Can anyone recommend a half decent Volvo Technician around the Bendigo area that I can take my car to for a few little things to get done?

Hi Matt. I'm in Bendigo and apparently the two most people use are Jamie Hackett motors and Briggs motors. I haven't used either as I've done my own servicing so far. (Only had my xc90 since October last year)
Last time I enquired Briggs didn't have a Vida dice but were looking at getting one. Can't comment on Hackett.
Let me know how you go!

Thanks Kyril, I will do the regular services but need the timing belt done on the S40 - will let tech do it this time - by next round I will be comfortable enough to do it myself!
If they don't have a DICE / VIDA I can take my stuff in

No dramas. I'm going to try and do most things myself. So far rear rotors and pads and the general service. Also have the Vida dice.
Next up is drive belt and engine mounts that My brother and I are going to take as he has a fully kitted workshop available to him with 2 and 4 point hoist etc.
Might have to wait until after it gets back from the panel shop to repair the roo strike damage.....

I'm a mechanic with about 13 years on the job and lots of Volvo experience, I'm 1.5 hours from Bendigo but would be happy to do a timing belt job for you at home.
Otherwise Innes Motors used to be a Volvo dealer up until the '90's and apparently one or two of the older techs were working there in the Volvo days, and they still service a couple of Volvo's for long term customers. Expect to pay dealership labour rates there though of course.
