My recent service experience at Johnson Volvo in Durham was extremely stressful, frustrating, and overwhelming. Unfortunately, this is not my first disappointing experience with the service department when was extremely stressful, frustrating, and overwhelming. Unfortunately, this is not my first disappointing experience with the service department when dealing with a major vehicle concern. My routine oil-change appointments have generally been fine; however, whenever I have experienced a significant issue, such as problems with my tires or roller blind, the level of communication, customer service, and follow-through has been very different. In the past, I have had to contact Volvo Corporate before receiving an appropriate response regarding my tire and roller blind concerns. Sadly, I have also felt that, as a female customer, I am not treated or addressed with the same level of attention and respect that male customers receive. My most recent experience left me feeling unwelcome, overlooked, and as though my concerns were not being taken seriously. On a Monday around noon, I contacted the dealership and explained that I was having a tire problem and was concerned that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. I was told that Joshua said if I could drop the vehicle off on Wednesday, they would work me in. When I arrived on Wednesday, however, Joshua told me that he did not know I was coming. I was then passed over to Benny, who placed the tire order, and I was told that someone would contact me when it arrived. No one contacted me. After waiting several days, I called on Friday morning and was told that the tire had arrived. I was then told that the earliest they could see me was the following week. Considering that replacing the tire was a relatively simple service that would take approximately an hour, I found it unreasonable that I had to wait through the entire weekend, especially after already waiting for the tire and not receiving the promised communication. At this point, the issue is bigger than just a tire. It is the repeated lack of communication, poor coordination, and failure to follow through on what customers are told. I should not have to repeatedly call, explain the same situation, and escalate my concerns simply to receive basic communication and service. I have been a Volvo customer and have chosen Johnson Volvo for my vehicle's service needs, but these repeated experiences have made me seriously question whether my business and concerns are truly valued. Customers should feel welcomed, respected, heard, and confident that their safety concerns are being taken seriously, regardless of whether they are male or female. I sincerely hope Johnson Volvo management will take this review seriously, investigate what happened, and address the communication and customer-service issues within the service department. No customer should have to experience this level of stress and frustration simply trying to get a vehicle repaired, particularly when the concern involves the safety of the vehicle. More
On Friday, 10JUL2026, we had our appointment to deal with an issue of a vehicle we purchased (less than a week) that was sold with tires considered unsafe to drive and the 7 day warranty of going back and fo an issue of a vehicle we purchased (less than a week) that was sold with tires considered unsafe to drive and the 7 day warranty of going back and forth on the phone to get it approved. My wife and I were there for over 5 hours trying to get this approved which had involved with service advisor to speak with them. I would like to say to Benny Wong whom was very courteous upon arrival, to providing updates, and doing anything that was needed to speed up the process. Not only did he provide information needed to this warranty company but was an advocate as to the time to get it approved to providing photos as to why it was unsafe to drive. I got to say it was miserable, my husband came out of a procedure that morning off of anesthesia as we needed to get this fixed. I can not say enough to a tremendous thank you to both Benny but also the manager for taking the extra step and installing our new tires. It is hard to find a trustworthy dealer and even though we live 40min away, I am only going to this dealership for my new vehicle. sincerely thank you for caring Benny!- More

I can be very meticulous with major purchases, and Elijah maintained a friendly, professional demeanor throughout the entire process(including phone correspondence), which I appreciated. Everyone we made contact with, including the General Sales Manager Peter and the Pre-Owned Sales Manager Marcus, was kind, professional and allayed any concerns with purchasing a CPO Volvo. The finance manager Thomas was professional and efficient. The tech guru Hunter provided thorough assistance with setting up the app and reviewing tech features. Any future Volvo purchases will go through Elijah and Johnson Volvo first, and I highly recommend him! More
