We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Rod Blackwell, Saleperson, at Johnson Volvo. It is obvious that he understands the no-pressure consultative sales process. He was the consummate professional sales Saleperson, at Johnson Volvo. It is obvious that he understands the no-pressure consultative sales process. He was the consummate professional sales person. He asked the right questions to solicit the appropriate answer and he answered some tough questions to keep us engaged in the sale process. I truly enjoyed this sales experience and would recommend other sales people mirror Mr. Blackwell to learn his approach. Thank you Mr. Blackwell for your professionalism and your service. You made the purchase a pleasure. Deidre and Terry Jackson More
My husband and I drove all the way to Durham from Charlotte with an appointment to view a used volvo to purchase for our daughter who is a new driver. After test driving, starting to talk numbers, t Charlotte with an appointment to view a used volvo to purchase for our daughter who is a new driver. After test driving, starting to talk numbers, the sales person Marcus was cocky and said we aren't budging on anything on this sheet, including the 800 dollar processing fee, after we had drove all the way over there to actually buy the car and most likely would have purchased the car had that conversation been handled differently. We got up and left. We have never been treated so rudely ever when buying a car. We have never purchased used before. I have no idea how this dealership has a 5 star rating on multiple sites. It would have been nice for them to have told us that up front that the price was the price as they knew why we were coming before we spent half the day riding over there and back. How rude & disappointing... Lesson is to get your quote before spending any time at this dealership. Again, I have no idea how this dealership has a 5 star rating. Good luck. More

Difficult to schedule an appointment, scheduler couldn't give me information, she said she had to have an advisor call me back with information and pricing and that she didn't know, she didn't even take down my concerns correctly and apparently forgot I needed a loaner car so they were scrambling for a long time to get me something to drive. The advisor was not in touch with me throughout the entire service process at all!! I had no idea what was going on and had to call several times to try to get an update on my vehicle. All around not impressed!! (Although, the techs were extremely knowledgable and professional, and gave me helpful and detailed information, info that the advisor couldn't explain at all. The advisor even claimed to have no idea that something was done to my car, even though I found it myself, as it was clearly written out in my paperwork right in front of him.) Also, Absent service manager the whole time too, & nobody knew where he went, because I tried to speak with him as well at some point. This place is nothing special. More

I was spared all the usual stories and received courteous and professional treatment. Mr. Choudhry has diligently responded to all of our questions and concerns and has gone far above and beyond what anyone would ever expect. The car was in perfect condition inside and out. I will go back here again because of the excellent customer service and high quality vehicles. More
At last: A good Volvo dealer and service in Durham Johnson is the first decent Volvo dealer in the Triangle in many years. Efficient, honest, and easy-to-arrange service. The place I'd been forced to u Johnson is the first decent Volvo dealer in the Triangle in many years. Efficient, honest, and easy-to-arrange service. The place I'd been forced to use (not in Durham) had good mechanics, but it took forever to get anyone to call you back (no one answered the service phone) to get a service appointment. Often they never called back; I'd have to call several times. This past spring it took nearly five weeks to get them to make a simple repair, which kept me from using the car. That ws the last of many bad straws. That bad dealer's manager is a nice guy but doesn't know how to run the place, at least not according to what I saw and what his own employees told me. They said the system did not work because the manager would not hire the one more person his terrible system needed, so no one ever had to time answer calls or return them without long delays, if ever. "People are too xxxx impatient" one employee told me after a three-day wait. So I realized I'd have to trade in my Volvos for something else to get acceptable service. Great cars are useless when the service sucks. Then a salesman at the bad dealer advised me to use Johnson Volvo in Durham. I'd not know Johnson had opened up. I tried them a few times; it's the difference between night and day. The Johnson manager knows what he's doing, it's easy and fast to make service appointments, they're responsive and responsible, it's easy to get to (just off 40 near South Point), and they do an all around far better job -- even better car washes!. So for their terrible customer service, the bad dealer gets D+. Johnson Volvo in Durham is straight A. Welcome,folks! We need you. More
Efficient and fair negotiation and low pressure We purchased a new 2019 XC90 from John Volvo Cars Durham, which recently opened in our area. We completed our transaction over two trips to the de We purchased a new 2019 XC90 from John Volvo Cars Durham, which recently opened in our area. We completed our transaction over two trips to the dealership. First, we test drove the XC90 to allow us to compare the vehicle against an Audi Q7 and an Acura MDX. Once we decided on buying a Volvo, we negotiated the purchase and trade in of our existing vehicle via a short e-mail exchange and arrived at a fair prices for both the new vehicle and our trade in. Our second trip to the dealership was to sign paperwork and take delivery of our vehicle, all of which took approximately one hour. All in all, we were pleased with how quickly we concluded the transaction and the professionalism of the staff. We appreciated that they didn't use high pressure sales tactics. Our salesperson was Jabir Choudhry and the sales manager was Daniel Scarlett. More
