JENKINS VOLVO

The first thing the neurosurgeon said upon entering the examination room was, "You are lucky to be alive."  After showing him the pictures of our wrecked 2001 V70XC Volvo wagon, he pointed out, "The B post, the post behind the front seat, saved your life."  The B post and front roof post bent in while the roof cross beam buckled upward, all bending to absorb impact, but not crumpling just as advertised. 

 

We were on our way back from hiking in the Ozarks in northern Arkansas on Interstate 39 north of Bloomington, Illinois.  My wife Jen was driving, and I was snoozing in the front passenger seat.  She asked if I could take over driving and I said sure, at the next exit, or whenever.  The next thing I remember was the sound of the rumble strip and seeing the car heading into the median strip at 70 mph.  Jen had nodded off, but then woke up instantly.  She was able to bring the car under control on the grass and headed back up on the highway.  Upon hitting the pavement at an angle the car went into a violent fishtail and dove over the right front wheel back into the median.  That was the last thing I remember, but the car rolled like a football and ended up right side up facing traffic. 

 

Jen turned off the key, unbuckled, opened the door, and got out.   I, on the other hand, had to have the door sawed off to be extracted on a back board.  I ended up at the trauma center of the St. Francis Hospital in Peoria with a fractured vertebra, collarbone and two ribs?.   BUT alive and thankfully not paralyzed.  Six weeks later, I'm stiff and sore, have shed the Aspen collar, had a shave and haircut, and no longer look like Ted Kaczynski.    

 

We're very grateful for the outstanding construction of our beloved Cross Country.

My wife and I have been buying and servicing our Volvo's from Jenkins for over 20 years. The Jenkins family and their staff treat you like you are part of their family as well. The service department is so honest and they are always looking out for our best interest. You will never pay for something that's not needed at Jenkins. Forget these independent shops that claim to be as good as the dealer...NOT TRUE! If you are looking to purchase or service your Volvo or Jaguar, Jenkins is the place because they have the most experienced, trust worthy staff in Wisconsin.

We have been buying/servicing our cars at Jenkins for 17 years. We even take our vehicles that are not Volvos, or Jaguars there for service. We have never had to return to have service re-done. There is no reason to go anywhere else, particularly on the North Shore. They are honest & family friendly. Our kids now go there! The techs/salesforce have many, many years of experience. They go above & beyond!!!
