Hi All, friends in southern Tas have a couple of mid 80s 240s and are looking for a Volvo friendly mechanic in the greater Hobart region. Please let me know if anyone has any experiences or suggestions. Thanks, Dan

Recommendations from the Farcebook group "Tasmanian Volvo Enthusiasts"-

  • Falk Automotive in Derwent Park - many staff own Volvos
  • David Short at North Hobart (mostly does British) (via @volvodriverman and others)
  • Justin Cooper in Kingston (does Land Rovers, but also does 240s) (via @volvodriverman)

Justin Cooper is one of the best mechanics I've ever known.

I’d back that I know someone who has worked casually for j Cooper and swears by him.

A RR is much more complex and tricky than a 240…

    jrc Thank-you, my last Landy was comprehensively serviced by Justin Cooper, known as the LR whisperer in those circles

      Tom and Wim at Margate Mechanical and Machinery were both Volvo techs back in the day, and know 240s pretty well. Not sure how much they want to play with 240s these days, but we used to chat heaps about them back when I was in the industry a few years ago.

      Would be worth having a chat to them if you have no luck with the other suggestions (all of which I know personally, and are highly skilled and trustworthy workshops btw…)

      Thanks all, have passed on the suggestions 🙂
