User Reviews of Volvos Only

Great Experience Many Times Over

Four years ago I bought a 240DL wagon and was quoted a large sum of money for a new overdrive sender unit. A friend suggested that I take it to Volvo's only and have their mechanics look at it first. Volvo's...

wrong part

They promised me that they had state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment that would find the problem, so I brought my car in. Then they forgot to contact me for several days while my car languished in their shop,...

Actually, I had a good experience there!

The driver's seat in my 240 wagon had broken so the back was totally loose and floppy. Dangerous as heck because in an accident it would have just totally collapsed backwards, and given me no support at all. I...

If you love Volvo's, don't go to Rich's.

I bought a car for my son from Rich's Volvos, and it was the worst experience I've ever had. The car was in great shape, nothing mechanically wrong and looked good inside and out. Little did I know that 3...

Scam Artist's Only

I bought a car for my son from Rich's Volvos, and it was the worst experience I've ever had. The car was in great shape, nothing mechanically wrong and looked good inside and out. Little did I know (3 thousand dollars and a test drive later) that I found out it had a branded title once I got to the DMV, when Rich clearly stated 3 times it had a clean title. He is a law breaker and a scam artist. Do yourself a favor and spare yourself the stress and money/time loss. He's a fast talking liar and a money scamming idiot.

Rich Saved my life, not once, but 3 times!

wow, when my friend heard my story about how Rich has helped me during the last few months with my car, she suggested I get online with citysearch to tell my story about his business and my experiences. It...

Inconsistent

I'll say this much: He does have some good cars. Too bad he has no idea how to care for them. If you're interested in any of his cars, do yourself a favour and run a Carfax report first so you don't have to...

Not bad- but not spectacular

Rich is nice.. but he kept the car well beyond when he said he would have it done for a very basic repair, e.g. fixing a broken seat..

Don't go to Volvo only

Richard Volvo only is a bad place to go, I bought a car from him, he made the car sound like it is a really good car. said he has put tons of parts into he car he really didn't. He can talk the talk trying to...

perhaps the worst car dealer in portland avoid!

Shoddy rebuilt cars, unsafe, not sure how he still has any kind of license to do business after all these years of ripping people off.

See above reviews, everyone here says he is a cheat and he is.

Sold me a used volvo, claimed he had taken care of the car for 20 years. Turns out it was a salvage title. Had to rebuild myself otherwise the car would have been a total monetary loss. The quality of the work...

Avoid this shop/dealer, go elsewhere.

Rich at Volvo's Only seems like a nice guy but he's totally one of those used car shyster types. i bought a used car here and ignored the warning signs (he said both cars i test drove belonged to little old...

Big Talkers, Little Results

I would not reccomend having your Volvo worked on here. The first time I went to pick up my car, the work wasn't completed. They acted as if it was my fault because I was in a hurry. When I offered to leave...

A for expertise, B for location, D- for personality

Out of its tiny garage, this family run repair shop could no doubt fix any Volvo in town. I had some minor work done there and it was obvious that they knew what they were doing. The owner was knowled...

Never trust used car salesmen!

I was not surprised by my bill after having some work done on my Volvo. After examining the bill, I noticed they upped the price of labor and downed the parts, so the total was the same as what they had...
