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.

Although I purchased my used '08 Volvo at a Lexus dealership, and both Steve and Craig of the sales staff understood I would not be buying from Smythe, they were generous with time and advice and gen More

Being kind, polite and helpful is good business. Eventually behavior like this will increase your business. Thank you for your past business and thank you for posting such a nice review. It is very satisfying to know that we are doing the right thing. Hopefully in the future we'll see you in a Volvo again.

I had a tire defect and needed a new one on short notice. After attempting to replace it at two national chains closer to my house (neither of which had my tire in stock), I called Smythe. Not only were they More

Thank you for your kind words. This is the message we are trying to get out. Not only do we have factory trained and ASE certified technicians but we are almost always less expensive. I'm glad we could get you back on the road quickly.

Wow, Mike that is a stellar review! Thank you. This is not a fluke; rather, it is what we do every day. Honesty is one of the best tools we have to earn repeat business. You bring up a point that we battle against frequently. Many people think that a dealership is more likely to take advantage of a customer. That is not the case at Smythe Volvo. We see our customers and their children come into the shop time after time through the years. Its sounds cliché but we really do have a family atmosphere and relationship with our customers. We are fortunate to enjoy such loyalty and we treat that loyalty a precious commodity. See you at your next service.

I am glad you are happy and that we were able to work out a good solution. When we have a customer in need we try to look at the situation from the customer’s perspective. From this vantage point, it always makes sense to find a way to make the customer happy. Thank you for your business and for the thoughtful comments.

This ended up being a service call with Doug that moved easily into a sales conversation with Kevin and ultimately Steve. I say "easily" because the service that has been performed since 2006 on our XC90, More
