Everything was great until I went to pick up my car. I didn’t see it out front so asked the gentleman at the desk where it was and he said “out back”. Looked around for 5 minutes and couldn’t find it. Finally asked the person washing cars and he started looking as well. Finally found it in a far lot in back of the property that you could not see from the building. I was disappointed with their lack of professionalism. I never experienced this before at this place.

Service is friendly. However the mechanics are incompetent. Brought my Volvo in for AC troubles and told them it was more of an issue than just needing to be recharged. Picked car up and was told that the AC just needed to be recharged, two weeks later AC was not working. Had a head light that was out, was told it MIGHT be head light switch and would cost $400. I told them that is way to expensive for a MIGHT. I ordered part from eBay for $40 and replaced in literally 45 seconds. It was not the head light switch after all. After wiggling a few wires myself not a mechanic determined it was just a lose connection behind the bulb and fixed in 10 minutes. Bruce cox also quoted me 4 new tires and installation for $900, Cost Co is charging $500. Avoid this business!

I’ve taken my vehicles here for 8y, for all services, and they’ve always done great work. Excellent customer service and fast turnaround times. Transparent and fair parts & service pricing, and will let you know what’s important & what can wait. They always stand behind their work & give great quality advice - highly recommend them for all services.

Bruce Cox offers customer service that is rare to find these days. Responsive, efficient, honest and they stand by their work. I purchased my Volvo at Bruce Cox in 2006 and they keep it in top shape for my college senior. They have a great loaner program which makes it so much easier to get service on a work day. Charlie is the best and runs a top notch program!

I’ve used this place for 3+ years now with different cars. Every time the staff is friendly, communicative, knowledgeable and straightforward. I was referred to by my in-laws and I can’t imagine wanting to take my car anywhere else. Plus! They will give you a loaner car if you need one/they have one available which is perfect since they’re open M-F and I can swing by to drop off my car before work and pick up after. I trust everyone here to do quality work and check in with me if anything needs to be done ahead of time.

Bruce Cox Imports got my 1997 Volvo running after it broke down, and fixed everything that came up on my check engine codes shortly thereafter. I had cracked, leaking hoses, which they replaced, and they took the initiative to replace other cracked hoses before they started leaking, which saves me money down the road. Much appreciated! They kept me informed along the way both times my car was in their shop. They give accurate quotes that include tax so there are no big surprises. They are knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Washing and vacuuming the cars after service and prior to customer pick up is a very nice touch. Highly recommend Bruce Cox Imports!

They are totally professional and reasonable. They simply “get ‘er done” and don’t try to make all their profit from one Customer. Great folks to know if you have a Volvo! I think they work on some other cars too pretty sure Subaru

I’ve been bringing my Subaru here since moving to Bellingham 3 years ago. They are honest,fair pricing, take that extra step as well as loan a car to drive, clean my car both inside and out. They care about their work and safety of the driver. Won’t go anywhere else

Bruce Cox Imports is THE best, most professional & honest car shop in Bham. Bar none!After I bought my first “real adult” car after college in the early 90’s (a used Volvo after my 1972 VW Super Beatle), the owner showed me how simple it was to turn off the “idiot light” after an oil change my hubby did at home. At the time, we’d only owned old cars that had nothing so fancy with “idiot lights”.Several other shops I visited in town (before Bruce Cox) all claimed I needed close to $600 worth of ‘check points’…whatever that was…before turning off the light. Bruce said, “Nonsense.” And pulled out a ballpoint pen, poked a rubber button turning off the light, and told me he’d be happy to change my oil anytime for $35 in the future.They also wash & vacuum your car after any level of service…which I love! Especially when my kids where little & threw Cheerios & other food everywhere inside the car. 😊Great employees! Great service…every time! 👍🏾👍🏾

Review №19

The tech explained the situation clearly and described the work to be done and the cost. I had done my diagnostic homework before taking the car in so they didn’t lay something weird on me. Their inspection revealed a few other things needing non-urgent attention but didn’t try to pressure me into scheduling the work-I chose to forego the extra work. The original estimate was right on the money and they offered a 10% discount on my first visit which was a $200 saving. I recommend Bruce Cox service center.

My daughter’s Volvo died a few blocks away from Bruce Cox Imports. She managed to get the car to their shop where Kyle dropped everything to help her. They diagnosed the problem quickly, gave us an estimate and had the repair done within a few hours. I can’t thank them enough.

Great service, good quality, quick service.Fixed a door lock at minimal expense, fixed an erroneous warning light that another shop couldn’t figure out, did an overall inspection and discovered highly worn rear brakes which they replaced. Overall very competent and very professional.

