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.

My son was shopping for his first car, to be financed in no small part by his own savings - he had his eye on a Subaru CrossTrek, so we pursued that avenue - It was an absolute nightmare - after two weeks o no small part by his own savings - he had his eye on a Subaru CrossTrek, so we pursued that avenue - It was an absolute nightmare - after two weeks of the dealer promising "yes, we can get you exactly what you want for the price we agreed on" (and holding our deposit), and coming through with a car that had features we didn't want at a price we didn't agree on, my son had had enough. After driving my wife's recently purchased pre-owned 2010 XC60, he decided to work with Smythe - within a day he had his own pre-owned XC60, at a great price. So, why do we deal with Smythe? Quite simply: They are straightforward, welcoming, honest, forthright, and morally upright; they give you the straight story, will give price breaks when they can, and just as importantly, provide excellent service after the sale. During this particular sale, Dave Graham and Kevin Flanagan provided excellent insight and support, and worked hard to restore my son's faith in auto dealers - I do believe the succeeded, and with flying colors! Alex Kattwinkel was great at explaining the various financing options to my son, and telling him about the extra options he *didn't* want, as well as advising him on those he might want. It was actually fun to by a car with these guys! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! More

I recently went to Smythe Volvo to consider purchasing a used car from their inventory for my son. I spoke with Kevin Flanagan about 4 vehicles that we saw online and wanted to test drive. Kevin was very used car from their inventory for my son. I spoke with Kevin Flanagan about 4 vehicles that we saw online and wanted to test drive. Kevin was very accommodating, providing us with opportunities to test drive all 4 vehicles as well as pointing out a couple of others that might also fit our requirements. The entire staff was very helpful as they shuttled cars from the offsite lot to the main dealership, switched plates and gave us a great deal of attention. After my son drove seven cars we settled on a 2011 Jetta, reached a very fair price, and the paperwork was handled very quickly. It isn't often that you have a chance to work with people at a car dealership that will give you the time and attention without a hard sell. I know a number of other acquaintances that have bought multiple cars at Smythe and all are extremely satisfied. More

I know very few dealer-principals, like Kevin Flanagan. He does not lock himself up in his office but still sells vehicles on the floor of the showroom. I can only describe Kevin in superlatives as this He does not lock himself up in his office but still sells vehicles on the floor of the showroom. I can only describe Kevin in superlatives as this is the third vehicle which I have purchased through him at this dealership. I hail from a family-owned Lincoln-Mercy dealership where my father was the Service Manager. After his retirement, I dreaded the thought of purchasing a vehicle elsewhere. At Smythe, I have found the Flangan family who treat me like one of their own. I recommend Smythe Volvo with enthusiasm. Fr. Glenn J. Comandini, Pastor St. James Church 184 S. Finley Ave. P.O.

Working with Kevin was better than working with family. And we say that with authority since there's a Volvo dealer in our (distant) family. He listened well, responded quickly, and gave us a superior dea And we say that with authority since there's a Volvo dealer in our (distant) family.
