Re: Independent Volvo Repair Shops in NYC (fodorr)

New Jersey is the closest that I would trust. Nick from Highbloom Auto, tell him Mike with the S60R recommended you from NY. His number is 973-661-4747. He is only open Mon-Fri. 9am - 5pm.

 

I also go to a Star Shell located on Francis Lewis Blvd. I know both owners and can give you their number. They are reputable and honest and do very good work, but not cheap.

 

I'm pretty sure you can find someone here in Manhattan using google search. Stay away from the stealerships though.

+1 on Nick http://********************/smile/emthup.gif . And you can tell him George with the 400,000+ mile S70 recommended him to you.

Also - Nick's brother, Jim, owns VoVo Clinic in Red Bank, NJ, if you're ever down that way - exit 110 off the GSP, if memory serves. I'd also recommend him, and he also knows my car.

Re: (thewayyoumoveme)

I paid $50 for my JRL mod in the bronx.

Body Shop that does excellent color matching, I know a few, one in particular is in Bklyn. Excellent work, and 452 is Black Sapph? As far as lowering springs and cambers I have a guy here in the Bronx that is pretty good and not that expensive, probably cut a deal for those and the brake lines.....

Re: (thewayyoumoveme)

Most of the muffler shops in the Bronx on Jerome Avenue are pretty decent. It is right under the train off of the cross Bronx expressway, I will get the receipt and post the address for you, if I have my R back by this weekend I will even meet you around here and go with you. The paint shop is in Brooklyn, G&B Collision (718) 230-9793, It's an auto body shop, they do impeccable work though, the owners name is Ellis. And the cambers and springs you can pretty much do anywhere, when you do your JRL mod you should be able to find someone to do it, if not my other mechanic is close by to there on fordham road.. If not nick at highbloom auto, I believe he is in Bloomfield, NJ should be able to do your springs and cambers and stuff.

nice conversation. actually i am also looking for a volvo repair shop in new york. maybe i'll try to visit this new york auto repair shops mentioned in this conversation.

 

If you're not too far from here, check this guy out: http://beaverbrookautomotive.com/

Pete worked on my car, did my oil pan-o rings and noticed I needed the turbo oil cooler return lines done. Had the car on the lift when I came back to pick it up and walked me through the car, showing me everything. Showed me my VC was replaced and driveshaft was in good condition. Def. a knowledgeable guy.

 

update: any new suggestions for trustworthy NYC-area mechanics?
