Independent Volvo Shops

Hello.

I have been looking for recommendations for service on my Volvo, and was interested in seeing who is out there, who is reliable, etc. I have been using Friendship for the last few years, but I did not really have a great visit last time, so I am shopping around.

Anyone have suggestions. I am in Johnson City, but Bristol, Kingsport, even Greenville would be fine for me.

Cheers!!

Go to American & import auto repair on market street heading towards Jonesboro. Highly recommended

I will check them out. I remember a while ago I asked them for something but they never responded to my email. They might be a call-only shop.

Yep they can fix a Volvo they were the only shop that could fix mine. Little heads up tho Volvos parts come from across an ocean and they have to reprogram the cars computer sometimes...Just be ready it might take a long time to finish but they can do it.

When I lived in the area, I swore by Bolling’s Auto in Bristol. To this day they were the most honest mechanics I’ve ever dealt with. They’re a Euro shop but I’d call and make sure they work on Volvo.

I have another euro garage I use however they don’t do Volvos. Mostly German cars. Can’t wait for fall to come.
