Even before Dennis Eagle started using the Volvo engines as standard, we have worked closely with them and their contract customers to provide the very best service.  MC, as a long-term award-winning Volvo dealership, can really provide customers with Dennis vehicles a one-stop shop for their servicing and maintenance requirements, engine warranty repairs including the chassis and the body,” said Daniel Needham, general manager, MC Truck & Bus Portsmouth.
