This is my first time rating a dealership on DealerRater, and I can confidently say that McGrath Volvo is a fantastic dealership to work with. We’ve purchased all of our Volvos from them and continue to come and I can confidently say that McGrath Volvo is a fantastic dealership to work with. We’ve purchased all of our Volvos from them and continue to come back because of the consistently excellent experience—both during the buying process and with ongoing service. We recently worked with Franz, who was exceptional—professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with. The service department is also outstanding, especially Mark, who has always taken great care of us. What really sets McGrath apart is how they treat their customers. We’ve always felt respected, valued, and never pressured. As a woman, I’ve had experiences at other dealerships that felt aggressive and uncomfortable, but McGrath is the complete opposite—it’s a place where you feel at ease and taken seriously. I highly recommend McGrath Volvo for both sales and service. More
I had a very poor experience with the service department at McGrath Volvo, specifically working with Mark Kuzinar. My vehicle was kept for several months with minimal and inconsistent communication. Duri at McGrath Volvo, specifically working with Mark Kuzinar. My vehicle was kept for several months with minimal and inconsistent communication. During this time, I was told that the warranty company had been contacted a few times regarding the necessary repairs. However, after experiencing repeated delays, I contacted the warranty company directly and was informed that no contact had been made when he stated he did, nor had any explanation for the repairs been submitted so ultimately, they denied my claim. The warranty company stated that they denied my claim due to lack of communication from McGrath Volvo on why the repairs are needed. We communicated this to Mark and he sent us a list of parts he sent the warranty company. Where was the exchange between McGrath Volvo and the Warranty company? I was ultimately presented with a $14,000+ repair estimate, with no clear justification or progress toward warranty approval. The overall experience felt disorganized and lacked transparency or customer advocacy. After transferring my vehicle to another Volvo dealership, the warranty was approved and the repairs were completed within one week, confirming that the issue was not the vehicle but how it was handled. Overall service department lacks professionalism and accountability. To add insult to injury, the other Volvo dealership I took it to for service stated that the suspension is messed up, the motor mounts were left off and a coolant leak. So basically they sabotaged my car because upon bringing it there, the inspection said there was no suspension issues or coolant leaks. Strange!!! Due to the lack of communication, follow-through, and professionalism, I cannot recommend the service department at McGrath Volvo and would advise others to proceed with caution and not go here and save yourself a headache.

I have loved the experience at this deal since it was Barrington Volvo and the charm and old school service never disappoints! Selection is always great but the service I receive when I deal with Franz i Barrington Volvo and the charm and old school service never disappoints! Selection is always great but the service I receive when I deal with Franz is unparalleled. Trustworthy and knowledgeable and never behaving as the stereotypical car salesman, not one step was stress-inducing. More

The entire staff was wonderful to work with, and Franz Mausser truly stood out. He made the process not only easy, but genuinely enjoyable.

My daughters and I went to McGrath Volvo to get into a Volvo XC90. All three of us were greeted by Franz Mausser and proceeded to select the right vehicle for our entire family. Franz was professionally Volvo XC90. All three of us were greeted by Franz Mausser and proceeded to select the right vehicle for our entire family. Franz was professionally courteous and treated all three of us as if we were already members of his family. I cannot recommend Franz and McGrath Volvo highly enough. More
We had an appointment scheduled with Julio Zamudio at 10:30 12-22-25.

We walked in not really expecting to walk out a few hours later with a new XC60 but with the great help of Julio, and Pritesh Chaudhary we did. This is our fourth Volvo with McGrath and I must say that this was the first time I actually felt 100\% satisfied with the purchase. From beginning to end, they were exceptional. Looking forward to returning to do this again in a couple years. Thanks McGrath Volvo Eduardo & Valarie Paras More

After 20 years of driving a Volvo XC 90, I downsized and am the proud owner of a new XC40. I am local and chose McGrath because of its reputation and convenience. The process seemed daunting, however, Julio am the proud owner of a new XC40. I am local and chose McGrath because of its reputation and convenience. The process seemed daunting, however, Julio Zamudio came to my assistance and made the purchase a positive experience. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the vehicle. Advanced vehicle technology and features overwhelmed me but Julio was thorough in his explanations and did so with the utmost patience. McGrath should be proud to have Julio on their sales team and I would rate him a 5-star representative. I look forward to years of satisfaction and McGrath service, as I enjoy my new Volvo. THANK YOU Julio and McGrath. More
