Hello,

I worked at O'Hare from March '06 till Feb this year. I used to patronise Patrick's Volvo in Schaumburg, except I did not make much purchases and the only service I had on my 850 was the wheel alignment. The technicians at Patrick are highly skilled & up-to-date.

I used to say "Greetings from Chicagoland", which is now replaced by "Greetings from Narita, Japan"

. I wish I can say "Greetings from wherever the States" soon in the future.

Watch out for snow; be sure to have a good set of snow tyres/all-season tyres.

JPN

Hi JPN,

Sorry I haven't checked out this forum in awhile, so I see you've been to Patrick's Volvo, so you recommend them? I had price quotes from all around the area and they were actually the highest price. How are you liking Japan? My wife and I would like to go there once, among many other worldly travels that we have in mind, if we ever have the funds.

My wife and I used to live in Chicago but moved out to Lombard a little over 3 years ago after we got married. Now we live in Plainfield. One extreme to the other. Still getting used to that.
