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.

I'm on my fourth Volvo XC70 and have bought and had them serviced at Smythe Volvo over these many years. What sets Smythe apart are the people. From Kevin in the front and Sean in the back, and especially N serviced at Smythe Volvo over these many years. What sets Smythe apart are the people. From Kevin in the front and Sean in the back, and especially Nick, Tony, Tom and Doug at the service desk. Everyone is always very pleasant and more importantly helpful. This past winter while I was in Florida having my car servicesd at Germain Volvo in Bonita Springs I was told a needed a sigificant and costly part replaced. While I had confidence in the people at Germain I have more confidence in the people at Smythe, so I immediately got on the phone with them. I had Doug speak with the mechanic at Germain and confirm what needed to done. I worked closely with Kevin, Sean, Doug and Tony to resolve my problem and to minimize the cost of the repair. I wouldn't buy or have my volvo serviced at any other Volvo dealer in New Jersey. More

I have a 2003 Volvo that is long past warranty. I took the vehicle to a local garage and was advised that the turbo charger was blown and I had to replace it. He further advised that he could do the job the vehicle to a local garage and was advised that the turbo charger was blown and I had to replace it. He further advised that he could do the job for $1,300.00. I was concerned about the difficulty of the job and had the vehicle towed to Smythe Volvo. I was greeted by the Service Manager Sean who waited 45 minutes past their shop closing hours. I might add it was the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. He kept his family plans waiting in order to make sure my needs were met. I received a phone call on Tuesday morning. Sean advised that it was not the entire unit but only an intake hose. The repair was done promptly and for under $300.00. I have heard time after time "avoid the dealer, they will take advantage." I have heard that dealership service people work off of commissions. This could not be further from the truth at this dealership. I went to meet with the dealership manager to praise my service experience. I was pleased to find out it was the service manager's brother. They are a family business not a big corporate dealership. If you are looking for clean, honest, inexpensive work on your volvo I highly recommend Smythe Volvo of Summit New Jersey. Say hello to Sean for me! Customer for life, Mike H More
