My 2007 XC recently went off warranty and I'm looking for a local independent mechanic here in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. I live south in Sandy, but probably willing to drive a good distance for a legit mechanic. PLease let me know good and bad experiences. Thanks in advance.

 

It would be best of you asked other Volvo owners in your area. People here are spread so thin around that you many not find one that frequents the site.

So, I release you to use your human communication skill to real people that you can see, smell and touch (maybe not touch).
