In 1947, my grandparents, under contract with Shell Belgium, opened the “Simbra” service station.
It will quickly become the largest in the region. Very quickly the passion for mechanics takes my grandfather.
He falls in love with the line of a beautiful Swedish girl. His station then became a workshop-garage dedicated to the Volvo brand.
This brand is not yet well represented and known in Belgium but he already saw in it a symbol of reliability, robustness and safety.
In our eyes, even today, the Volvo still retains these values.
