I was born and raised in the Windy City (Chicago). Moved to SoCal in 1986 and now a new resident of Arizona. My wife of 26 years and I enjoy playing golf. We have a son, 24 years old, who resides and works in Portland, Oregon. We have two Shitzu’s, Sami and Momo. I’ve been on the aftersales part of the auto industry for going on 37 years. I started with the awesome Volvo brand in 1992, the inception of the 850 model. Been witness to a lot of transition, Volvo is the worlds safest vehicle and continues to be the leader of safety technology.

I like this dealership. (Elegant, well-laid out, comfortable.) Tony Alamada treats customers with dignity and respect. When I'm ready for a new Volvo, I will call Tony. (Elegant, well-laid out, comfortable.) Tony Alamada treats customers with dignity and respect. When I'm ready for a new Volvo, I will call Tony. I greatly appreciate the Uber lifts to and from. I live only a few miles away but too far to walk so very appreciative for a ride home while you work on my auto. I always had trust in the mechanics there but now I'm not so sure. To me, your Service Dept. has too much employee turnover as far as service reps. And it seems like the warm helpful ones leave and the colder ones stay. New guy Josh was good the other day. HOWEVER, I am quite upset to learn my auto was NOT test drove after the windshield recalibration as I was told it was. (Miles IN was same as miles OUT so no test drive was done.) Shame on Volvo to have NOT provided the full service that I had to pay $75 above my $0 deductible for "VOLVO quality service". I did inform Joshua when I realized that the test drive was NOT done, that IF an issue arises because quality control was NOT done, I will hold Volvo responsible. More

The 20K mileage service went without any issues. In and out within a day. Fairly sure it was mostly an oil and filter change with just an all over vehicle inspection.

I’m not sure if this was a fluke or not, but it took Volvo Cars of Gilbert several days to fix my vehicle… in the end, all it really needed was a new battery… which was under warranty. I was told it too Volvo Cars of Gilbert several days to fix my vehicle… in the end, all it really needed was a new battery… which was under warranty. I was told it took so long to fix because a lot of their technicians were sick. While I understand, the reality is that I had an appointment that they couldn’t keep. I had to get a rental car at my own expense so I could get around on the weekend and to and from work for 3 days. I then left for a business trip and my car was still not repaired. To their credit, they sent an uber (upon my request) to transport my partner who picked up my car for me while I was away. At least my service advisor, Michael, was polite and pleasant to deal with. But when my lease is up, I don’t think I will get another Volvo - just my experience. More

I dropped off my car for service the evening before.

After further inspection of the car after I left my door panel was damaged and no one told me of this. I called immediately and was told to send an email and pictures to Josh. Josh followed up with an email on Monday letting me know they ordered a new door panel. It would be 12 to 14 days. They would call when it arrived to schedule the install. There was no apology or explanation. More
