They matched what we were looking for in a used Volvo. Everyone was extremely courteous and considerate of our time. They made sure that the used car delivered was in excellent condition all-around.

5 times at this dealership for 2 different repairs Volvo. 1st -4th time(s) was a Engine Cylinder Head Leak. $2000 later & 4 times back to this Dealer for the same repair & on the 4th time they said the Volv 1st -4th time(s) was a Engine Cylinder Head Leak. $2000 later & 4 times back to this Dealer for the same repair & on the 4th time they said the Volvo was ready, it was parked in the back of shop with a Huge Oil LEAK under the Engine compartment. They ( this Dealer ) said ( I ) had not tightened the Oil Drain Plug nor tightened the Oil Filter on my last Oil Change. Mind you this Volvo has been at this Volvo Dealership 3 previous times & I had not changed the oil in 2 1/2 months prior. There wasn't any Oil Leaking from the Filter or Oil Drain Plug prior to this servicing at this Volvo Dealer. They accused me of being the culprit... This just doesn't add up within the 4 visits for the same repair? Absolutely Not True! 5th time was Just to check engine for Codes. Just put it on their Computer & give me a read out of what needed to be replaced or repaired. Mind you NO REPAIRS Just a computer check with read out. No lift involved, no repairs just plug their Volvo Computer into my Volvo & give me the results... This was done BUT on this same visit from the back garage bay & then brought it back around to the front. In this short time & distance They (the Dealer) said, "oh by the way, your emergency brakes are frozen & it will not go forward or back up... I said to the Service Rep." My emergency brakes worked just fine driving here & no grinding or rubbing or stopping my car from moving forward nor reverse. When it was FIRST driven into the service bay for the Computer test nothing was said to me by either the mechanic nor the service rep. so it must have been fine on the way into the service bay. NOW after the computer test & driven out of the service bay to front of building the Emergency brakes do not work & my Volvo cannot be driven forward nor in reverse. This is when the service rep. says to me, Your Volvo is out front but it will not move because the Emergency brakes went & sometimes this happens... WHAT! Please help me figure this out So to resolve I offered to pay for all parts & that They (GENGRAS VOLVO of Meriden ) install & absorb the Labor. They said ( we each & everyone who had driven the car from front of building to service bay & from service bay back to front of building) did not use the emergency brake therefor we did not cause the damage... I will not refer this Dealership to anyone for a repair after their warranty is OUR expired... They have average to poor techs & take multiple times to fix one thing only to break another. They are on peace work, finish job as fast as possible & move on to the next job but they get Volvo straight repair time. So if a job requires 2 hours of time & they can quickly finish in 2 they get the full 4 hours of time & move on to the next job.... Fast & careless Work. IF MONEY IS NOT A PROBLEM, THEN tHIS DEALER IS place to go.BUT IF YOUR VOLVO IS OUT OF WARRANTY & NEEDS REPAIR ..... BE ADVISED, STAY AWAY POOR WORK, EXPENSIVE & REPEAT VISITS THAT WILL COST YOU MORE & THEY WILL END UP REPAIRING & THEN BREAKING SOMETHING ELSE. THEY ARE CONVENIENTLY LOCATED FOR US ALL AS THEY ARE THE ONLY 2 IN THE AREA & OWNED BY THE SAME OUTFIT & THEY KNOW IT. THEY ARE ALSO NOT A MEMBER OF THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS.

The whole experience of buying a new car at Gengras was terrific! This is our first Volvo and we needed to be "convinced" that the T-5 was the car we should buy. John and Tom were the best and giving us terrific! This is our first Volvo and we needed to be "convinced" that the T-5 was the car we should buy. John and Tom were the best and giving us a demo to use over the weekend clinched the deal for us. John even matched our preferred color scheme for the demo car. We ended up buying the car that we demoed. Smart salesmanship in action. But also appreciated that John and Tom are genuinely nice guys...didn't try to strong-arm us. We sure hope the service side of the business is as terrific at Customer Service as the Sales side of Gengras in Meriden. Jan and Chuck Kreitler More
I have been going there for service for 10 years. The prices for parts may be a tad higher elsewhere, but you get Volvo's quality parts and people who know how to work on Volvo's. They are accommodating prices for parts may be a tad higher elsewhere, but you get Volvo's quality parts and people who know how to work on Volvo's. They are accommodating and honest. They will tell you what needs to be done right away and what you can expect in the future. You can be shuttled to work or get a loaner for the day. As for sales, I most recently returned to Jola after she helped my mother find a car a few years ago. She made a nerve wracking experience fun and she was straightforward and realistic with me. What more can you ask for? I refuse to go anywhere else. ~Elisa More
I recently purchased a used Volkswagen Passat from Gengras Volvo after doing extensive online and in-person comparison shopping. I ended up driving one hour from my home in Stonington because Gengras Gengras Volvo after doing extensive online and in-person comparison shopping. I ended up driving one hour from my home in Stonington because Gengras Volvo had the model, year and mileage I was looking for in excellent condition at a good price. Our salesperson Yolanda Westerlund was friendly and helpful, arranging for he car to be brought to a local Volkswagen dealership and inspected, and later returning our expired license plates to the DMV for us. The manager Max Deselin promised to address some minor cosmetic imperfections in the car (scrapes on wheels and body) and all the repairs exceeded my expectations. I know that they worked hard to get me a good financing offer. In the month that I have owned and driven the car I am very happy with it. I will definitely return to Gengras when I am shopping for a new or used car in the future. More
