Still running at over 218000 miles

I love my manual transmission Volvo. It's fun to drive and I feel safe inside it. Big trunk space. My dog loves it, too. This car was built in 1999 mostly in Sweden. Too bad Volvo doesn't make them anymore.

Professional, Friendly, Trustworthy and Competitive.

My recent experience on 2/3/23 it is what I have come to expect after taking my vehicles to Tire Empire for over 40 years. My 1999 Volvo which I only use locally started to idle rough and upon applying gas. I suspected I needed new spark plugs but the mechanic diagnosed I needed to replace at least one ignition coil but suggested I replace all the coils at once and buying a pack of coils instead of one would reduce the price of each coil and best to do it now because it would be less expensive in the long term. As I drove the car home from the shop, the ride was smooth and comfortable, almost as good as my benz. As per my previous post several months ago, I find the staff in the office and mechanics being professional, courteous, caring and trustworthy from the moment I arrive and greeted by Frank asking the reason of my visit, getting a call from Vinny as to the diagnostics and recommendation and paying Tony the following day. I have been coming to Wil-John's when I moved to Staten Island in 1978 and will continue to do so. I have recommended friends, relatives and neighbors to Tire Empire -all having positive feedback on their return. Thank you, Rob, Antonio, Vinny and Frank, keeping my cars safely on the road for the past 43 years.

Professionalism, Friendly, Honest and Competitive.

Wil John's Tire Empire has been servicing my cars for over 40 years. I have recommended them to family, friends and neighbors over the years and they enjoyed the same experience I have had with them from the beginning. As the title states I have found the staff to be professional, friendly, price competitive and above all honest- which I value above all else. During my last visit, I detected an anti-freeze leak on my 1999 Volvo and the mechanic diagnosed the leak coming from the radiator. My first reaction was my luck. Radiator part obviously more expensive to replace in labor and parts than a hose or pump. Vinny ordered the part on a Monday and the repair was completed the next day- can't expect any better service than that. The system was checked under pressure to make certain no other leaks: professionalism- but that is what I have come to expect from Wil-Johns. Friendly: Greeted by Frank with a smile who wrote up the order and told me the possible causes. Vinny: promptly called me when car was repaired. Antonio: was out ill but my dealings with him was always top notch. Rob: He sets the standard for honesty in my opinion. Thanks, guys, for being there for me over the years and Merry Christmas. Bob P

Good Car, but will need engine TLC.

Solid, SAFE car. Engine requires tuning and upkeep. But, when kept up, very reliable. For an older vehicle, it keeps it's traditional Volvo style, that i feel has been lost. Last year of built in Sweden, therefore truly European.

Classy Volvo

Classic styling, easy to operate. The Volvo S70 is a good value for the money. Sharp handling with luxury interior features. Just love the car and enjoy driving it. For the price there is no other car I would buy.

Consistent Excellence

This is actually a 1998 Volvo, and at 235000 miles, Barbara wants nothing more than to drive this car. The noise insulation is wearing a little thin, the automatic door locks don't always work, and there is some noise in the rear end, but she wants to drive this car until it dies on the side of the road and she walks away from it.

IT'S A BOX BUT DEPENDABLE, SAFE AND TROUBLE-FREE

Never had a car which can take a beating on milage, dents from rude drivers, klutzy urban parkers and don't give a damn valets. No mechanical or service surprises. Great auto for long-distance and handles various road conditions. Very comfortable ride. Passengers always comment on comfy wide seats. Very good trunk space. Excellent family auto. Excellent paint finish. Quibbles: my model doesn't allow rear side windows to open all the way. And the A/C isn't as robust as when I bought auto in 1999. My lower rating for features, styling & design is affected by age of vehicle---don't use cassette tapes anymore. Not a car for show. But it gets you where you need to be safely.
