Riley Volvo Cars Stamford

The dealer service folks were not generally pleasant and refused to take responsibility for their mistakes. The driver door lock had to be replaced several times and once they told me they fixed it when in refused to take responsibility for their mistakes. The driver door lock had to be replaced several times and once they told me they fixed it when indeed they did not. I asked them to do a front end alignment - they said it didn't need it when it was obvious that it did. They finally accomplished the alignment but did such an incredibly poor job that within 3500 miles I had to replace the two front tires (at a cost of $400) and the car only had about 16,000 miles on it. There have been a number of other instances when the service department was inept and uninterested. This vehicle has been problamatic but it is due in part to poor service. I tried to get Volvo of Stamford management involved (both the owner and the sales manager who sold me the car) but they were not interested in helping because the car was under lease so in a real sense I could not do anything unless I sold the car and took a loss (which given the poor resale rate it was not an option). I did take the car to Volvo of Westport and their service department is outstanding - unfortunately they are 20 miles away not the 2 to Stamford Volvo. PS my car has been in the shop some 20 times in the past 2 years - my Volvo experience/ordeal will be over in about 15 months and I'm going back to Lexus where I can count on reliability and in those very rare service calls I can expect a pleasant and competent service experience.<br><br>Jeff More
