Engine Diagnostics
Great customer service! I rang up last minute as I needed a diagnostics report and they managed to squeeze me in on the day. The team were very helpful and explained the issues I had with my Volvo Overall, great experience with them!

Excellent Service + Excellent Value
I have a Volvo XC90 which has done over 195,000 miles and I love it. The vehicle began to show problems with the engine slowing down on hills. Having tried two or three garages, including the main agent, none of whom could give a decent diagnosis. I came across The Workshop Volvo Specialist in Chesterfield by accident and took my car in for a check. David phoned me 2 hours later and gave me a very detailed diagnosis and what he could/would do to fix the problem. Some hours later he called to say he had fixed the problem. When it came to pay he explained in great detail the work he had done and some additional work that he could do to ensure the reliability of the car. He did not in any way try to "sell" the additional work. I paid my bill with relief!!! yes relief, because I was expecting it to be much higher! The car drove beautifully and I will certainly return and have the additional work done to keep the vehicle safe and reliable. It is absolutely rare for me to have confidence in a repair garage. I recommend The Workshop without reservation.

First Time I have used them. And won't be the last.
Having recently moved to the chesterfield area i sought out a Volvo Indie to look after my XC90. I came across the Volvo Workshop on a Volvo Forum on Facebook. I called in On Monday Afternoon to ask about a Cambelt change. I was quoted a fair price and offered a booking 2 days later!!! I dropped her off and they called me when she was done. They advised on one item and quoted me and I booked her in straight away. So far so Good and I do not think I need to go anywhere else despite their being alternatives. Price wise not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. Thanks again from a new satisfied customer.

Excellent Service
I took my Volvo V40 to be serviced here, where I have been going for several years. They are very pleasant and trustworthy and always contact you first if any extra work is to be done. I would highly recommend them to anyone as they are very friendly and give excellent service at a fair price.

Excellent and reliable
I have used the Volvo Workshop a number of times for repairs and servicing on my Volvo. They have always been courteous, friendly and efficient. They always explain any issues clearly and carry out work to my satisfaction. My recent visit was for an annual service where any issues were explained and noted on the invoice as a reminder for my future attention. The urgency or severity of any issues are also explained clearly. Will continue to use and would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends and relatives.

Experts and experienced
Not just for Volvo, I have had a Mondeo and now a Honda CRV (Dave is a bit of a Honda groupie) in the garage for regular servicing and other problems and have never been dissatisfied by the standard of work or the technical expertise of advice. Forget the Main Dealer system and go somewhere where you can talk to the person who will do the work on your car and discuss the options available in words which can be understood. The mechanics at The Workshop provide a service which is completed in the time specified, with spare parts (if needed) available at super quick speed and provide great value for money. I have no hesitation to recommend this Workshop

Reliable & trustworthy
Yearly service & M.O.T test. Have used the Volvo workshop since we discovered it 10 years ago. Work always done to our satisfaction by the very professional owners who have always been helpful. Customer service rate of 4 because of lack of courtesy car, which is understandable for a 2 person business.

Great service
Friendly, well priced, knowledgeable and good service. I have used to service my V70 - very happy with their work, the pricing and that they are able and wiling to talk through the work done or needed in future. (I would also be happy to send the less car-savvy and women in my family to this workshop, confident they wouldn't be ripped off and stand a reasonable chance of having sensible honest conversation about their vehicle with someone who knows about it. Unusual.)

Outstanding workmanship
All work undertaken only by the two master craftsmen. My family have utilised the services of the "Volvo specialist workshop" for over 10 years and used their services for both Volvo & other cars. Totally reliable and meriting the 10 mile drive to the garage. I am satisfied that no other garage could better the extensive work I have had done over the years. I am confident that I am in the hands of highly expert mechanics.

The Volvo Workshop is a real find! I firstly rang to introduce myself as a potential customer and felt welcome straight away. They quoted for my job which was significantly better value than main dealer. The work was done on time/price quoted to suit me. Dave & Steve run an awesome business and credit to them. Many thanks! Will be back.

I have used this firm since 2009 and whenever my 1993 Volvo 940 Turbo has been serviced, it runs like new. What they don't know about Volvo's is not worth knowing.

Quality Vehicle repairs at a reasonable price
I have brought my Volvo S70 and S40 for annual service and MOT for many years now and have received excellent service from Dave and Andrew. My cars have never let me down because the service has been thorough and you can trust that all the necessary jobs have been completed to an excellent standard and a fair price (much cheaper than main dealers). I have now replaced my S70 for a Mercedes S Class and have received the same excellent service at a fraction of main dealer prices. I would strongly recommend this workshop as they can repair most if not all prestige cars.

Which? Local Review
I started using Volvo Workshop after having poor service from three Volvo and Toyota main dealers and other local garages. I have used them for around 10 years with four different cars: newish and older vehicles and only one of which was a Volvo. Both Andrew and David are courteous, will give you an honest view on repairs needed, always return the car on time and in good order, and bill at a very reasonable rate. What more could you want? It is very unusual to find a vehicle repair workshop that you can trust; I wouldn't consider going elsewhere.

Which? Local Review
I have been a Volvo owner for more than 35 years, now having three Volvos on the road an S70, a V40, and a 17 year old 850, all bought new from Volvo Main dealers, and all of them serviced by the main dealers until October 2008. The Workshop, which I understand has been in business for about 15 years, is a two man outfit operating from premises on a trading estate, quite close to the former Volvo dealership, and they have now done two annual services for me on the Volvo 850 and one each on the other two vehicles. I have been immensely impressed with the quality of personal service that they have provided on all four occasions which, if in a different setting, I would rate as highly as the service that I enjoyed for so many years from Speeds. They have been very effective in dealiing with the minor niggles that come with age in a 17 year oid car, and all three vehicles continue to run faultlessly. I would recommend them without hesitation or reservation, and I have always found their charges to be reasonable, far below those of a Volvo Main dealer.
