My wife's Volvo is in need of a brake job and I don't know of a fair brake shop in my area. I really do not want to take it to a dealer if I can help it because I always seem to get screwed by them. So where can I take this thing in the West Linn, OC, Gladstone area? Thanks! |

Does "fair" and "brake shop" belong in the same sentence??? My buddy who is very mechanicaly inclined would only trust his Volvo to the Volvo dealer in Gladstone. I believe its Jim Fisher but I could be wrong. His newer V70 has been nothing but problematic and they've treated him pretty fair on everything. At least I assume so cause if they didn't I'm sure he wouldn't take it back to them ever. |
I can't seem to find a Volvo dealer in Gladstone...got any help for me? Nox: Thanks for the recommendation, I may take you up on it. If anyone knows anything else I'd love to hear it! |
Robert still work there?? If so, tell him I said hi. As far as OC/Happyrock....I would suggest, Palmer's, McCartney's, and Olson Bros. I dealt with all 3 of these people in my 10 years sellin' parts on the 'strip, these three places I would not hesitate to take my vehicles to. |
Ya, but even shops can screw 'em up. My parents had Les Schwab do the brakes on their Exploder a while back. My sister and her husband borrowed it for a Seattle Ikea run. In traffic a front caliper fell off. OOPS. I know plenty of VW shops up there, not sure how much other Euro cars they work on. Double J Motorworks comes to mind as someone to check. |
