I brought my Volvo in with transmission concerns after having it at two other shops. SwedeOne was able to correctly diagnose and repair my car. They finished the repair ahead of schedule and even did an adjustment to my climate controls as a courtesy. They know Volvos!

I cannot say enough great things about this company!!! I recently had a nightmare situation with my daughter’s Volvo while getting her moved back home from Portland to Denver. Working with Swede One put my mind at ease very quickly! Being out of state, I was beyond stressed that I was going to be completely screwed over. Dave was very understanding, empathetic to our situation and ensured me they would stay within my budget to diagnose the problem and hopefully be able to fix it very quickly. He even stayed late to help us coordinate getting the car towed to the shop! Warren was the mechanic who worked on the car and did such an amazing job communicating with me what was wrong, what he was doing to fix it and helping me coordinate coming into town to drive the car back to Colorado. Warren even took extra time to make sure the car was dependable before my daughter had to take the long drive. As a mom, this peace of mind means the world to me!Dave and Warren are very honest mechanics who truly care about their customers! This is a quality not found very often in this industry! I highly recommend them!

Ive been here twice now and had a great experience both times. They have fixed the problem both times I went. They have upfront pricing and Ive never been upsold. The last thing I took my car in for was only a $51 service but they still took the time to clean my car inside and out. It sometimes takes a few days to get in, but its always worth it. Highly recommend.

Brought a car for a Pre-Purchase inspection and the guys were extremely helpful. They inspected the vehicle very thoroughly and gave me great advice. I was able to get a great deal on the car because of the information they gave me. Well worth the money!

Always fair prices, great advice. The owner and staff has always treated me and my mother with the utmost respect and kindness. Ive never regretted sending my car to Swede One, Ive only regretted NOT doing it.

I just bought a used Volvo and brought it to them to do an all around check. They have been so patient with all of my questions and concerns. I am very impressed with their service/work and customer service. Other auto repair companies should be more like them. Swede One is an amazing and oustanding company! I will recommend them to anyone!

I bought my Volvo from Swede One and recently had to take it in for an oil change and service. I found the service department at Swede One to be very good. They took the time to explain all the work that had been done and the reasons that parts need to be replaced, they were professional, thorough and very knowledgeable about the car. I definitely recommend them for service on your Volvo.

2 years ago my Volvo S40 2001 was repaired at Swede One Autoworkers. They changed a gasket and changed the timing belt because oil was leaking on it. I paid $1500 for the repairs. This year, in August, I brought my car to them again, because it was dying in reverse. They didnt fix the problem. They returned the car to me and said that they couldnt get it to die. I paid another $140 for nothing, because the didnt fix it. The engine was sounding worse than before, and it was still dying in reverse. After a few days the check engine was on. I decided to bring the car back to them to see if now that the check engine was actually on, they would actually fix it. When they were repairing it, I had a conversation with them on the phone. They told me that the part that they changed 2 years ago failed. They said they never seen it happening before. They also said that they needed to change the timing belt again, but that I didnt have to pay for it, because it was still in warranty. When I asked how much it would cost, they said probably around $100, but they ended up charging around $324 for the repair, because they had to put in new sealants. I asked to change my windshield nozzle on the passenger side, but they actually told me that they changed the one on the driver side because it was broken (?). The nozzle was spraying all on a side, so my windshield situation was worse than before. 20 days later, the check engine was on again and they changed a valve for less than $300. They changed both of the windshield nozzles and charged me for both. I was charged two times for one of the nozzles. 2-3 days later the check engine was on again. Thats when I decided to take it somewhere else. The other car repair had to do again what they did. They didnt fix it right, and there was a oil lick from under the head of the engine that was never fixed. I ended up having to pay another $1000 because they never really fixed it.STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

If your looking for foofoo coffee and pastries this is not it. If your looking for a solid mechanic that will shoot straight, stand behind their work, and charge appropriately, Swede One is it.

Good mechanics. Had my old Volvo S40 in and out in a few hours. Pricey, but Im always willing to pay more for good quality service. Check out the show room if you are into vintage Volvos.

They were super helpful and friendly with my V40, even when delivering the bad news of my compromised head-gasket. They called me as soon as the found it and called me to ask if I wanted to continue the inspection given the high cost of that single repair. I declined and they gave it back with no charge at all. They even helped me later that day when I called back to try and get my stereo code to unlock the stereo. I was very impressed and will take all my future Volvo business to them.

They were able to perform the diagnostics and repairs that other shops couldnt on our xc90. The price was reasonable and the staff was very friendly with no aggressive up sale.

The other shop that I trust with my Volvos. This is for the Repair side as I have not purchased a car from these folks.I was referred to them by my usual Volvo guys for the dashboard/computer issues that they arent equipped to handle. They work quickly, the rates are reasonable, shop is in good repair.Rather than buying an entire new dash module for thousands, they instead removed the console, and sent it in to have it rebuilt for a fraction of the cost. Expertly removed and reinstalled, I could not find a scratch or lost bolt anywhere after their work.If you have one of the early P2 Volvos with an automatic transmission, you might be aware of the need for a new valve body and programming on many of them (the Rev-and-Clunk from a stop, Hello Limp home mode). Swede One rebuilt my 03 V70XC transmission quickly, didnt screw up sealing it. The price hurt, (transmission work always does) however they were still lower than most other quotes and had the endorsement of the guys whove been fixing my Volvos for 17 years before this.The car was solid as a rock (trust me, I tried to force errors, it was shifting/starting like oiled silk without a care in the world) until an idiot crossed the yellow on Rocky Butte, totaling the poor wagon a few months later.Found an 02 Manual V70 T5 with only 50k miles on it afterward (Long story, Nebraska Truck-lot find at an incredible price, see one of my few other reviews), Its in great shape (practically new) so Ive not had a reason to visit again, but Ill trust them in a heartbeat if the situation arises.

I purchased a 2001 s80 in December 2016 and it has had several problems now including a oil pan leak , Jim the salesman says its because I drove it in winter conditions but thats what a Volvo is for , it has winter mode - because I sent a adult rated email to the sales manager, Warren the service manager is refusing me repairs on a certified pre owned, this car is far from certified, Dave the owner is a cool guy , he gets left in the dark and hears one sided stories from his employees.
