I'd like to hear the opinions (both positive and negative) on experiences you've had with Volvo specialty mechanics in the Durham area. I'm particulary interested in hearing about BECKER "ONLY VOLVOS" SERVICE, because the Better Business Bureau has no info available on this business. Right now, I'm looking for a trustworthy place to take a used Volvo that I might buy for a pre-sale inspection and evaluation. FYI, here's what the BBB has to say about other Volvo/euro import mechanic services: * Porterfield's (Rigsbee Ave) "A pattern of no response to customer complaints" * The Service Bay (Christian Ave) "1 complaint on record, resolved satisfactorily" * Crossraods European (Automall, Hwy 54) "Satisfactory standing with BBB, a member of the BBB customer satisfaction service." (or something like that, I don't remember exactly what it was called) * Euroclassics, Ltd. (Hillsborough Rd) "One unresolved complaint on record." Thanks in advance for any advice you might have. Kevin.

I took in my '84 for service a year ago, and they did quite a bit of work on it, which my mechanic in Miami, whom I've known a bit longer and trust, said was mostly unecessary. I would highly recommend Swedish Imports off 15-501 on the way to Chapel Hill from Durham. A few months ago, my car would sporadically refuse to catch, but be fine the next day. They replaced the fuel relay for 1/2 their original estimate of $60, and the car has been fine ever since. If you also want to know about body shops for hopefully unecessary future reference, I would try either the Brown Brothers off Old Erwin or Matthews Brothers. Good luck! Lester Chen

Thanks to all those who posted and e-mailed with advice on Volvo mechanics. It has since become moot, because I decided to go with a VW instead. But other Volvo owners out there might be interested to know that according to several e-mails I've received, Swedish Imports on 15-501 sounds like everyone's favorite. Regards, Kevin.
