On Friday, 10JUL2026, we had our appointment to deal with an issue of a vehicle we purchased (less than a week) that was sold with tires considered unsafe to drive and the 7 day warranty of going back and forth on the phone to get it approved. My wife and I were there for over 5 hours trying to get this approved which had involved with service advisor to speak with them. I would like to say to Benny Wong whom was very courteous upon arrival, to providing updates, and doing anything that was needed to speed up the process. Not only did he provide information needed to this warranty company but was an advocate as to the time to get it approved to providing photos as to why it was unsafe to drive. I got to say it was miserable, my husband came out of a procedure that morning off of anesthesia as we needed to get this fixed. I can not say enough to a tremendous thank you to both Benny but also the manager for taking the extra step and installing our new tires. It is hard to find a trustworthy dealer and even though we live 40min away, I am only going to this dealership for my new vehicle. sincerely thank you for caring Benny!- read more

Service is terrible. No response after two (2) messages for service and two (2) messages for Blake Boyd the GM no response. We have a service appointment set for this morning at 9:00 AM with no calls back for information. read more

I am owned my Volvo XC60 for over 4 years and have always gone to Johnson Volvo Service. I had a bad experience before but I like to get my car serviced at one place but this is the last straw. Back on June 22, 2025 I had a message stating "auto start stop needs to be serviced" A test was completed and removed and replaced support battery. Fast forward to May 2026 and the on call service light comes on- I return to Johnson and told that support battery is bad and needs to be replaced- I bring it to technician attention that I had that battery replaced back in June - he states that's not the same battery- ok replace the battery. I hadn't heard anything so I call service advisor and asked will my car be ready by 5 pm - mind you I dropped it off at 7:30am. He stated "Yes" I get there to pick up my vehicle and pay the bill. I reviewed the receipt and to my surprise "same battery # and no charge for battery- Just labor . The life expectancy of this battery is 4-7 years and this battery 1 year 1 month. From the way I am looking at this - I was charged labor again for a bad battery and had to pay another disposal fee for a bad battery that was originally put in my car. Oh and take note labor cost went up by $9.00 (haha). I am not disgruntle- just tired of being mistreated by a dealership because I am a woman. Women learn about your vehicle and save all receipts because the advisors will upscale you and clearly replace the same items and act like they doing you a favor. I am highly disappointed and now have to find another dealership for my Volvo. read more

$69k Buyer Treated With Zero Respect - Avoid This Dealership Worst sales experience I've ever had. Theo G. in Sales wouldn't let me speak, talked over me nonstop, and even accused me of "compromising his integrity." Completely unprofessional and insulting behavior. I was ready to spend $69k, but instead I blocked him and will never do business with this dealership. If this is how they treat serious buyers, I can only imagine how they treat customers after the sale. Go elsewhere if you value respect and professionalism. read more

This has been the worst car service I've dealt with in thirty years of driving. I will hopefully be able to find another Volvo dealer or capable garage in the future, as I don't intend to ever return to a Johnson car dealership. The short version - It took me four consecutive long bad visits in a row to get a tire with a hole in it replaced. I brought my car in for a regular service back in March, and although I was told it would only take 90 minutes it ended up taking over 4 hours. I assume this is because at 2 hours, they say you are allowed to take a loaner car? It's also possible that they are just horrible at estimating how slow things move, which is strange because they are there every day and see how things move. Regardless, after 4 hours I drove home, and ten minutes into my drive I had a light go off that a tire had low pressure. I drove back the following week when I had time, and they offered to patch the wheel for free, saying it would take 30 minutes. 45 minutes later, I swung by the desk to ask how it was going, and the car hadn't even been brought into the back to be fixed yet. When it was finally done, I drove out of the dealer and started heading back home. The tire pressure low light was (of course) still on, so I turned around and headed back to the dealer to ask them to take another look. They said it just takes time for the light to go off, everything's fine don't worry about it. So, I headed home. The light never turned off, so I've been refilling the air in the tire until I had a chance to go back to the dealership today to get it looked at, and they found a hole in my tire. This hole has clearly been there since they serviced it the first time, possibly because of the service itself. Now I have to replace my tires, so this has all become expensive in addition to absurdly more time intensive than necessary. So, after an hour of looking into it and getting the car ready to have tires replaced, I was told this would take an hour to 90 minutes to fix. After watching my car sit with nobody working on it for an hour, I finally asked to speak to a manager and was told that I wouldn't be able to take the car home until lunch time. They let me take a loaner home finally, so there's one piece of decent service, but now I'll have to drive all the way back to get my car after already spending two hours there this morning. This place is awful, avoid at all costs. read more

Top notch service team! I brought my vehicle here to be repaired and the team did a great job of keeping me updated. Benny was great to work with. read more

Really great experience - Benny W. was top class, even when delivering bad news. The customer service with the arrive department here is best I have ever been involved with read more

Had a great walk in experience here . Jessie won our return business with his helpful and accommodating service.

