John and Derek have been looking after my volvo's for 5 years now, very fairly priced, great customer service and extremely knowledgeable. Parts and servicing wise, also cheaper than any of the local dealers and everytime i have ordered a part, it has arrived that day or by the next afternoon. I know Chuck said noone deserves a 10/10 , but John and Derek Automotive at Carlton, about 5 mins from my place, wooohooo, definitely are a 10/10. Thanks for turning my car back into the Swedish beast it should be, feels like a new car guys.
