Sweden Volvo Repair

Robert suggested performing a transmission fluid “flush” on my 2002 Volvo S60 with 191k miles, noting the original fluid looked dark and burned and that no prior maintenance was done. I’m not a car engineer—just a physicist working in medical devices—but I understand enough about mechanics that “flushing” an older transmission can be risky, in terms of dislodging debris that older components rely on for friction, potentially causing slippage or other issues. When I expressed concern, Robert said that if problems occurred afterward, “the issue was already there.” While that’s partially true, this kind of aggressive service on a high-mileage transmission without history is not something standard Volvo dealers would recommend. He also quoted me about $6,000 for suspension work, though the sc

I have been taking my mother's Volvo to Sweden Volvo for several years. I'm very satisfied with his work. I used to take it to a Volvo dealer in Irvine but after it closed down, it was difficult to find another honest repair shop. The remaining Volvo dealers in Orange County left a lot to be desired and they didn't have the kind of quality personnel that Irvine had, so we were disappointed. Then I did research and found that Sweden Volvo had the highest ratings among the other Volvo repair shops, even in Orange County. I was impressed by Robert's honesty and his knowledge of Volvo automobiles. Robert is kind and always willing to explain the repairs he makes or that he proposes to make on your car in a very down to earth and understandable manner. I always feel comfortable because of his t

Robert is the best Volvo technician I have dealt with in repairing my s40. I was referred to him by one of my neighbors, and his shop has done many repairs, both large and small, on my vehicle. Robert is very knowledgeable, as he has many years of experience, and is able to explain in detail what the challenges are and how he will repair it with understandable description, and has put my car on the rack and shown me what is failing, and then shows me again after he does the repairs...what was replaced. He developed an ongoing assessment with me on the state of my car and kept me aware of repair work that would be coming up, how much it would cost, and a reliable time frame for bringing it in and having the work done. Most of my work was done same day, if I was able to bring it in when

Robert has been my mechanic since he opened his shop some 18 years ago. I have an 89 Volvo 740 with 311,000 miles on it and a 2005 S60 with 112,000 miles. They both have the original engine and transmission. I bought them both new and thanks to Robert they both still run like new. Robert is incredibly honest and hard working. Volvo cars and repair are his passion and with his 30 plus years of experience he knows what he is doing. In all the years he has worked on my cars I have never had to take the car back a second time for the same problem. Another shop may low ball the repair estimate to get your business but will cost you more in the long run. Do yourself a favor and go to Robert at Sweden Volvo.

Robert is outstanding, a world class service person and mechanic. With my XC70, he was upfront and honest about what work needed to be done now, what should be done sooner rather than later, and what would need to happen eventually. This is a guy with integrity, that is in it for his customers, and for the long haul. Not going to rip you off with things you don't need, he wants your business for as long as you own a Volvo. He's got mine. It's not a place to come for a $25 oil change, or to repair something with cheap junk parts. You get what you pay for. Highly recommend.
