I realize this is the same review I put on Yelp but I have been so happy with this place that I am posting here as well. Johnny has fixed my car 3 times, drivers door got gashed, my gas pump flap wouldnt close and when a piece of trim got ripped off. Each time the repair made the car as good as new and done unbelievably quickly and Johnny is super friendly and helpful. Johnnys prices were really reasonable. He actually fixed the door gash for less money than my insurance paid. He is my go to.
Larry and the guys are very personable and excellent at diagnosis for vehicles. You know your car will be done right and right the first time. And i dont give out 5 stars only because you can always be better
BJ and the mechanics do a great job of providing honest, quality and timely work. I needed to have my Saab serviced and they were very patient and informative through the entire process. It’s difficult to find a mechanic that is familiar with Saabs, and they did a fantastic job. It’s a pleasure to do business with them.
BJ and Larry have done a great job on my 2006 SAAB - keeping it running, reliable, and safe.
Larry and his team took great care of my car. They had reasonable prices, and drove me to/from the Lafayette BART station! They used the same parts as the dealership, for less money. They make it easy to support local businesses!
I have been a loyal customer for many years as larry and his team have serviced the Volvo 740 which has just passed 332,000 miles! these folks are professionals, have extensive experience. the repairs are done correctly in a timely manner. they are honest and provide 5 star customer service.
Thorough, explained things clearly and quick service. Very trustworthy!
Larry and his team are doing a great job here. They are upfront, straightforward and I never feel like I’m getting sold on more than I need for my Volvo. They also gave me a free ride to Bart, which I appreciated! I’ll be back!
Manager Larry Nelson and crew are fantastic! We have been taking our Saab 9-3 and Volvo XC70 to Svenssons for a number of years and they have never disappointed. Larry is a joy to work with, down to earth, and always takes the time to make sure we are taken care of. In addition, Larry is extraordinary at diagnosing problems, always makes the correct repairs, and oversees all maintenance and repairs performed. Larry goes above and beyond to save us money by only repairing only what is needed. We will continue to go to Svenssons Automotive as long as Larry is there to manage it.
As a shade tree mechanic, at best, I got myself confused about the right next step to fix my Saabs climate control. I called Svensson for help. Larry took me the same day I called, took me in quickly, and helped me diagnose the problem. I did what he said and alls well! He couldnt have been nicer. I highly recommend. Thanks Larry!
Larry is friendly, professional and knowledgeable, as are all the mechanics! 9-3 feels right as rain after a boost from Svensson!And I love the Saab T-Shirts!! 😂
Great place for Saabs. Larry really knows his stuff.Recommended
Larry is one of the nicest, most honest and straight forward mechanics Ive ever encountered. Always willing to work with you and explain the work hes doing. Wouldnt take my Saab anywhere else!
I cannot say enough kind words about Larry at Svenssons! They are the best auto repair shop in lafayette, with years of knowledge and expertise. If youre looking for an honest mechanic near you, look no further. Amazing crew they have there.
Had my 1999 9-5 Saab radio remarried at this place. They did it quickly and charged a fraction of what others would have. The manager and workers were friendly and knowledgeable. Will be coming back here to get my next big repair done.
They did a great job! They replaced my fender (quickly considering my car is somewhat dated) and fixed a broken window. Not only that but they finished a day earlier than expected and even took my car to the car wash down the street before I picked her up. Definitely the best body-shop experience Ive had.
This is a friendly, competent, trustworthy auto shop. I have had both engine work and body work done and have always been pleased with the results.
Best service for your Volvo, Saab, Mercedes, BMW and Audi. Larry Nelson, the manager, is a true specialist. We had them service our cars (Volvo, Mercedes, Audi and even our Porsche) since 1985. We strongly recommend them for their troubleshooting skills over any dealer mechanics.
I have been their customer for twenty years and they are the best.
I have a buddy who took his Infiniti G37S coupe and after looking at it was very disappointed, the gaps on all areas they repaired were very unprofessional and to top it off it looks like they rushed on the polish with damn glare marks everywhere, definitely told him never to come back 😑
This is a great auto repair shop that has management and a top notch mechanic staff that cares about doing a great job at a fair price. Do you yourself a favor and call them for whatever you need, engine repair, brake replacement, shocks and struts, you name it!
Excellent service. They fixed my headlight for way under what the dealership wanted to charge.
Ive known Larry and BJ over at Svenssons for years and theyve always provided amazing service. This last visit, I needed body work done on my Toyota Sienna and Johnny took on the task. He did an incredible job and finished the work over two days before I expected the my car back. I highly recommend the entire team over there!
They did an absolutely phenomenal job to my rear bumper. PLEASE take your car here if there are any repairs/maintenance needed!!!
Great service. Fast, efficient, friendly
This place is transparent in their transactions and always get the job done very well!
Volvo Specialties. Can help u with any thing.
Larry and his team are doing a great job here. They are upfront, straightforward and I never feel like I’m getting sold on more than I need for my Volvo. They also gave me a free ride to Bart, which I appreciated! I’ll be back!
If you own a Saab, this is the best shop in N. Cal.
The best auto body in the Bay definitely
Larry (who answered the phone) at Svenssons Automotive was FANTASTIC. He really helped me today, so I wanted to take a minute out to publicly THANK HIM and of course to thank Svenssons Automotive. Larry was quick and efficient in finding the information I needed. He even went the extra mile to check on details that I was unaware of.So Thank you Svenssons Auto and Thank You Mr. Larry. I truely appreciate the good service.
Competent, careful and very reasonable rates. Glad I found Larry for my Saab!
Best SAAB service in Bay Area, Larry knows SAAB inside and out, by just describing problem he usually knows the cause!
Expert service, great parts inventory, dependable.
