I recently bought a car from this dealership through their trade-in program. They offered me the highest value for my old car, and the vehicle I purchased is in excellent condition — well-maintained and very clean inside. They also included a one-month warranty. The people working here are incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely care about customers. I’m very happy with my purchase and would confidently recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a reliable place to buy a car. Maher is a professional in his field🙏

Behold my 2006 Volvo V70R, a loyal steed I’ve cherished since it rolled off the showroom floor. Over 330,000 glorious miles, it has been a trusty companion, from spirited drives to cherished road trips. But when its heart started to falter, I refused to let it go quietly into the night.

Determined to restore this rare and beloved machine to its former glory, I went all in. I special-ordered a factory-built engine straight from Sweden—a decision so bold it cost $17,000 for the engine alone. It was expensive, but exciting: brand new, never modified or abused. To secure the lifetime warranty promoted by Volvo Cars of North America, I had it installed at an authorized dealership. This was no ordinary repair; this was a $30,000 investment in preserving a piece of automotive history.

Volvo Cars of North America proudly promotes that every part purchased and installed through a Volvo dealership carries a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser. The dealership assured me that their installation was necessary to maintain this promise, as advertised by Volvo Cars of Tacoma. Confident in their expertise and this guarantee, I believed I had made the right decision to entrust my V70R to their care.

Instead, it’s been a tale of woe.

Not long after installation, the engine betrayed me with a head gasket failure. And just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, disaster struck: a broken connecting rod tore through the engine block, taking the transmission with it in a fiery swan dive of mechanical devastation.

Since August, Volvo Customer Care fed me hopeful promises of resolution. But just when I expected a miracle, they slammed the door shut. Their verdict? My V70R’s high mileage and the scarcity of parts meant no repairs, no solutions. Their grand gesture? A $5,000 offer to walk away and keep the car—without the engine or the transmission fixed.

Now, my once-pristine V70R languishes in their parking lot, abandoned and gutted, with its oil pan unceremoniously dumped in the back.

I can’t help but assume I’m not alone. How many other customers have been misled by dealerships into purchasing discontinued parts under the promise of a lifetime warranty? Volvo’s lack of customer care has become a troubling trend—a standard way of doing business that leaves loyal owners like me feeling abandoned and betrayed.

This isn’t just about a car; it’s about years of memories, a piece of history—and a legacy that deserves better than this.

First and Last Volvo for so many reasons. The salesperson Mike called me after I had done a contact me request on their website. It was mid morning, I told mike what I was looking to purchase and that I had an appointment at a different dealership the next morning. I told him what he need to beat the other offer to get my bussiness. He them texted and said the car I was looking at online had sold, but he had one other and sent me the link. I said that was great and to start looking up some numbers. He went quiet for a few hours, so I messaged checking in. He then respond at the end of the day saying he was sorry he got busy with a client in the store. I was fine with it and didn't expect much since I wasn't in the store. Mike and unknown sales manager worked up numbers on a car I was interested in.  He gave me the numbers, that looked great.  I setup an appointment with him for the next day, then I canceled my appointment with the dealership in Seattle. minutes later received a call from Mike.  He informed me that the manager traded the car to another dealer, that they didn't have the trim level I wanted. That they would give me the same discount on another car. I felt like a total bait and switch happening. It was unprofessional of the manager for trading that car without checking with the sales team first, or  know they gave me numbers on a traded car. The next morning I went to the Seattle dealership since they had a car I was interested in. That turned out to not be true. They played games on pricing and trade value, they had wasted enough of my time. I called  Mike at Tacoma volvo while at the Seattle dealership asking if he could trade with another dealership for a car I liked better. I was told no that would take too long to get here before the end of the month. I was looking to purchase an EV and wanted the lease cash on it.  I came back to Tacoma Volvo, where Mike was with another client, but he had pulled the car up to the front for me. Knowing I had been up since 4am, and wanted to be back in Portland in the early evening he passed me off to a newer sales person, then passed off to another sales person when we had questions we needed answers. I was missing my registration card for my car which would have been a good thing to know they needed if the first sales person would have sent me the list like he said he would the day before. He only sent it while we were headed to the dealership 30 mins before we arrived. This caused me having to drive home with the old car, go to the DMV in the morning wait for over 90 minutes for a simple printout, and drive back 2.5 hours to the dealership. I came to realize the Volvo EX30, is a cheaply built car. The fact everything is in the screen or voice controled by google is okay, until your going over 65 on the freeway and the voice control can't understand you, or it stops reading back your voice to text thinking your talking over the apple CarPlay system. I had to grab my phone and respond directly into the phone's microphone. This worked perfectly, I then called my friend on the way home and she said the bluetooth was fine while I was talking, but once I stopped she only heard bad road noise. Finally, I pulled up to my house to realize I don't have homelink in this car. I messaged salesperson #3 about the bad bluetooth and no homelink system. He responded asking if I was driving with the window down on the freeway. I wasn't born yesterday, I understand to roll up the window before trying to talk going freeway speeds. He then answered my question about the homelink. it's not an option on the EX30, so I now have the remote on my sun visor like it's 1985 all over again.
Needless to say this is my biggest car buying mistake I've made.  I should have walked away when they traded the car off while working the deal with me. Gives me the Bait and Switch vibes.
Now, I just wait for the lease to be over in 3 years or someone to run into this car. Thankfully, this is an extra car for our household and we can afford not to drive it.

I worked with Tony at Volvo Cars Tacoma and it couldn't have been easier. The whole process from start to finish was seamless. I'm a few hours away from the dealership so we were able to negotiate all over text and came to a deal that everyone was happy with on our EX30. I'd make the drive 10/10 times again to work with Tony and the team there!

I went in to have 3 issues diagnosed and not a single one was fixed. The service department tried to convince me that the noise I was hearing was just the HVAC fan rather than having me show them which noise I was talking about. The showroom is extremely hot and I was kept waiting for 2 hours in there only for them to not fix the issue of my car or even talk to me about it. My first experience here and I would definitely not come back.