I called the service department today to inquire about a bill we received from Volvo Finance about a lease car. All the maintenance was done at Durham Volvo, even a software update due to a recall. My husband took the car in twice and mentioned a warning light was on. They never fixed it as it continued to come on. The fella in service department who says he is the manager was clueless. Could not respond to my questions, said he had never heard of a situation like this. He barely let me finish speaking, interrupting at every turn. Transferred me to the manager. The manager for today is a used car salesman. Seriously, this is what he told me. He had the same temperament as service person. Actually rude. Transferred me back to service manager and guess what? It went to voicemail. No surprises here folks. Just look at the inventory sitting on Johnson Volvo Durham lot and you will see they are not moving any cars. They are not up to date on Volvo Leasing options and offers. I am sure Mr. Johnson would not want to be treated like this or have any of his family treated in this manner. Not sure who is in charge of this whole dealership thing, but they do not have their best people working. I agree with some of the other reviews regarding lack of knowledge with service, rudeness etc. Why would you spend money with people like this?? Anyway if you want a great deal on Volvo try other dealers in the area. Volvo cars safer than Lexus and all the rest!!!!!! read more

The team overall is excellent, professional, courteous, and very helpful. Rod assisted me with a recent purchase, and I could not have asked for a better purchasing experience. Thank you, Rod and team, Marcus, Tom, and Jennifer. read more

Benny in the service department is great. Made dealing with a warranty issue super smooth. Highly recommend.

The general manager, Blake Boyd is extremely unprofessional, ineffective and incompetent. Every interaction I have had with him, he has been rude, unhelpful and inappropriate. Blake allowed someone to access my vehicle, my leasing information and shared confidential information with them because he assumed that this person was a "relative" of mine. I called to inquire about what was going on and his response was "this is not a court of law, you need to work this out with the police and your relative." This "relative" that he allowed to access my vehicle and confidential leasing information, is not listed on my lease or car insurance. This person has no attachment to my vehicle. I have never had such a negligent and irresponsible customer service experience. I reached out to Volvo Care Team, attempting to receive some assistance and they shared that they could not help, due to the dealership being privately owned. I do not recommend any automotive related services from this location. The Burlington and Raleigh locations are great. read more

Ive owned Volvo since 1980, and when I leased my recent xc90 from Johnson Volvo Durham, they were not transparent with the lease particulars that kept me from being able to trade this vehicle on another brand. I have been locked into this lease, and can only trade back into volvo, or purchase only a volvo. They were unprofessional in conversation in trying to help me get out of the lease, they overinflated the negative equity put into the lease, keeping the value of vehicle less than car value, overwhelming negative aspects overall. Now with tariff inflated pricing, my volvo cannot be traded. The dealership mgmt were not willing to satisfy my concerns, or would not even try to help find a solution for me to exit the lease. They put me off !! I have bought several volvo's from this dealership in the past, with a good scenerio, however, once they entered me into this current lease, the dealership washed their hands of trying to help me exit or purchase another vehicle in their inventory. Stay Away from dealing with this dealership. Dishonet, not transparent, unprofessional, and will do ANYTHING to stick you into a car just to make their profit numbers. Also Volvo Financial is a monopoly, not allowing you to trade fro a different car brand other than Volvo. This was never disclosed, and now Im left sitting with a shitty deal, I am sure they do not care, Stay away, what they say they will do to support you, is not the reality. Dirty dealing, I will NEVER own another VOLVO as long as I can drive! This dealership has ruined me of this, even that I have been a strong supported for over 45 years !!! Full of it... read more

Tony and the other staff in service were extremely friendly and professional. After my 40k tuneup my car was returned immaculate. No charge for the loaner unlike the Volvo dealership closer to where I live. I will definitely drive the extra distance to Durham to get my car serviced. I also highly recommend Forrest Harrell in sales. He's been my go to sales rep for the last two XC90 T8's I've driven. I'm saving up for the all electric replacement in 1-2 years. read more

