I love this shop! I bought my Volvo XC70 here about eight years ago. It is a solid car approaching 200k. IFA has maintained the car for me all of these years. While Dave might seem gruff at times, hes really a great owner! He always makes sure that my car is in good shape and remembers my name every time I stop by unexpected.But a car here... Maintain your car here!

Probably the best independent Volvo garage east of the Mississippi river.

Dave was able to figure out something that had baffled every other mechanic and Volvo specialist for the past 3 years -- he recognized that my Mass Air Flow Sensor (replaced 3 years ago) on my 2002 Volvo V40 station wagon was from a sh&^ty manufacturer. He found one of the original parts, and shipped it to me in Florida, where I had a local mechanic install it. It was unbelievable! He is a Volvo whisperer for sure. Take your cars there.

They really know what they’re doing here. Nice guys and outstanding breadth of knowledge. Work gets done punctually and they keep you in the loopThey just get really really busy so you need to book over a week in advance sometimes

I have been going to Dave for 10+ years. He is very honest. I never leave his buisness feeling as if I was ripped off. I have owned 4 volvos and I only bring them to Dave. I highly recommend if you drive a volvo in the Ithaca or surrounding areas have it serviced here.

Came up to Ithaca for the weekend from NYC. My back pads and rotors were shredded. Brought it to them early Friday morning when I got there, explaining them my situation, they fixed everything I needed + a few other things at an extremely reasonable rate. They know there Volvos and are quality people

They know all you need to know about your Volvo.

Review №13

They simply know more about Volvos than anyone locally. I strongly recommend them, particularly if your Volvo is older than a 2000.

So thankful for this mechanic. Dave and his team have always been honest, knowledgeable and reliable. So much so that I have talked my partner into buying a used Volvo now, too! They will tell you what needs to be done, and never try to do extra or price-gouge. As a single parent, they have saved my behind transportation-wise before, sneaking us in short notice for an emergency.

Ithaca Foreign Car is in every way, shape, and form the best mechanic I have ever dealt with.. Ithaca Foreign Car is incredibly affordable and does amazing work. Because they only work on Volvos, they have a level of experience that lets them do work faster (less billed hours) and better than anyone else.They recently performed a large service on my 85 240, and what was quoted at over $1500 at the (honest) Volvo dealer back home was less than $400 at Ithaca Foreign Car. I literally cant express enough how great they are.Im looking to buy a new car sometime in the coming months, and Im going to buy another Volvo because of Ithaca Foreign Car.

I love these guys! They are always so helpful and honest. I find their work to be excellent, and I would recommend them to any volvo owner.

As honest a shop as you will ever hope to find. Prices are incredibly reasonable and you can be assured you will never be sold on unnecessary parts or service. We own two Volvos specifically because we only want to deal with IFC.

The place to go for Volvo, nicknamed the heaviest corner on the planet. A bit pricey, but they get the job done right and on time. Always packed with a backlog, sometimes takes a week or more to get an appointment.

Review №23

I had a 500 mile road trip to take. The morning that I was leaving, my turn signal lever broke. I called to see if there was anything they could do for me with no notice and almost no time to actually work on it. They went out of their way to help me out, and did it fast and at a great price.

Went when I needed a headlight for my Saab, not realizing they only service Volvos. They looked up the correct bulb, fixed the wiring, and replaced it anyway.
