I've been with Smythe Volvo since 1991 and have over thirty years experience in the automotive industry. The best part about working at Smythe Volvo is the local business feel of the company. Knowing almost every customer who walks into the shop is a great feeling. My favorite Volvo of all time was the C30. It was a small, fast and super-fun 2 door hatchback with a turbo 5 cylinder engine. When not at Smythe Volvo, you can find me kayaking or fishing somewhere in New Jersey.

To me, this dealership's reputation is based on the professionalism of its service operation. There isn't a person that I haven't worked with and have found everyone to be exceptional. Tom Coward per professionalism of its service operation. There isn't a person that I haven't worked with and have found everyone to be exceptional. Tom Coward personally drove me to the train station and called me twice during the day to go over various car issues. The car is a 1999 and in great shape primarily due to the care given by this dealership. I just leased a Volvo from the dealership because of the experience that my wife has had with her car. This whole operation is first rate. More

Sales folks willing to spend time with me: answering questions, reviewing cars available, test drives - no pressure, and they are readily available to answer questions by phone. Service: Courteous, p questions, reviewing cars available, test drives - no pressure, and they are readily available to answer questions by phone. Service: Courteous, polite, knowledgeable, they explain why actions were taken; they are very efficient at getting me in and out - and the loaner policy is outstanding. Also, I've on occasion dropped of a car *without* an appointment, due to some unexpected issue -- they are *very* accommodating here -- in most cases I got the car back the same day, and in worst case, no more than two or three days. For scheduled service appointments, car is ready when promised, if not sooner; and when I drop off the car, and haven't asked for a loaner, they always ask if I need a ride back home. Overall Volvos have been very reliable for us (driving them exclusively since 1987) - but more than that, it's Smythe that keep us coming back to the brand More

I'm on my fourth Volvo XC70 and have bought and had them serviced at Smythe Volvo over these many years. What sets Smythe apart are the people. From Kevin in the front and Sean in the back, and especially N serviced at Smythe Volvo over these many years. What sets Smythe apart are the people. From Kevin in the front and Sean in the back, and especially Nick, Tony, Tom and Doug at the service desk. Everyone is always very pleasant and more importantly helpful. This past winter while I was in Florida having my car servicesd at Germain Volvo in Bonita Springs I was told a needed a sigificant and costly part replaced. While I had confidence in the people at Germain I have more confidence in the people at Smythe, so I immediately got on the phone with them. I had Doug speak with the mechanic at Germain and confirm what needed to done. I worked closely with Kevin, Sean, Doug and Tony to resolve my problem and to minimize the cost of the repair. I wouldn't buy or have my volvo serviced at any other Volvo dealer in New Jersey. More
