Hi All and Happy New Year. A good friend is assisting her sister undergoing radiation treatment. The sister has a recently purchased S60 and they need a shop for basic service and check over in the Marietta, GA area. Any recommendations? -- Dave

David,

The Marietta area is my turf. Your friend needs to contact Professional Swedish Repair on Lower Roswell Rd. Talk to Phillip.

https://www.atlprorepair.com

Current rides: 2005 Volvo S80 2.5T, 2003 Volvo V70 2.4NA, 1973 Volvo 1800ES (getting ever closer to road worthiness)

An S60 is a front wheel drive / all wheel drive model.

I hope, wish, pray, and ask that your good friend and her sister immediate recovery and is back in the pink and right as rain soonest.

Well yes Kitty-I am aware of the S60 being a FWD car - a Volvo FWD car and here I've posted in the RWD section and lo and behold--got a response. I posted in the FWD/AWD section when I posted here, as well. Thanks for your suggestions.--Dave

Sorry Dave.

I did not see your familiar handle at the time. Reflexive response.

Sorry about that. I'll be more mindful.

An update -- following Kitty's suggestion I found three indy Volvo shops in Marietta and a regular BB poster who lives in the area suggested on the AWD section a specific shop. Deborah's sister is undergoing radiation treatment and they're not quite ready to deal with the car issues (no emergency) but at least they now know what shop has had a BB'er recommendation. thanks, Dave

that Parts source that I have been flogging here is in Atlanta.
No doubt they have shops around Marietta that call them for parts.
They cud be a source.
