For the information of Fellow Volvo owners I'm offering the names of the three places I most trust with my car. I'd love to hear of others around the country if you have them.

Landsman Motors, Victoria, BC
I've known Peter for years. He used to do all my work when he lived in Ontario. I can't say enough good things about him as a person and a mechanic.

Appco Motors, Waterdown, Ontario
Currently my regular mechanic is Thomas at Appco. A brilliant, honest, hardworking guy who only works on Volvos and antique Porshes (I have a bumper sticker that reads: "My other car is a Volvo")

I have had my car towed as far as 400 miles to both Peter and Thomas rather than let anyone else touch them.

I recently discovered Paul and Mike at Ashland Motors in Ashland, Massachusetts. No fuss, no nonsense. They do beautiful work and on three occasions have got me in and out the same day and saved me missing a show. Great guys.
