1985 and then went so far as to say i was calling him a liar and that someone had pulled a "fast one" on me when they sold me my 245Ti by saying it was an '85 when it was really an '84. i told him i could prove it was an '85 by looking at the vin # but he didn't believe me. all i know is after dealing with their parts dept, i wouldn't dare pull my car into any of their repair bays even if they paid me to work on my brick.

Comments: I read the review of this dealership on the site (I'm a new visitor here, been combing the archives for a day or two now), and I felt obliged to chip in my experiences with them. I had a very short and simple telephone conversation with someone in their service department, who went well out of his way to diagnose my problem, and offer assistance. From a first glance I thought I had a Battery light on, on the dash lights, but after a conversation with the nice guy in the service department, and his knowledgeable suggestion that it was a common mistake to mis-read the low-coolant light as a battery light, I went back and had a second look at it and indeed he was correct.

All things considered, he was knowledgeable, both of the car's likely problems, and likely solutions. I would not normally have dealt with this dealership (my Fiancee' is a UNC Chapel Hill Student, we were leaving from here on a long trip when I called the dealership, not my usual mechanic), but I felt inclinded to relay my experiences with them. I don't claim to have brought them any complicated problems, but for this one they did quite fine.
