thanks!
I know it has been many years since your question was posted, but if you or anyone needs a volvo mechanic, there is only 1 place. Contact volvochicago@live.com and I promise you that not only will you be dealing with the nicest volvo mechanic but also the most knowledgeable, most professional, best work ethics, most understanding, best quality and also cheapest. You ask yourself how is that possible to be the best yet the cheapest? I don't know, I guess you have to contact him and ask him why he cares so much about people and fixing their cars instead of money like everybody else. I have 2 volvos and would never go anywhere else for the service as long as he is around.Hi, I would like to find a nice independant Volvo mechanic in the Chicagoland area.

i live quite a distance from private volvo mechanic. Chicago and could have transferred my car's service closer to home, after I tried His service it's worth the drive to be treated so well . The repair and prices, service was great he fixed all problems to perfection . To me is Well worth the drive! Dealerships close to my home don't compare with his quality I used to spent lot money in other dealers but was never that happy like with Private Volvo mechanic Chicago I will come to him whatever my next car is not just volvo . His email to contact him 24 hours he reply's fast

Double post here so...
After reading several messages here, I have decided to contact volvochicago@live.com and he sure responded quick, within minutes we agreed upon taking my car up to his workshop for an inspection the next day. I talked to him on the phone and he reckon with my car being up in the 200k+ miles, the overheating problem is most likely attributed to the dust/film buildup on the radiator thus causing the fan to overwork.
Here are some of the pictures of the original factory part with the date code.

I ended up having to replace the radiator (volvo part), the fan (german fan), new temp sensor, and he even threw in a thermostat just because he had one laying around! Same Volvo parts, excellent workmanship!

I probably spent more money on this old car than I should but I feel so good about it because everything else on the car are still good, better to keep it as second car or pass it along to family member!
Overall I am very happy with volvochicago@live.com and will bring my car to him again!

I have been using my IM for 30 years, but I don't make repeated comments within single thread touting his expertise. If you call Sean, you will receive the same response. What do think will be the answer, "No, I don't want to see your car?".
Such redundancy reeks of spam and a personal agenda.

Could not agree more
Could not agree more,You will not find a more decent and honest man. This mechanic is at the top of his game. Knows Volvos inside and out. I know I have had Volvos for over 20 years. Do yourself a favor if you own a Volvo that no longer is covered by factory warranty have Volvochicago@live.com take care of your car. You will not be disappointed and will save a bundle.
I respectfully disagree with the poster above.
I see nothing wrong with recommending a local independent mechanic in a thread seeking the same.
The date of original post is irrelevant as mechanics change/retire /relocate over time.
In fact, I would like to recommend Private Volvo Mechanic as well because of MY experience with him.
He's been working on my 2 Volvos for at least 2 years now and has saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars. He's also a certified Volvo Mechanic.
Patrick Volvo had basically been ripping me off for 3 years before I got smart and found a cpl of posts in an "old" thread on another forum. Patrick wanted $1700 for a full brake job on my 08 S80 and told me I couldn't get ceramic pads! I got my ceramic pads and new rotors from volvochicago@live.com out the door for $700!
Great guy, great value and I am happy to recommend his services to any Volvo owner.
Count me as one happy customer.

Good Chicago Area Mechanic
Try him, you won't be disappointed.

I have personally known and dealt with the Gentleman behind volvochicagi@live.com and can say without hesitation that his knowledge and insight to Volvo's is the best I have ever seen and would recommend him in an instant. He can practically diagnose problems over the phone and his prices and ability to provide parts is second to none. He has saved me hundreds of dollars and hours of running around trying to find the most competitive costs.
Try him, you won't be disappointed.

Chicago Area mechanic
I can personally recommend volvochicago@live.com to provide your Volvo with more than competitive pricing. I have used him for quite some and he has never failed to fix any problem that I have had. His prices are very fair, hundreds cheaper than a dealer, and he has access to parts for any model. Over the years he has saved me hundreds, if not thousands and has kept me from having to run all over town getting quotes from other shops.
Try him once and you will be back again I promise.
