Alternate Workshops for Volvos

[Wildswan]

hi,

anyone has a quality workshop that specialises in volvo to recommend? i find SM Motors out of way for me and i plan to go to SM only for major maintenance.

Which part of the island you prefer?

[Wildswan]

hi brick,

i prefer western part of singapore. but if there is a very good one elsewhere, i will be very happy to travel to any part of singapore (i used to travel to sin ming drive to have my old car repair).

 

thank you,

Hi there...

 

Would you be able to advise if BVO or Autofix is better?

 

What are their specialities, ie.. is one better than the other dependent on the model? What about the latest S60 or S80, do you know if they can handle them?

 

Also, what kind of $ are we looking at for a normal 15k km servicing?

 

Thanks in advance.....

 

btw, is BVO a short form?

[Turbobrick]

I've been to both and must say BVO has more Volvo experience No particular model specialty and normal servicing should not run past $200.

 

BVO is the shop name.

BVO is good for Volvo and Autofix is good for Opel.

Hi Gavin,

 

Is it cheaper to get parts like Volvo oil filter and expendables from BVO or from Unico itself?

[Turbobrick]

Parts prices are cheap at SM Motors, they've revised their prices early this year and now similar price between SM and Unico, sometimes Unico gives extra 5-10% off, used to be 20% no questions asked when SM's markup was high.

May i know the address and tel no of BVO? Thanks!

[Mondeo]

Sorry, exactly address I do not have May other can help?

[Turbobrick]

I think BVO address is Blk 17 Sin Ming Ind Est #01-111

[Fastforward]

Normal servicing should not be any problems, however with the newer cars, I suggest you go back to SM. I took mine out to BVO to fix a cooling system problem and to be honest I should have gone back to SM in the first place.

thought of going there to replace my shocks for my 316... from your suggestion now, i guess i will head to PerformanceMotors, JuzzForCars, StamfordTyres or TropicalSuccess then...

Hi,

 

Can you elaborate a little more on your experience for the benefit of all ?

 

do they have a computer to chk the new cars? how 'clean' n 'tidy' was the job ?

 

was the cost saving significant ?
