I have over forty years of service here at Smythe Volvo. The complete level of comfort in knowing all the employees and customers very well is definitely the best part about working here. My favorite Volvo is the Cross Country Wagon. It's an AWD utility vehicle but still more like a car than a truck. It also has a good track record mechanically, performs and handles well. When I'm away from work, spending time with my family is my number one priority, especially with my two grandsons.

Way Beyond The Call of Duty Doug Adams and his team at Smythe Volvo have consistently taken care of my 2006 S60 since it's birth and it continues to fill me with joy as my favori Doug Adams and his team at Smythe Volvo have consistently taken care of my 2006 S60 since it's birth and it continues to fill me with joy as my favorite owned vehicle yet. The service is friendly, on-time, reasonably priced considering the very high value. I will always have my car serviced here, at least for as long as I live in New Jersey part time. A great team and leadership. More

Dead battery problems Purchased new battery (not at Smythe Volvo) a year ago. Was away from car for 3 months and came home to find battery dead. Doug MacAdam made a house Purchased new battery (not at Smythe Volvo) a year ago. Was away from car for 3 months and came home to find battery dead. Doug MacAdam made a house call to check things out for me. I ended up getting battery checked by the place I purchased it, and they charged it and said it was fine. Doug was dubious and requested that I bring car in so he could check the battery. It flunked his test, and his service people installed a new battery right then. I could not be more pleased with Doug's care and attention, and the excellent service. More

Doug McAdam got the car in and out in a few hours and I was back on the road. Great service from a great staff...as always!!! I highly recommend Smythe Volvo, for sales & service. And Doug is terrific to work with! More

Doug greeted me so politely (at 7:30 am) and took my car in for service without an appointment. I was beyond appreciative of the dealership's flexibility and Doug's kind demeanor that turned around my unlucky morning! My family has bought multiple Volvos from Smythe and we have always found their service department to be very accommodating and extremely pleasant! More

Smythe Volvo has been my car dealer since 1978. The service department is a major factor for my loyalty. All the people I have had experience with have been considerate, friendly, and competent..I feel service department is a major factor for my loyalty. All the people I have had experience with have been considerate, friendly, and competent..I feel that the money i have spent on servicing my car has been worth the cost. My 2004' S 80 has 124,000 miles and rides very well for the age of the car. My last contact was a short time ago when I was concerned about a possible transmission problem. Service Manager Nick Pavano handled my problem and concern tactfully and assured me that my concern was not an issue of any magnitude. What a relief !!! Thanks Mr. Pavano and Smythe service. More
