With the shuttering of 128 Volvo, you no longer can buy a Volvo , get your Volvo serviced, or purchase any Volvo genuine parts at 614 North Ave in Wakefield. It’s the end of an era. Volvo was always an outlier when it came to small, local ownership of their dealerships. As more and more area stores were absorbed into ever-larger automotive behemoths, Volvo kept it less massive. 128 Volvo, Stutz, Dalzell, Farrell, Lee, Alewife, South Shore and more – up until a few years ago, Volvo was defined by smaller operations, often the originating owners.
While not necessarily small, we are innately local, starting with the Cambridge accent emanating from our CEOs office. But when you look around, you’ll find most Greater Boston Volvo dealerships are now part of significantly larger organizations. This is neither good nor bad, it is just different. Times change, brands and companies evolve. And small business owners move on.
As we add the staff of 128 Volvo into our group and look forward to serving their old customers, at the least we know we’ll be around for many more years. We’ve been doing Volvo longer than anyone else in New England, and we intend to be around many more.
Where do I now go to have my SAAB serviced?
Our Boston Volvo location in Allston/Brighton still services dozens of SAABs every week. You can make an appointment online at bostonvolvo.com or call us at 617.560.1710.
Can my Volvo be serviced at the old 128 location
128 Volvo Cars officially closed up shop. The closest Volvo Cars location is up in Danvers on Commonwealth Ave, right across from the Liberty Tree Mall.
I purchased my Volvo at 128 Volvo and had it serviced there. Why am I being solicited by “Albrecht Autoland Wakefield” now? Please confirm if you provided them with any of my data as a result of being a Volvo customer.
We absolutely do not transfer customer data. We hope that when the time comes you will decide to service your Volvo with us.
We suggest you contact Albrecht directly and ask them how/why they are soliciting you.
How can I get all information transferred from 128 Volvo to my new dealership so that they’re aware of my options & coverage?
We will have basic customer info from 128 Volvo up at our Volvo Cars Danvers location. The easiest way to get any questions answered is to give us a call. If it is a sales question, give Emilio (Sales Manager) a call at the store. If it is Service, contact Bob Kamal (Service Manager). Our main phone number is 978-624-4500. They will be able to see what we have on file, and then be able to help you out. If you want me to have them contact you, just let me know.