Part came to report item I broke on my car. My appointment was at 10 am but they took me in earlier. Service manager directed me to service bay and entered my service into the computer. He then escorted me to the waiting area since I had not been there before and showed me around - where the restroom was located, internet station & complimentary coffee, water & snacks. Soon I received text introducing my mechanic who would be doing my work. When done, Shane came to the waiting area & completed my payment. Car was cleaned inside and out and I am very pleased with the attentive and complete service that was done. read more

Roderick, Jason and Demarcus all delivered superb customer service. They were diligent, swift and very knowledgeable. I'm glad that I took the drive from South Carolina to this location because with this team you can tell you're in great hands. Highly recommend (: read more

Worse ever for service every time I bring my car in for service it takes forever to do a simple inspection and basic service. One time the software was at fault and was causing all the emergency lights to go on. It took 3 attempts for service to finally figure out what was wrong I regret I ever bought the Volvo because of this dealership read more

We were driving from DC to NC when the emissions light went on. Given that it was the Saturday before Christmas, which was Monday, we were really worried that no one would look at the car. We were able to reach Shane at Johnson Volvo, who said that they would take a look. We got there an hour before closing and they checked the car! They gave us an explanation for the light and suggestions to address the problem should it happen again. They were all so nice and really helpful. Highly recommend! read more

I'm beyond pleased with the service I received today from Johnson Volvo service. The staff really know how to treat their customers. Thank you for the complimentary loaner vehicle while my car is being serviced. You have gained a customer for my future services. read more

Johnson Volvo Cars Durham - Loaner vehicle - Car Dealers Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I traveled from Florida to Durham for a very important medical appointment at Duke University Hospital. The morning of appointment my Volvo showed a low tire pressure signal. The timing couldn't have been worse, I waited 6 weeks and traveled 555 miles to miss an appointment ! Made the run from Garner to Durham praying for the tire to hold air. Made it to Johnson Volvo, they inspected and said it was fixable but they needed more time than I had available. Filled tire to max pressure and said come back after hospital visit. Went back at 15:00, they took me right in. Took an hour to make repair with mushroom plug, the best fix. They washed the car, detailed interior and told us " you're good to go ". Waited for the invoice and the manager said "have a safe trip home " it's on us!! I was shocked, these people are so polite and great service. Thank you so much Johnson Volvo. read more

My wife was traveling from SC through NC to northern Virginia. Our Volvo would not restart following a fuel stop. The car was towed on a Friday night to Johnson Volvo. The team there jumped on the issue Saturday morning and had her on her way by mid-day. Thank you for taking care of her and our car! We will always recommend Johnson Volvo to anyone if the Triangle area! read more

Absolutely wonderful service! The whole team was outstanding, extremely kind and knowledgeable. Scott did a great job in attention to detail and personal relations. I loved the location in South Durham, the new, pristine facilities, and the prompt service. But I particularly appreciate the overall customer service experience, since the first call to the moment I picked up my car (which was really frustrating at other dealers in the area). They do a great job in trying to make you feel welcome (even the manager introduced himself personally), and I hope as they start to grow, they can keep this wonderful virtue. read more

If you want a hassle free, easy and efficient car buying experience, THIS is your place!!! I wanted to test drive a vehicle I was interested in, so I contacted them through "confirm availability" on their website. I was contacted within a day by a manager (Marcus), telling me I could expect to hear from someone soon. This didn't happen straight away but within a day or so, Sarena reach out and I made an appointment to test drive and well, I'm now the proud leasee of a car that was nicer than what I was looking for, at a better price than I ever anticipated. My sales person, Cameron Howze, was terrific; super chill, easy to deal with and I'd recommend him to anyone for a completely flawless experience. Sarena in the internet sales dept even answer emails from me on Sunday (they aren't paying her enough!) and Marcus was the sales manager who made sure my trades (I had two) were all handled perfectly. They gave me everything I asked for, price wise, on my trades and there was an unbelievable lease rebate offered, so I'm a 200% contented customer!!! If you are a woman and hate shopping for cars because you're sure they're all trying to get one over on you, stop by this place and I'm certain you'll feel like you have found a place that is honest, respectful, patient and willing to please. Additionally, everyone wore a mask while dealing with me (not because I asked but because they wanted to make me comfortable) which was so thoughtful, as I have a medical condition and still wear my mask in enclosed spaces as I'm still super careful about COVID. Really the most stellar buying experience I've ever had, hands down! read more

My 2020 XC60 T6 R-Design was our second Volvo from Johnston Volvo of Durham. Daniel Scarlet has become part of our family helping us with our love for cars. Jeremy, Luke, Scott and Steven in the service department are all the reason we will be a long time customer. The level of customer service extends WAY past the sale. read more

