Dear Kimberlynn and Damon:
I wanted to pass along my compliments to your dealership, in particular to Tom O'Connor, Service Consultant and to the mechanic (name unknown) who serviced my 2007 Volvo V50.
Last week while enroute to Martha's Vineyard, my "Service Engine - Urgent" light came on just west of Springfield. I assumed it may have been as a result of my Volvo just being serviced at my local dealer prior to my trip. In a panic, I called your dealership from the side of the Mass Turnpike and spoke with Tom O'Connor. He said if I felt the vehicle was safe enough to drive, to come over right away, which I did.
Tom and your trusty mechanic had my car in and out within 1 hour! This was both amazing and a relief to me as it allowed me to arrive in time for my ferry booking, which would have been near impossible to rebook given the advance Memorial Day Weekend traffic volume. Your mechanic had seen this symptom before and knew how to perform a solid - better than temporary - fix, as a complete service repair required specific parts and a lot more time...which I had none of. This was the next best approach.
If there ever was an argument to go to your dealer who knows the brand inside and out, and what to look for, well, here it is! Tom also took the time to explain and write the cause of what was an errant electrical problem on my invoice, which he said would be helpful to show to my local dealer should the problem ever return or to get the repair completed to spec. And...the free car wash was the icing on the cake!
Thank you for taking me in with a moment's notice. You keep me moving. It is truly appreciated.
