George passes on his passion

A lifetime of Volvo knowledge is being passed along to the new breed of automotive technician at Geelong West Automotive.
Lifelong Volvo fan and unabashed admirer, George Bellingham, is passing along his love of the Swedish marque to leading technician Joe Atkinson.
Joe is already well versed in the working of top German automakers Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes Benz.
With George’s tutelage, Joe is expanding his repertoire to becoming a Volvo specialist.
George worked with former well-known Volvo dealer Trevor Stanley and the Peck and Stokes dealership before opening his own workshop in Belmont.
Now it’s time to pass along his store of knowledge after specialising in Volvos for more than 40 years.
“What George doesn’t know about Volvos isn’t worth knowing,” agrees Joe.
“He has taken the slogan of Volvo for Life literally and he lives and breathes them.”
Along with his vast knowledge, George has also brought his dealership level computer equipment, including the Volvo Vida offering full guided diagnosis, spare parts and technical training.
Geelong West Automotive uses only quality or genuine parts, following manufacturer guidelines.
The specialised Volvo workshop offers choice of where to service and repair Volvos with peace of mind, while maintaining the manufacturer’s warranty.
