Blanding Automotive

I took my Volvo here as they call themselves «Volvo Specialists». We were informed by another mechanic shop that there was an issue with our transmission and even if the ABS module was repaired there was an internal problem with the transmission that would be very expensive to repair and not economical considering the age of our auto. We brought the auto to Blanding Automotive for a second opinion. Mr. Oerman informed me and my husband that if the ABS were repaired it would fix the jerking problem we were experiencing. Mr. Oerman said he pays Volvo $ 14,000 a year to have access to their computer codes and he was better able to diagnose our car than the other mechanic. We trusted him! BIG MISTAKE!!! Well after paying almost $ 900 and picking the car up on a Friday, the next Monday the car was doing the exact same thing! I called Mr. Oerman the next day and he kept putting me off. So we were out $ 900 and still had the same issue and it was definitely the transmission! I would never go here again!!!

I had my water pump, timing belt and tensioner done here around 10k miles ago just as routine work. A week or so ago the belt popped off, my engine jumped time and needed a rebuild or new engine. Opted just to buy a new car but I should not have been put in this position after spending over a grand here. Do not trust their work.
