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.

My family has two cars bought from Smythe Volvo and we have them serviced by them, too. Firstly, their sales department, headed by Kevin Flanagan, is the anti-dealer. I advocate to anybody I know who is c have them serviced by them, too. Firstly, their sales department, headed by Kevin Flanagan, is the anti-dealer. I advocate to anybody I know who is considering a Volvo at all to call Kevin because he is on their side. So many people I know are wary of dealers (including me) but I gladly send my friends to Kevin because he is going to give you the straight scoop on the cars, how they stack up, no-pressure, and a very fair deal. That sort of knowledgeable, respectful, no-pressure approach is one big reason Smythe is one of the top dealers in the nation. Now on to service, headed by Sean Flanagan. Another Flanagan, another stand-up guy, and another first rate operation. Also, the team of service advisors are professional, patient, and upbeat, regardless who you get. There have been many occasions where they have advised me how I can more simply or less expensively address an issue, when service really needs to be done, and have also stood behind all work done. Seriously, these guys are the best. Just look at their old school building, with everybody working in the same space, parts, service, service bays, no fancy waiting room with espresso machine and you can see that it is the people that makes Smythe special, and that is the root of their success - and a great testament to the power and longevity of character.

We own several Volvos. The quality of the service department is one reason that we continue to buy our new Volvos at Smythe. This visit was for routine maintenance and check-up for my 1993 Volvo 245 department is one reason that we continue to buy our new Volvos at Smythe. This visit was for routine maintenance and check-up for my 1993 Volvo 245 Wagon. The auto body remains in excellent condition. However, as you would expect in a car that is almost 20 years old, mechanical wear & tear in the suspension is progressing. Sean met me at the service counter. I then went for a road test w/ Doug. He patiently explained what work should be done until I get a new replacement wagon, probably later this spring, and what things could wait. Once again, the work done by the service department kept the car going. R Rosenbaum Summit, NJ PS - As I am writing this, I just got home from driving the car after a 6" snowstorm. The car handled beautifully & comfortably in all respects. More

From the purchase to the service I am treated as if I am #1. They go out of their way to accommodate you. I drove in yesterday for a replacement part and expected to be given a date for the service.
