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 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

This ended up being a service call with Doug that moved easily into a sales conversation with Kevin and ultimately Steve. I say "easily" because the service that has been performed since 2006 on our XC90, easily into a sales conversation with Kevin and ultimately Steve. I say "easily" because the service that has been performed since 2006 on our XC90, now at the 100K mark, literally sold us on purchasing another Volvo specifically through this dealership. After looking into options, we're more than likely going to go with the XC60 T6! If these folks ever have bad days, the customer never knows it! Thanks as always for the great communication, service and support throughout. Tim Crow More

I purchased my first Volvo from Smythe. And it was the first of many satisfying experiences. I kept the first Volvo for more than 20 years and always had it serviced at Smythe. They kept it running i first of many satisfying experiences. I kept the first Volvo for more than 20 years and always had it serviced at Smythe. They kept it running in top notched condition for in excess of 500 thousand miles. The service was always excellent and the team of mechanics were dependable, reliable, informative and very professional and above all, always courteous. My second, third and fourth Volvo I also purchased from Smythe, all three were serviced at Smythe. I have had a total of 5 Volvos—1979 DL, 1988 240, 1994 940, 2000 S80, 2006 S80, all of which were serviced at Smythe. I still own three of the five (the 1988, 2000 an the 2006) with 500, 200, and 66 thousand miles respectively. Infrequently, I have had at least one of the Volvos I owned serviced at other Volvo dealerships, but for some reason I always feel the need to go back to Smythe, probably because of the quality of work and the attentiveness of the Team of mechanics at Smythe—I feel that I can unquestionably depend on them to do the highest quality work the first time around—and that has always been the case for the last 30 years or more of my experience with them. I have never been dissatisfied or unhappy with the quality of work performed at Smythe. And mainly because of the friendliness and quality of work produce by the Volvo Team—Sean, Kevin, Nick, Tony, Doug, Tom, Gary and all the floor mechanics, I have and will continue to very highly recommend Smythe Volvo to anyone who plans to purchase or have a Volvo serviced.
