I started here at Smythe Volvo at the age of 18 as a porter. Over the last 30 years I became an Apprentice Mechanic, Mechanic, Sales Consultant, Sales Manager, General Manager, Owner then President/CEO. My favorite aspect of working at Smythe Volvo is the interaction with our customers. It's a pleasure to get to know them personally and to see them happy with our level of service. My favorite Volvo model is the 1965 P1800. It's a sporty and extremely durable vehicle that signifies the heritage of Volvo. It's silhouette can be seen in the Smythe Volvo logo. Outside of work my complete focus is on my wonderful wife and six children.

Tire issue completely blown off — unacceptable. I was told the tires weren’t that bad and that I wouldn’t have noticed without taking it to a BMW dealer. So is Smythe Volvo’s position that the dry rot wasn’t visible without expert inspection? That’s alarming for a dealership selling $80K vehicles
