Outstanding Sales and Service Experience We had an excellent experience with Lovering Volvo Cars Nashua from start to finish. We recently purchased a 2025 Volvo XC40 on a Friday, and the buying proces excellent experience with Lovering Volvo Cars Nashua from start to finish. We recently purchased a 2025 Volvo XC40 on a Friday, and the buying process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. Two days later, while driving the vehicle, the check engine light unexpectedly came on. I called the service department and was blown away by how responsive and helpful they were. They told me I could bring the car in immediately. Although I wasn’t able to come in until the next day, they were extremely accommodating and worked around my schedule. They provided a rental vehicle so I could get to work, completed the repair the very same day, and even washed the car before I arrived to pick it up. The repair was fully covered under warranty, so there was no charge. I have genuinely never experienced service this good—especially so soon after purchasing a vehicle. The entire team was professional, efficient, and truly customer-focused. I highly recommend Lovering Volvo Cars Nashua for both sales and service. More

I had an excellent experience working with Dan Carlen and Ben Carter, and I highly recommend both. I worked with Dan over the course of a few weeks via email and text while discussing the vehicle and pricin Ben Carter, and I highly recommend both. I worked with Dan over the course of a few weeks via email and text while discussing the vehicle and pricing, as I was purchasing from out of state (New Jersey). Communication was clear and straightforward the entire time, and once we agreed on the price, everything went exactly as promised. I drove up on a Saturday, the car was ready and available, and Dan made the process easy and stress-free. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and allowed me to take the car out for a test drive on my own with absolutely no pressure. It was a very pleasant and professional experience. The finance process with Ben Carter was just as positive. Ben walked me through the numbers, explained the different coverage options clearly, and presented everything in a transparent, no-pressure way. There were no surprise add-ons or pushy sales tactics — just straightforward information so I could make my own decisions. The facility itself was modern, well laid-out and inviting, and overall the experience exceeded my expectations. So far everything has gone smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this dealership — especially Dan and Ben — to anyone looking for a stress-free car buying experience. More

When I decided to upgrade early, I went straight to Dan. It took an easy 45 minutes to agree on a fair price for exactly the car I wanted, fair price and good trade amount. Seamless. Dan & Lovering has changed the car buying experience to a pleasurable event and not the root-canal event of my past. I was a loyal Toyota driver for over 15 years but I am fully invested in Lovering & Volvo from now on. Great job to Dan Carlen and Cam in finance. More

We are out of state and Dan walked us through the process and helped us complete in a small window of time that we needed. Thank you for replying to our calls for help even outside your working hours Dan. We LOVE the car and would recommend this location with pleasure! More

I recently purchased a car from Dan C at Volvo, and the experience couldn’t have been easier. Dan made the process smooth by letting me complete most of the paperwork online, and we set up a convenient app experience couldn’t have been easier. Dan made the process smooth by letting me complete most of the paperwork online, and we set up a convenient appointment to finalize everything. From start to finish, it took less than an hour! Cameron in finance was also fantastic—professional, respectful, and didn’t pressure me into purchasing unnecessary add-ons. I felt genuinely valued as a person, not just another sale. Plus, the store is LGBTQ+ friendly, which made me feel even more comfortable and welcomed. I highly recommend Dan and the team at Volvo for their outstanding service and inclusive environment. More

We had an excellent car buying experience at Lovering Volvo of Nashua. We purchased a new XC60 - we have previously been XC90 and XC70 owner. This was our second Volvo purchase from Lovering, and it c Volvo of Nashua. We purchased a new XC60 - we have previously been XC90 and XC70 owner. This was our second Volvo purchase from Lovering, and it could not have been smoother. Dan Carlen, the Sales Manager, and Brianna Tompkins, the Business Manager, were particularly accommodating of a tight family schedule. We have had our Volvos services through Lovering Nashua for years, and we would not consider purchasing a Volvo from any other dealer. We enthusiastically recommend Lovering Volvo for excellent, friendly and thoughtful service. More