I brought my car in after the Tire pressure warning light went off. They brought my car straight into the bay area and I took a seat in their new beautiful waiting area while they looked at the car. I had a nail in my tire which they immediately repaired and washed my car afterwards. The manager Tony Holland was extremely helpful and explained the repair he did. This dealership is truly first class service. read more

First class service and amazing service experience! Tony the Service Manager and Elizabeth were just the best and Tony the Sales Manager was incredibly helpful. Just the nicest people who care and treat the customer as an extremely valued guest. 5 stars! read more

Great experience purchasing a used car from Johnson Volvo. The whole team was great. I want to say a special thanks to Rod for his professionalism and experience and Hisani for walking me through all options available to me. If you are looking for a car at Johnson Volvo, ask for Rod, you will not be disappointed! read more

I came here for oil change. The technicians were awfully irresponsible and left several tool marks on the bonnet of my car. They can be seen lackadaisically moving aimlessly about, laughing and conversing. They do not do their jobs with the kind of seriousness and attentiveness one sees in their counterparts at other sevice centers in Burlington and Cary, where I regularly service my car. There is too much casualness among the technicians at the Jonnson Volvo Durham. Definitely I do not plan to return here as convenient a location as it is from my Chapel Hill home. read more

This is the third Volvo dealership we have been to recently for various issues with my vehicle, and let me tell you third times a charm! Tony, the service manager, along with all other employees At Johnson Volvo go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. We couldn't be happier with the service and care we received while my car was at the dealership. HIGHLY recommend choosing this dealership if you have a Volvo. read more

I Got my New XC 90 couple of days ago. Before I physically stepped into the dealer, Cameron, who is my specialist, was being very friendly and helpful and supportive for me. I feel very welcomed there and we had great conversation about cars condition and other related matters. All in all, it was a great experience in Johnson Volvo Cars dealer. Special thanks to Cameron for helping me out the entire time. 10/10 good service there! read more

This review is overdue. Leased my vehicle from these lovely folks a few months ago and they really made the experience so simple and stress-free, which from past experiences, is a rarity. Their responsiveness was excellent, the showroom is beautiful and welcoming, and the Team here is as kind as can be. Special thanks to Reed and Jason for their attention and kindness. I shopped around quite a bit and they provided a far better rate than any other dealer in the area. Big Thanks to the entire Team at Johnson Volvo - you guys rock! read more

I went to Volvo of Cary and the experience was disappointing. The minute I walked into Johnson Volvo I was immediately greeted and connected with Connor. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and incredibly knowledgeable. He found my the perfect car and I count be happier! Be sure to ask for him!!! read more

I had a great experience with the Johnson Volvo Cars recently! definitely recommend this place for your car service!

-Had an initial bad experience. It was so bad I wrote to Johnson Automotive management. -Their Manager reached out and asked me to give them another chance to earn my business. -I agreed and they finally let me see the car I actually wanted to buy. After talking with their sales manager, they are agreed to fix a bunch of stuff wrong with the car. -They called and asked us to come see it again. Car looked better (it was a lot cleaner) but still some other stuff needed to be fixed dents, scratches etc. They agreed and I plainly expressed my desire to buy the once it was all fixed as we agreed. -They called on a Monday and asked us to come see it that day. I said, we couldn't as my wife wasn't feeling good, we would come in a day or two. -They called the next day. They sold the car. At this point I wasn't even surprised by the news or upset with them. My only thought was, I knew it! I was more upset with myself for not listening to my gut about this place. My advice: If this place is on your list, don't expect too much or great customer service and you won't be disappointed. With this specific dealership, if you feel something isn't right, you are probably correct. Just get up and leave. If you are planning on buying a used car, please please make sure they fix everything. From other reviewers you will see they usually don't honor that and you end up with stuff not working or you will need to fix. read more

Was just there a week or two ago. Had mediocre service. Difficult to schedule an appointment, scheduler couldn't give me information, she said she had to have an advisor to call me back with information and pricing and that she didn't know, she didn't even take down my concerns correctly and apparently forgot I needed a loaner car so they were scrambling for a long time to get me something to drive. The advisor was not in touch with me throughout the entire service process at all!! I had no idea what was going on and had to call several times to try to get an update on my vehicle. All around not impressed!! (Although, the techs were extremely knowledgeable and professional, and gave me helpful and detailed information, info that the advisor couldn't explain at all. The advisor even claimed to have no idea that something was done to my car, even though I found it myself, as it was clearly written out in my paperwork right in front of him.) Also, Absent service manager the whole time too, & nobody knew where he went, because I tried to speak with him as well at some point. read more
