Reliable, Honest Volvo Car Repair Needed near Mar Vista and West Los Angeles

I LOVE my mechanic (which seems to me almost as important as being happy with a gynecologist). I use Santa Monica Auto Center. When you call, you'll talk to either Eduardo or George. They're both great. We take two Volvos (including a 1986 240 DL) and a Honda there and have been really happy with their care. They stand behind their work. Eduardo even met me at the Honda dealer to explain everything he'd tried to fix an electrical problem! And he also went to bat for me when a part stopped working just after the warranty expired and got it replaced for free. Tell them E. sent you.

I take my Saab to 2 Guys From Sweden and they are right near you. I live in Pasadena and drive all the way out there because they are so great. I have gone to other "Swedish car mechanics" and only found mechanics who did poor work and ripped me off. These guys are great, honest, friendly, and are really from Sweden. Tord is the guy that you want, he does the Volvos (One does Saabs and one does Volvos). We always say that now we will only buy a Saab or a Volvo just because we don't want to search for a new mechanic. I wish everyone in my life was as honest and friendly as these guys. You won't be let down. They are on Sawtelle and Venice. Their number is ###-###-####. Good Luck. I wish I lived as close to them as you do!

I'm actually on a So Cal Volvo list (we have a '62 and a '01). :-)

Not sure how far this is from you, but this was posted on our list:

"I just started using Viking on Pico and 26th for my 82 242 turbo. Pricing is reasonable and they come recommended by other owners."

Hi R., We have been taking our 1991 S70 to Aziz at Barrington Motors for years. ###-###-####. It on on the corner of Gateway and Barrington.

They are always honost,trustworthy and do a great job.

Good luck, L.

this one is out of your way but it's always good to have a backup. beverly hills volvo at santa monica & la brea in west hollywood have become family to us over the last 10 years. our family is volvos only. they are incredibly honest and have sent me home many times without spending anything or a just minor tweak taking care of what i'd expected would be a major repair.

German Car Service, 2202 Olympic Blvd. (SW corner of Olympic and Cloverfield), Santa Monica CA 90404, ###-###-####. The owners are real German, so don't be put off if they don't have the best customer service conversation. I and my friends have been going there for years for repairing BMWs and Volvos.

Hi R. -

Last year we started taking our cars to Victoria Motors on Washington Blvd. It's on the south side of the street, near Foster's Freeze. After years of going to Westside Volvo, I decided to try them, and we are not a bit sorry. Nice people, very good work, fast service, the prices seem fair. The fact is, Volvos are expensive to have worked on; anything I don't absolutely HAVE to fix, I pretty much don't.

Hope you find a place you love,
Colleen

i would highly reccomend my fiance! not because he's mine but because he is too honest, backs his work & is a very good hearted man. "Johns Service Center" 210 S. Sepluveda in Manhattan Beach. ###-###-####. all my co-workers & friends & even my boss go to him now. he has been established there for nearly 20 years. i have had people brag about his work & he even fixed a squeak on my Tahoe that was a noise they all make...come from manufacturer that way. he figured out how to get rid of it! his name is Steve. (john is his brother & he purchased the business from him nearly 20 years ago) not Mar Vista but not that far. good luck...C.
