We purchased a 2017 V60 from Concord Volvo, and they even kindly offered to pick my girlfriend up to bring her to the dealership to finalize the transaction. The problems ensued when nobody contacted her abo kindly offered to pick my girlfriend up to bring her to the dealership to finalize the transaction. The problems ensued when nobody contacted her about the pickup time and they showed up nearly three hours late, after telling us the day before that they'd be there around 9 am. After child care arrangements were made and a half day of work was missed, the car was purchased, in cash. Upon our mechanic inspecting the vehicle, it was clear that it had been in an accident due to the right fender being painted and replaced, as well as the hood being repainted. Also, both sway bar links were deemed unable to pass Maine inspection, the brake rotors were rusty and noisy, and the right front door was coding and not working properly. Now all of this is fixable and wouldn't have to be an issue if Lovering were willing to fix these issues. However, when we spoke to the salesman, he went out of his way to avoid responsibility, did nothing to attempt to remedy the situation other than seeing they'd take the car back and refund us. Did they offer to work with us on another car? No. The salesman even went so far as to complain about being a 74 year old man who was "low on the totem pole" and referred me to the sales manager. He continually tried to talk over me on the phone, seemingly in an attempt to minimize my concerns. The sales manager Jon(sp?) refused to initially acknowledge that our mechanic's concerns were valid, and when I pointed out that the salesman had boasted that the car had been serviced by Volvo for the last few years, he didn't want to own that the accident should have been reported to us. He also refused to have anything fixed, saying his service department passed the vehicle for NH inspection. Ironically, the then stated that due to the issues we brought up through our mechanic, he would probably be wholesaling the vehicle. An incredibly confusing scenario, refusing to fix or agree with another mechanic, but trusting him enough to wholesale the vehicle upon return? We then contacted Carrie, who also did not offer to help and simply responded "yeah" several times when hearing our concerns. Obviously this car wasn't a priority to them, or our purchase wasn't. I'm not sure which, but it was every single stereotype about a used car-buying experience wrapped up into a few lousy days. Long story semi-short, Lovering never offered to help us find another vehicle, not once. We but a 22k check and for them, simply giving us our money back and essentially saying "oh well" after a 5 hour round trip was their definition of customer service. An incredibly disappointing experience, considering their reputation. Perhaps we're the exception, but I know I'll never purchase a vehicle from them nor recommend anyone else do so. Avoid Lovering, find another dealership that works to find solutions, not throw their hands up in defeat. I also challenge Lovering to dispute any of this review by either releasing the recorded phone calls, or the emails back and forth. More

Steve changed how I looked at dealerships instantly upon walking into their Concord location. I had been in search of a pre-owned Volvo of a very specific trim and when they had one on offer, I immediately walking into their Concord location. I had been in search of a pre-owned Volvo of a very specific trim and when they had one on offer, I immediately went to see it. Steve gave me a great price on my trade, was very friendly, let me see the car without any tactics or angles and is clearly an enthusiast of the company himself. I'll recommend Lovering to anyone looking for a potential Volvo. If we're in the market for another, I'll be going to Concord in a heartbeat. Thanks again Steve! More
