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.
