Volvobrick Supersonic May 6, 2019 Share May 6, 2019 Wearnes, PA need carrots to fund the free coffee and cookies! Outside workshop can do decent jobs one from my own experience.

car50 Twincharged May 6, 2019 Share May 6, 2019 generally Volvo and Jaguar not so easy on the pocket for major servicing the better workshops outside are cheaper but not by very much, however still savings that is also one reason why resales of these cars are cheaper than some of their conti competitors Wearnes, PA need carrots to fund the free coffee and cookies!

Outside WS most can do. Not rocket science. If you bother to order parts online when needed, can be quite cheap (relatively). Reliable too (for previous models, current models I can't comment).

mersaylee Hypersonic May 8, 2019 Share May 8, 2019 Can share the online website please? A few...FCP euro, IPD, volvoparts etc... It’s cheaper to find out part number from those sites then buy off taobao for models available in China. Volvo (I never own Jags can comment) repair and maintenence very simple one.

Volvobrick Supersonic May 8, 2019 Share May 8, 2019 (edited) UK websites too, plus eBay, sometime Amazon. I like UK and German stores - they deduct the VAT and shipments are very fast and cheaper. I can get things from Germany in 2 days sometimes. Edited May 8, 2019 by Volvobrick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ministry_13 Neutral Newbie June 30, 2019 Share June 30, 2019 Dear all, I have recently purchase a second hand 2016 S60. I’m in a dilemma whether I should buy a extend warranty from a third party company. Can I also ask any for recommendations for Volvo Mechanics...thanks in advance for your advise. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic June 30, 2019 Share June 30, 2019 You just answered. A third party warranty is as good as none. Save it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvobrick Supersonic June 30, 2019 Share June 30, 2019 Volvo relatively easy to maintain (previous gens). S60 should have Japanese Aisin auto, also reliable. Aircon also good. I don't have experience with the new series of 3/4 cylinder engines though. Old 5 pots are tough. I can pm u my OK mechanic if you want. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamburger Hypersonic June 30, 2019 Share June 30, 2019 When u say extend warranty from 3rd party means you're currently covered. Just curious if u hv any claims so far? My guess is from a used car dealer that offered 3rd party insurance repair. Remember the one in sin Ming where many bought insurance for the autotrans? Collected enough and run road back to jb.

car50 Twincharged July 1, 2019 Share July 1, 2019 If you search sgcarmart for volvo specialists Gary engineering and Motor advantage Pop out Actually any decent sized reliable motor repair shops can do for volvo While there are internet reports and comments on problems with S60, generally for a 2-3 year S60, should not be a problem unless unlucky u get a lemon. If petrol version, fuel consumption is not good Best you send to Wearnes for a checkup for the first one, gives u a peace of mind Volvo servicing will be more expensive than Jap cars thats for sure unless u have time to look for parts yourselves ad do your research Dear all, I have recently purchase a second hand 2016 S60.

procdi Clutched July 10, 2019 Share July 10, 2019 Hi all! A noob Volvo driver here who just purchase a used 4.5 yr old V40 D2. I’m looking for recommendations on workshops in the west for servicing. Another question is, many here suggests buying parts on our own - does that mean you send your car to your workshop, ask them check what needs to be replaced, source out the parts yourself, then drive back with the parts and ask the workshop replace for you? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neost 6th Gear July 10, 2019 Share July 10, 2019 Volvo servicing will be more expensive than Jap cars thats for sure unless u have time to look for parts yourselves ad do your research Pay extra for the peace of mind. That's the main reason that I am still going back to Wearnes even after warranty. Furthermore, outside workshop is not cheap too ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
