Complaint Review: KEN GARFF - VOLVO SOUTHTOWNE - VOLVO CARS OF NORTH AMERICA - Sandy Utah

Ken Garff Volvo Southtowne closed its doors in November of 2008.

Volvo cars are built in Sweden.  Not Switzerland.

Just to let you know that I am a volvo mechanic and I know how easy it is to put a hole in the oil pan. But I your wife was driving for 30 minutes and then the light came on, she must have hit something. If you have a hole in your oil pan, like i have seen, you would have noticed the oil light come on in the first five minutes. The oil sensor on those cars are very sensitive. Also dont you think you would have seen some oil dripping when you picked the car up if they did it. I just hate when people give the techs a bad name. Its not the techs fault that the brakes squeaked its volvo. Note to ANYONE buying a car of any brand, Dont buy the model year of the car, they always have the most problems.

I want to make a formal apology to all "SWISS" car manufactures (if there are any?) that I may have offended. Without doing my due diligence on exactly where my illustrious dream machine was crafted, I unintentionally focused my wrath on the SWISS when the real culprits behind my bucket of sh*% are the SWEDES....Those SWEDES! LOL! Thanks for the correction Debbi. For my infraction I will now continue to buy Swiss cheese, chocolate and army knifes to make re-numerations for my ignorance. OK give me a pass here. This was the first (and definitely LAST) Volvo I've ever bought. My wife fell in love with the S40 body style change and just had to have it. I succumbed, and without checking Volvo out online, or even more prudent checking Ken Garff out on the BBB or here at ripoffreport.com. Don't make my mistake, I could have easily avoided much grief by reviewing all of the similar gripes against the S40 and countless complaints against Ken Garff and their "Almighty Dollar" establishment. The most ironic thing about my entire experience with Ken Garff is hearing their asinine motto on the radio and having to read it every time I see their ads, "Ken Garff, we back up every car we sale!" I know, I know, apparently I neglected to read the fine print. "Ken Garff, we back up every care we sale!** **Excluding: *The Vovlo S40 *Wreck-less hack jobs done on your brakes by "professional" service department that could result in potential vehicle fatality. *A service department suffering from "selective amnesia". *Punctured oil pans you may receive while our "professionally" staffed service department is fixing the last mess they did on your brakes. *Responsibility for actions, Integrity, Accountability and pretty much anything else you'd expect from a dealer after handing over nearly $30,000 bucks. Don't make my mistake. Due your due diligence on a dealer before you sign the dotted line.

Sorry to hear about all of the problems you are having with your S40. I don't have an answer for you however I thought I would point out for your future use: Cheese = Switzerland Volvo = Sweden
