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.

The Smythe Volvo, Inc. dealership in Summit, NJ is quite impressive. So friendly, courteous, informative and, most especially, helpful. The sales rep who sold me my car, Brian Gail, made the appointment f impressive. So friendly, courteous, informative and, most especially, helpful. The sales rep who sold me my car, Brian Gail, made the appointment for me on extremely short notice. My 2010 S80 model was brought in the following day and the scheduled 15,000 mile service and maintenance was performed in 3 hours time. Newly available software was downloaded for the operation of the transmission in the car, a surefire proof that the S80 model is a "smart car." It is the best car that I have ever owned and operated. The Service Advisor who helped me out was Douglas MacAdam. He advised me about the transmission and about changing the oil and other prudent regular maintenance considerations associated with the model. In interacting with Messrs. Gail and MacAdam a feeling of confidence arises in me that I have been and will be well taken care of in the future with my automobile. I have turned to Brian for advice several times in the recent past and today to Doug for advice on service and maintenance considerations. Their considerable expertise, knowledge and helpfulness give rise to true customer satisfaction. On this basis, and without reservation, I strongly recommend the Smythe Volvo dealership in Summit, New Jersey. More

I gave the aforementioned ratings noted above because the service staff diagnosed and evaluated my service needs and prescribed the appropriate level of service required to resolve my issue. The repairs wer service staff diagnosed and evaluated my service needs and prescribed the appropriate level of service required to resolve my issue. The repairs were timely and cost-effective. The staff is the most professional I've ever dealt with in the automobile dealership industry over the past 30 years I've owned cars. Sean does an amazing job managing and training the staff to remain professional at all times no matter how rude some people can be...and I've witnessed some obnoxious people in thier presence, but the staff always handles and resolves the situaton to the customer's satisfaction. I remain a loyal customer because they remain a loyal dealership. More

The excellent service of Smythe Volvo started when I couldnt start my car and Doug came to my house to 'unstick' the ignition. When he arrived, he told me that he had already ordered the part, based on couldnt start my car and Doug came to my house to 'unstick' the ignition. When he arrived, he told me that he had already ordered the part, based on our conversation on the phone. So he had expedited the process of fixing my car. When I arrived for the appointment, I was given a loaner car (which I was not expecting). Next, there was an issue with the break pads. We purchased the car preowned from out of state and the wrong size break pads were installed. He offered to call the dealer, who agreed to cover the cost of replacing the break pads. The service at Smythe Volvo is so fantastic that it is reason to be a lifelong Volvo owner. More
