Marie Gibbons is passionate about Volvo. Â She doesn’t work ‘for’ Volvo, but she clearly lives Volvo. Â Her Abbotsford, British Columbia business has been running for nine years. Â A former Montrealer, Gibbons (@ www.volvolady.com) moved to southern B.C. (not far from the U.S. border) to assist her brother at his Volvo franchise. Â After his retirement and sixteen years in that business, the Volvo Lady took a couple years off but eventually returned to her passion.
Marie purchases used Volvos and reconditions every part of them. Â Her biggest challenge is finding product since, as she says, “Volvo people love their cars and won’t trade them in.” Â Bodywork, interior, and the mechanical aspects of each car come under Marie’s watchful eye. Â As the website shows, the Volvo Lady likes the three R’s but tinkers a little bit. Â Reuse, restore, recycle, rebirth. Â
If you love the boxy old Volvo style or have a Volvo that needs a good workover, the Volvo Lady’s website is definitely worth checking out. Â Click here for all Volvo-related articles on GoodCarBadCar.
I have recently purchased a volvo from Marie the volvo lady and I have to say it was the most pleasant and painless car purchase ever.
The old car was fantastically restored and detailed. Not a thing was left untouched.
I wish there were more car dealers like Marie.
Great to see Volvos live on !
They are awesome cars.
Her cars are in excellent condition – worth every penny !
