I have over thirty years of service here at Smythe Volvo. When I started here, I was pulling weeds, dumping oil buckets and doing general facility maintenance. Eventually I progressed from a Technician to a Master Technician, Service Advisor, Service Manager then Service Director. My favorite part of working here at Smythe Volvo is that we invest our business energy into safety. Over the years, we've had many customers who survived accidents because they were in a Volvo. Additionally, we've had many police officers who come in and bought a Volvo because they've been at the scene of an accident and seen how a Volvo saved a person's life. In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family, specifically going for walks with my three sons.

We have leased Volvos from Craig since 1993. We are on our tenth car,but who's counting! Our son just bought a preowned Volvo, so we are onto the next generation of Volvo owners.We love Smythe and all the our tenth car,but who's counting! Our son just bought a preowned Volvo, so we are onto the next generation of Volvo owners.We love Smythe and all the people that work there. Tom, Sean,Doug and Nick in the Service Department are the best. They make you feel comfortable asking questions, have no problem explaining what they have done and always have a smile for their customers. The quality of service is unparrelled.

Although my wife and I were quite disappointed that our brand new Volvo C-70 (less than 2600 miles) went dead and needed service, bringing it to Smythe Volvo turned out be a rewarding and excelent experien brand new Volvo C-70 (less than 2600 miles) went dead and needed service, bringing it to Smythe Volvo turned out be a rewarding and excelent experience. After the car died again just one day after Volvo On Call boosted and charged the battery, we knew it was something that needed attention. I immmediatly called Smythe Volvo and spoke with Sean Flanagan (Friday afternoon) regarding the possibility of bringing the car in early Saturday morning (the next day!). He gladly said he could squeeze me in and expressed his sadness and concern over the problem we were experiencing. I explained to him that we would contact Volvo On Call early Saturday morning and, once they had it running, I would drive it over (luckily, they are only 10 minutes away from my home). Volvo On Call arrived at my home a little after 8 a.m. and jump started the car. We agreed to leave it running for a few minutes before I drove it over. I drove to Smythe (completely uneventful) and it was riding very nice. Sean was only too happy to take the car in and attend to it almost immediately, apologizing once again. I waited in the customer's lounge while it was serviced and, in a short while, Sean said it was ready. He explained the problems and said Smythe was able to rewrite the software in the computer so this particular problem would not happen again. He also put in a brand new battery, since the old one had been discharged twice. At this time, Steve Sargent, my original salesperson, came over to inquire about the car (and me). We chatted for a while and he could not have been nicer nor more concerned. It should really be kept in mind that Smythe Volvo seems to be a small family and the people who lease or purchase their vehicles from them are treated as if they belong to that family. Friendliness, professionalism, courteousness are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind. They really do care about their product and the people who buy it. It just goes hand in hand with the dealership. Please feel free to contact me for anything additional or if unsolicited testimonials are ever needed. And let's just hope that the car runs as smoothly as Smythe does. Thank you for your time. Respectfully, Robert (and Donna) Zwillich More

The assigned ratings were given because Sean, Tom, and Doug took the time to listen to my problem, properly diagnose the problem, and effectively correct the problem in a cost efficient and timely manner. Doug took the time to listen to my problem, properly diagnose the problem, and effectively correct the problem in a cost efficient and timely manner. They also went above and beyond to give me one of their personal vehicles to use for a few days while they worked on my car, which allowed me to attend several business meetings and not disrupt my family or business. This dealership consistently goes above and beyond to ensure their customers are completely satisfied and that all of their issues have been properly addressed. More

Going to Smythe is like visting a Mom & Pop business, but with all the professionalism cultivated to mesh friendliness with businesslike and technically informed service.

When I entered the dealership I was greeted in a friendly and personable manner by Sean Flanagan. As I struggled to describe my car's problem, he skillfully identified what I was attempting to convey. Being and personable manner by Sean Flanagan. As I struggled to describe my car's problem, he skillfully identified what I was attempting to convey. Being impressed at a car dealership is not a description prior to my experience here I would ever have used. Mr. Flanagan made sure I was comfortable in the waiting room as I waited for my car. When ready, I was given a complete explanation of what had been done. There was no charge for this service because my car was purchased recently. I was appreciative. I would not hesitate to recommend SMYTHE. More
