UNION PARK VOLVO CUSTOMER: Since 2002. I have been a loyal customer of Union Park Volvo for more than 17 years.  During this time, I have purchased or leased six other new Volvo's from Union Park: S 90, S60, V60, XC 60, just to name a few.

I believe action speaks louder than words….and that it is everyone's human responsibility to give back whatever they can because blessings given will become blessings received. Namaste.