Review №26

Brought car in for routine servicing (which was performed speedily) and to ask about “low battery” warnings that had been appearing on display for awhile. Turned out the voltage regulator was pooped out, so that the alternator was OVERcharging the battery. (Who knew that an overcharge would be announced as a “low battery”? But there is no “too-high battery” warning, so this is the best the car can do to signal its distress.) Had to send to L.A. for the part, which arrived speedily, but was broken when it got here. Fortunately, where California failed on the first round, New Jersey succeeded on the second, and I soon got my car back. All pretty uneventful. Thank you, Bruce Cox Imports!

These guys are so accommodating, they fit me in at my best interest and a quick one at that, and was also very patient with me bringing in my car for the next service. Kind folks here at Bruce Cox and do I mention the free loaner car they offer! Truly a great experience. Will be coming back for more servicing.

I have been using Bruce Cox Imports for a long time...20 years? I purchased at least one car from Bruce. His son, Charlie, is now doing a great job on keeping up the tradition.If you own a Volvo north of Seattle there is only one place to have it serviced: Bruce Cox Imports. And say hello to Margaret!!!

Everyone was very friendly and patient, had no idea what was wrong with my Subaru and they had her diagnosed and fixed by the next day! My locks were sticking which I forgot to mention but they noticed and lubed them up for me no charge just to be nice so now she locks and unlocks like a new car. They also mentioned what I should do work on next and gave me an estimate, all of it was at a great price in my opinion.

Great service and attention to details for the last 9 years I have been taking my car to Bruce Cox Imports. The Service Department always thoroughly checks my car over when I take it in for oil changes and lets me know when I need a new battery, etc. They hand wash my old 2007 Lexus beautifully and even clean the wheels. This last time they rotated the tires with no charge. They will provide loaner cars free of charge. I have the utmost confidence in them maintaining my car and wouldnt go anywhere else. Their shop is really, really clean. They are the best.

This is the best place in Bellingham to get any car fixed. They are honest, knowledgeable, courteous and go out of their way to help you; about most all makes especially Volvo, Lexus, Ford, Subaru, and BMW; all of which we have personally had serviced with them. We have also purchased Volvos and Subarus from them through the years that have performed above and beyond. We are so lucky to have them here in Bellingham.

I have experienced 20 years of great service. The current vehicle just had its 120,000 mile service. From big service to free headlight changes, the work is prompt, I am always treated with warmth and respect, and I always understand what is being done and why, without being oversold. I even get my tires here, good deal on great tires.

Charlie and Jerry were, as usual, just what one would want from an auto repair shop. They always present my various options to me before starting on any work. Work was professionally done and well on-time. They even went above and beyond by installing a WeatherTech floor covering for me that I had purchased online. No charge. Gave me a great, clean loaner and didn’t charge me “an arm and a leg”. And of course the complimentary car wash. I’ve been giving these guys my business for 3 decades now and will continue to do so!

When the battery in my car died, I called Bruce Cox imports hoping they could help. I was able to get it in right away, and the communication and quality of service was WAY above expectation.I worked with Charlie, who is very knowledgeable and experienced. They offered a complimentary loaner car for while my new battery was being installed.From start to finish I experienced nothing but professional work and friendly, honest service. They even filled a tire that I didn’t know was low, and checked over everything to make sure I would be driving away safe and sound.I don’t plan on going anywhere else for any car work, Bruce Cox has completely won our business.

Bruce Cox Imports takes care of both of my cars...a 2011 Volvo C70 and a 2012 Mercedes Benz ML350. Each time I have used their services for maintenance or repair has been a great experience. Jerry and Charlie are extremely knowledgeable, courteous and professional and the service technicians keep my vehicles running like new. What more could I ask? I highly recommend Bruce Cox Imports to anyone who needs automotive service and repair professionals they can genuinely trust.Sincerely,Dan O’Steen

Consistently outstanding, personalized care from Charlie, Jerry, Bruce, and the whole team. This is high-quality, honest service at very fair prices. I have repeatedly brought my car in for what I thought would be an unavoidable, expensive repair, only to hear from the team things like, Actually, theyre almost new (brakes) or We were able to repair the part without ordering a new one (cable harness). My wife also tells me how comfortable she feels going there, and respectfully communicated with, compared to many other garages. Plus... loaner cars. Great people, excellent service.

Review №87

I’ve never experienced such integrity among employees at a mechanic shop they go out of their way to ensure customer satisfaction and makes sure you aren’t over paying or getting a service not necessary. Its hard to gain my trust (especially a mechanic shop) and they’ve gained all of mine. I’ll never take my car to another shop and one of the many perks of bringing your car to them is that they always clean your car for even something as simple as a tire rotation or oil change! Super friendly and helpful staff I’ve never had a better experience.

Wow! Went in for a real scary sound, every other shop was busy and the gentleman at the counter was doing everything he could to try and squeeze me in when they were packed. He himself checked my car a few times on his own and turns out it was just something loose! Fixed it right there on the spot for me! Saved me the 100s of $s a diagnosis would have costed me, will certainly be back for anything I can!!
