Took my 1988 240DL in for oil leaks and engine overheating. They did fix the oil leaks, which were because of old cam/crank seals. However they also decided to ""go ahead and"" replace the throttle positioning sensor, oil separating unit, and motor mounts. What the f**k? 820$
I also had them put in a ""new"" water pump - they were not sure the old one was working or not. Why? Aren't you the f**king mechanic? At any rate, ""new"" water pump fails the day after I pick up the car. I take it back and they call to tell me it is probably a blown head gasket. Again, are you kidding. After explaining, again, how there was a four foot diameter puddle of coolant in my driveway directly under the water pump, they went ahead and put in a knew unit. They did however notify me it was a much more expensive unit than the first. Well, use quality parts and your costumers won't have to come back.
I digress. It was a shitty experience. I will never go back. I will tell everyone I know, with a Volvo, not to go there. These guys put the ""crook"" in ""crooked f**king mechanic"". They are the reason people mistrust this industry.
