Good understanding of my needs.

The salesman Sam had a good understanding of the car and gave me the guidance that I was seeking. I chose the B3 model with the Plus spec. The company kept to the time scale that I wanted. The end result is very pleasing. It arrived at the dealership on February 11th 2025. All of the extras that I required were fitted and they even gave me an additional number plate for my cycle rack.

Simply the best! Always ticks all the boxes!

Poole Volvo always ticks all the boxes. From the moment of walking into (as repeat customers) the showroom, we were very well looked after. John, The General Sales Manager, was very helpful and a great communicator. Bradley, the Salesman was very attentive and looked after us well. Joanna, on Reception went above and beyond, welcoming us with delicious hot chocolate and biscuits, even giving some water for our two dogs. She was very friendly and helpful. The showroom has a friendly air about it and is spotlessly clean. We love our new car and we love the treatment we received from Poole Volvo. We would 100% recommend them!

Another fantastic experience with Volvo Cars Poole!

Another fantastic experience with Volvo Cars Poole! The duo, Ledge & Luc (Leanne & Lucy), from the servicing team were amazing as always—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled smoothly. It’s always a pleasure bringing my car here, knowing it’s in such good hands. Highly recommend!

First time experience with this dealership

I recently moved to the area and had some issues with my Volvo. I visited Volvo Cars in Poole where they quickly booked my car in, assessed the necessary repairs which were under warranty, ordered the parts, and fixed it within 24 hours. Katie provided updates at each stage and offered professional and courteous service throughout.

Well, we don't change cars that often and things change it seems a lot more completed.
However the transaction from seeing the car trading in our old one and driving the new home was made as easy as it could be and very little stress thanks to Jordan Fleet who took as much time as was needed, nothing was to much trouble for him. His professional and good nature made the experience enjoyable. He is a credit to Vovo cars Poole.

Ok but could be better

Pleasant helpful staff but actual serving of vehicle could be better. Last year had to take car back within two days of service because car was losing power.
Had to arrange to get car transported back to garage as they refused to look at straight away. Then received an apology because they had fitted a faulty part.

This year received the car back and on way home message on screen appeared “confirm passenger airbag, “ Next day another message “ propulsion system needs service” Phoned garage and was told to ignore and delete as this can happen!

Great Customer Service

I'm happy with customer service I got from the company. I was torn between two models and was shown the difference between the two and was helped to find the model that ticked all the boxes. Speaking with the service team helped me get exactly what I was looking for.
