Best Volvo dealership around! Love them! I have been a customer of Steingold Volvo for 19 years, and I will always buy my Volvos there! Their is only 1 reason why a car dealership thrives on I have been a customer of Steingold Volvo for 19 years, and I will always buy my Volvos there! Their is only 1 reason why a car dealership thrives on repeat business..., their customer service is exceptional! It's not the car buying experience people dread! Manny & Leslie have instilled their same values in the next generation of Bernardo's and as a result, Michael is friendly, straight forward, honest, and works hard to put you in the right car for your needs and budget. He could not have made the car buying experience any easier. We literally walked into the dealership one Saturday morning to look at cars, and by 4:00pm, drove home with the newest addition to our 3 Volvo fleet! Sue & Richard in the Service Department are GREAT, and Tony is always there to help in anyway he can! Everyone is SO friendly, I just love them all! More

Truly The Best Dealership Around! I recently purchased a 2017 Volvo S 90. This is the 5th vehicle that I purchased at Steingold. Michael, Stephen, and their mom Lesley are the best.

3 1/2 hours for routine service.

While the vehicle was in, Steingold performed recall service to replace the spare tire winch cable. I arrived on-time for my 9:00 AM appointment. The vehicle didn't go in for service until 9:30 AM - no explanation given. The service took 3 1/2 hours. In my estimation, an oil change should not take longer than 30 minutes, a tire rotation and wheel balance not more than one hour, and 20 minutes to replace the T valve. Allowing for the 30 minute delay in getting my vehicle to service, the total service time, conservatively, should not have been longer than 2 hours - the service receipt did not indicate the "hour"s required for the services. Perhaps the manufacturer's standard service time to repair spare tire cable 1 1/2 hours, Had Steingold advised me that the service would take 3 1/2 hours, I would have made other arrangements. My previous service experiences at Steingold were good. Maybe this latest experience was an abnormality - they seemed to be overwhelmed with phone calls and service arrangements. I would recommend Steingold for warranty service, but I would advise Volvo owners to ask how long the service will take when making an appointment. More

We weighed the pros and cons of ke I had a very good purchasing experience with Michael Bernardo. Mike spoke frankly and locgically about my 2012 S60. We weighed the pros and cons of keeping and trading in. With Mike's help, I eventually came to the conclusion that it would be in my better interest to seriously consider and eventually purchase the 2013 S60 that I had researched on-line. The newer S60 has far less mileage than my 2012. With the warranties available and of course the service record of Volvo, really helped me make the an easy decision. I have since driven over 150 miles in my new 2013 S60 and it is and amazing ride. I'm very happy with my decision to purchase . Thanks Mike, it was a good buying experience. More
