Sorry in advance if this is in the wrong section, but I'm looking for recommendations on a mechanic who specialises in the XR5 Turbo and/or Volvos in Melbourne, preferably south eastern suburbs but also open to travel elsewhere if the workshop really knows their stuff about this platform
Thanks in advance |

Due to the drop in Volvo popularity and the demise of SAAB they have had to diversify to survive. Many many years ago I worked in Mt Waverley and there was a a specialist Volvo workshop and they were always busy. There is a Volvo Forum OZVolvo maybe worth a visit or the Volvo owners club.

I know different state, but you won't find a more versed 5 cylinder mechanic than Jamie (I know him personally) or any other car for that matter.
