Excellent service buying an EX30 at Volvo Exeter. George listened to what we wanted and provided all the information we needed without being overbearing. Test drive organised quickly.

Just found out after taking apart my car to check the cabin filter that it hasn't been replaced in over 5 years and I had a service on July of the year before saying the cabin/pollen filter looked ok
Very disappointed and angered by this as I paid for a major service and didn't receive this.

A stress free experience at Volvo Exeter. All of the staff were brilliant; a particular thank you to George CleelandSmith, Taylor and Darren. There was no pressure just lots of information and advice. George spent several hours with me and then provided excellent backup care after I had purchased my car.

I like Volvo and this dealership…

I like Volvo and this dealership treated my dad with respect and were very helpful when he was buying his new XC60. But he had problems with his parking sensors one of them was faulty they sorted this under warranty which was good of them 2 months before his warranty expired 2 more senses went wrong but he didn’t report it until after. I told him to let them know that it’s the same set of sensors on the rear. To let them know when they started playing up they didn’t want to hear it. Out of warranty means £££££. The tried to offer him £600+ billion for sorting two faulty sensors on the same wiring loom as the previous one that went faulty. Safe to say he won’t be renewing his car as a Volvo.custome service went downhill then.
