CAROL

Office Administrator

I’m the one in the background keeping everyone organised. I work part time but if you call, I might be the one booking your service or arranging a Volvo test drive.

I’ve worked here for a very long time and so I know the business inside and out, keeping an eye on all the paperwork, advertising, and social media.

SEAN

Mechanical Technician

I’ve been at Corner Garage for 25 years and tackled just about every issue a Volvo can throw my way. Whether you need a routine service, or a complex fault takes you off the road, I use my expertise to get you going quickly and safely.

We’re a friendly bunch so I’m not always hiding under a car. When you come in, you can meet the person working on your car, that’s me or Paul. And you’ll often find me speaking to customers, running diagnostics, or pitching in to get the job done.

PAUL

Diagnostic Technician

If one of those warning light flashes up on your dashboard, I’m the man you need. I’ve worked at Corner Garage for just over 10 years, working out your nagging car problems and fixing them.

I love working in a family run business, there are no targets like the big dealerships, what matters here is taking care of our customers. I’ve known some of our customers for years, and I’m always around for a bit of advice on their Volvo.

DARYL

Head of Garage

I took over Corner Garage in 2024, bringing my 35 years of experience in the motoring industry. Born and raised in Preston, I now spend a lot of time travelling the UK to source the best Volvos for our customers. When I’m not at the garage, I’m running Naze Lane Garage in Freckleton or acting as unofficial chauffeur for my kids.

I believe in doing things properly - no hidden charges, no dodgy cars, no pressure, and straightforward advice. I get a lot of satisfaction from finding high-quality cars and keeping them on the road.
