Tom Kelley Volvo Cars, 865 Grand National Dr, Fort Wayne, IN 46804, USA have owned my 2008 S80 3.2 since Aug2018 and love her. if i didn't, i wouldn't have paid for new SCL [steering column lock] + r&r & reprogram new one to the car. i have searched a whole lot and found no other dependable solution. i want to wholeheartedly endorse Tom Kelley Volvo Ft Wayne Service Manager Tim Bohn and TKVS Asst Mgr Ralph Gosch, as well as G & R Towing, La Porte, IN, Bailey and Andrew. South Bend is no Dogpatch, but it is 80 miles from each of 3 dealers. I checked BBB for all, remembered bad service from one, and picked the best BBB rating with Kelley Volvo. All the people mentioned went above and beyond the call to coordinate this. She starts perfectly again! (28Jun: so far, so good!) kelley volvo service (tim & ralph) reduced $785 estimate to $699.
