University Volvo

This is my second Volvo from this dealership which probably says something about our trust. I found AJ and Greg to be some of the most straightforward people in the car dealership business. I always c probably says something about our trust. I found AJ and Greg to be some of the most straightforward people in the car dealership business. I always consider the alternatives but after trying (hard !) I came back and bought the second Volvo from AJ. It was a pleasure working with him, he's always responsive and without the usual tricks that the car salesmen are known for. He seems to know his business very well and he's also knowledgeable about car specs, a huge plus for me. The fact he was responding to my emails in (almost) real time increased my consideration for him. My impression after 2 purchases and negotiations with University Volvo is that they will go to great extent to earn the business. I wish I was living closer to their dealership. Hope the review helps. More

After starting out with another Volvo dealer and having a terrible experience, AJ (and Greg) were fantastic to work with.

I have been a huge fan of Internet based vehicle purchases over the past ten or so years. I hate the wasted time spent in a dealership when I know what I want. AJ Varrichione is the type of salesman purchases over the past ten or so years. I hate the wasted time spent in a dealership when I know what I want. AJ Varrichione is the type of salesman (Internet or otherwise) that makes for a smooth and painless buying experience. There were none of the multiple trips back and forth to see the manager, the test ride was without pressure or stipulations, and for possibly the first time in my memory the salesman was transparent as well as honest. Greg Cole made sure that every single penny that we were going to spend or could possibly spend was laid out and explained. There was none of the hard sell for additional items that we "had to have" just to milk us for more money. Greg was able to beat our finance rate through USAA by 2%, but when we told him that we would still stay with the USAA rate due to convenience he stated that he understood and he did not press the idea. I have visited multiple Volvo dealerships in North Carolina, but after one three plus hour trip from Fayetteville I do not regret it one bit. University Volvo has earned my business. I can safely say that I would break my "Internet purchase only" rule when it comes time to but another Volvo. More

After looking at other Volvo dealerships in the area, I came to University Volvo to lease my first car. AJ and Greg were both extremely transparent and helpful! Would definitely recommend! came to University Volvo to lease my first car. AJ and Greg were both extremely transparent and helpful! Would definitely recommend! More

We brought our Volvo S40 in for service and my wife decided to look at a few cars while she was there. We were actually planning on buying a Honda, but quickly noticed that we could get more for our m decided to look at a few cars while she was there. We were actually planning on buying a Honda, but quickly noticed that we could get more for our money out of a Volvo. We found the perfect S60 for us (great car at a great price). AJ was extremely helpful and not pushy at all. Overall, the car buying experience there was excellent, the most professional and personalized service I have ever recieved when buying a car. I would recommend University Volvo to a friend in a heartbeat and would have a hard time buying from another dealership after the service we recieved. A great and extremely professional and knowledgeable team.. Excellent all around. More

This dealership is my favorite Vovlo dealership in Charlotte. Fair, Nice, Considerate, and helpful - all around good folks. I get my Volvo serviced there, and just bought a used Volvo for our son.

As a more mature customer if you had told me 10 years ago that I would be purchasing a brand new Volvo sight unseen and complete a transaction with dealership that I have had an opportunity to visit, I simpl that I would be purchasing a brand new Volvo sight unseen and complete a transaction with dealership that I have had an opportunity to visit, I simply would not have believed it to be possible. But the folks at University Volvo in Charlotte, NC, especially AJ Varrichione went above and beyond to secure the vehicle I was looking for at the price I wanted to pay. AJ searched the dealer network and secured my new S80 with the color and specific packages I requested. The transaction transpired over approximately two weeks from initial contact to delivery of my vehicle, AJ consistently was in contact with me and kept me in the loop as to the progress of the deal. I drove from Wake Forest, NC to Charlotte to purchase my vehicle, because of the positive attitude displayed by AJ Varrichione. The day I arrived to complete the deal and pick up my vehicle everything was in order as agreed upon prior to my arrival, AJ and I went for a test drive, followed by the paperwork involved in purchasing and transferring the vehicle to me with Greg Cole. Overall a very positive purchasing experience, would recommend these individuals and this dealership for your next Volvo! More

Purchased a used 2012 Toyota HIghlander; Found car through online searches and contacted the dealership via email. Received immediate reply from AJ with additional information. After 2 days, about 2 through online searches and contacted the dealership via email. Received immediate reply from AJ with additional information. After 2 days, about 20 emails and a few phone conversations, we felt comfortable going up to drive the car with an intent to trade in our car. Everything we discussed in emails/phone was exactly what was done - trade in value was the same, car was in great shape, and the financing discussed was the same. No switches. We bought the car after a short testdrive, and took car of paperwork and everything in under an hour. They were very understanding while my wife and 2 young kids hung around and we kept them after business hours on a Friday. Both AJ were personable, honest and I enjoyed working with them. If we get around to buying a volvo someday will definitely go there first, but also worth it to check out the place for their used cars! More

AJ was very professional, and had great knowledge of the car, as well as their inventory. There was no games and none of the typical pressure stuff. I strongly recommend dealing with him. I traded in my 201 car, as well as their inventory. There was no games and none of the typical pressure stuff. I strongly recommend dealing with him. I traded in my 2010 XC60 for a 2013. I also dealt with Greg in the financing, and he too was great; got down to the point and we were out of there in no time. Overall experience was very nice, with a smooth and super fast transaction. I live 110 miles away from this dealership, but these guys made it worth the drive. More
