I wouldnt take my Volvo anywhere else. Swedish Pit is the best.

Awesome. These guys are a bedrock institution, caring for and keeping Volvos running smoothly with grace and aplomb.

Brought my trusty steed, ‘05 XC70, in for a solid once over. Having owned a Volvo for sometime now, and talking with people who are diehard Volvoists, you really want someone who knows these cars across the board, up and down.Right off the bat, I love everything from the painted Swedish flags, to the wood paneling on the inside. Scott brought my car in after a quick spin, came out with a list of things he noticed, presented them in a hierarchy of needs style, and then offered to replace the top priority, left rear wheel bearing.A mere hour later, I was back in my car, now far less noisy to drive, with a list of what could and should be done next. Scott was thorough, honest, and his knowledge seems to permeate in every sentence. And I got a few stickers!Gold Stars abound!

Great place worked well with us and very pleasant to deal with. Scott was great. Highly recommend your Volvo work to be done here.

Knowledgeable with great service

Incredibly thoughtful and considerate staff that take their time to explain issues and solves in great detail and with full transparency. Quality service and repair at fair prices. The Swedish Pit is the Volvo Specialists!

I have a Volvo with an intermittent problem. Every once in a while it wont start. I called around for help and have been told there isnt much that can be done until it doesnt start. I decided to try a Volvo expert figuring with all of the Volvos over the years this expert must have seen something similar. I described the problem over the phone and he agreed he could troubleshoot a few things.I dropped my car off at around 8:30 AM. At around 10:00 AM he called and told me the car was starting fine and he couldnt tell what was wrong until it didnt start. I was disappointed. This is the opposite of what he told me on the phone but fair enough. I told him to leave it and I would collect it as soon as I could get a ride.When I went to pick my car up he presented me with a list of repairs he thought it needed that totaled about $2000. My car was just inspected ten days earlier and none of those items were mentioned and many of them would have caused the car to fail an inspection. He also presented me with a bill for a half hour of labor. When I asked him about what he did for a half hour on my car he couldnt answer. He just told me he drove it into the garage and put it up on the lift. This seemed strange to me because he told me he couldnt work on my car because it was starting and we agreed to leave it be.Not only did he not try to diagnose the original problem (he explained he couldnt because the car was starting) he took it upon himself to do some work I didnt want or need and then charge me for the time it took him to do it. Upon discussing this with him he actually stood up and yelled at me and told me to get the hell out of here. I actually felt afraid, especially when the other mechanic came in and started giving me a hard time.I would have had no problem paying him for his time had he at least given me a list of things he did pertaining to my original problem. That would have been time well used and money well spent if he could have at least eliminated some things that werent wrong with my starting system. Instead, he couldnt be bothered to eliminate obvious problems (a loose wire, a corroded connection, etc.) but was more than happy to do $2000 worth of work to my car it didnt need.There is a reason this place is known as the money pit around town. I didnt heed the warning and I am glad I survived my experience with him to spread the word. It seems he lied to me on the phone to get my car to his shop and then once it was there he tried to get me to have a bunch of work done that it didnt need.

Friendly staff, took care of my R and prices not bad at all for the high quality of work done.. Thank you again guys yall got a customer for life here...

Jim is a legend. He can hand build a Volvo that meets racing capabilities. Jim has passed on his knowledge to his son, Scott, who also does a great job. This business is the epitome of a small, quality, hardworking American business, albeit they work on Swedish machines. Aside from being great mechanics, they are fun, humorous, and smart. A great place to take your vehicle. Skeptics need only ask questions and not be put off by Jims sarcasm. He has been working on Volvos his entire life and will answer any question if the wary car owner can stifle their pride. Five stars and beyond for this place.

Went here because I had heard good things about them. Bought a car and have had a perpetual computer problem with it ever since. They have offered to keep repairing it, but the last two times it was in they only cleared the codes. Not really a repair. They did offer to buy it back, for half what I paid them for it. Not what I would call a fair offer. Its too bad, I liked their mechanics, they did good work, but the owner is a true used car salesman. Dont trust him further than you can see him.

Totally trustworthy and full of integrity. Loved my experience with them

Great service and prices.

My 2004 XC70 gradually developed several computer anomalies and finally wouldnt start. I had it towed to the Swedish Pit, and they did some temporary fixes so that I could use it until they got what they needed to do a more complete job. I took it back and had the rest of that job done and also had the timing belt replaced, as well as some other incidental things that needed attention. Jim kept me apprised all the way through the process, so there were no surprises when I got the final bill. Some of the items were things that I had priced at a couple of other places, and Swedish Pit was substantially lower than other estimates I had been given. I would highly recommend Jim, Scott and crew - they dont rush through a job, but I was pleased how quickly I got the car back considering what needed to be fixed or replaced.

If you own a Volvo dont bother bringing your vehicle elsewhere. These guys do honest, quality work for a reasonable price and know Volvos top to bottom.

Great Volvo Service, at Reasonable Rates

Wouldnt trust my car to anyone else! Their excellent care us the reason I drive only Volvos!
