This place is wonderful! Being a women who sometimes feels intimated is always a problem when I need my car repaired. Walter and his team not only told me what I needed to get done but what could wait. They are friendly and efficient plus do great work. I found a car shop I can trust!

I just got my car back from it's 90K service at Swedish Volvo in Campbell. I can't be happier. I have been taking my car to a competitor after the factory warranty ran out. The service and prices at Swedish Volvo care is way better than my old place, and a 100% better than the dealership. Everyone at Swedish Volvo is kind and professional. Walter the owner went over everything that needed to be done, and gave me updated prices before he started anything. My car was back earlier than the time quoted. I will never take my Volvo to anyone else.

Swedish Volve Care is the best! I have been taking my wife's car XC90 to Walter and his crew for years and have never had a problem. We recently had an issue with the car's transmission. We called Swedish Volvo Care and they got us in the next day. Less than 24 hours my wife had her car back and it works great. Walter always gives us great service, and his prices are awesome.If you are looking for an honest shop with great service and prices to work on your Volvo, go to Swedish Volvo Care. They are the best!

I am really glad I found this place. The service manager Walter is very friendly and he genuinely cares about the work that is done, a quality that is so hard to find these days! The price is super reasonable and you get a detailed itemization of all work done on your invoice, together with recommendations for future service. The place specializes in Volvo cars, so it is definitely my new go to place for the family Volvo. Thanks Walter!Service: Oil change

Dont be saying you care about customer feedback when you haven't even replied to my 1st complaints. I'm still really upset Walter lied to me. He told me I had to replace my whole brake lights units because when he replaced the light bulb, it didnt work. He was charging me $700 just to repair one side of the brake lights. But when i went to a different mechanic, they were only charhing me $400. But the worst part was i found out that my light unit wasnt even broken, just the bulb. I only had to replace the BULB. That $700 fix turned to a $15 cost. Walter I pray that you go BANKRUPT.

I have been going to this place for the last 6 years. I have a very old Volvo XC90. Walter is very knowledgeable and caring person. He tackles the problem till it is resolved and informs you of the solution and the cost upfront. Knowing this type of cars are not cheap to fix, but at least Walter has made it running. Thank you for your service and honesty!Services: Electrical repair, Electrical, Auto battery maintenance, Oil change

Pretty hard to reach someone over the phone here, left my Volvo for visual/drive inspection, took 3days before i could here that my car was ready but kinda seemed like they're too busy to want to work on my car,( I was told my cars was perfectly fine) i ended up doing myself,inner/outer tie rods, shocks, driveshaft center bearing, valve cover gasket, pcv oil system etc.. stuff i was willing to pay to get done here, but in the end i took my time and saved some $$.But Walter is very friendly and helpful '

Walter is always super helpful and accommodating. I've taken my V60 to Swedish Volvo multiple times, for a purchase/safety check, a weird fuel canister issue, and to replace the AC evaporator. Always top notch service. I highly recommend Walter and his team to provide technically competent and caring service.

PLEASE TRY OUT OTHER PROFESSIONAL MECHANICS BEFORE GOING HERE. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS. MY 1ST EXPERIENCE, I HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP AND IT TOOK HIM 3 MONTHS TO DO IT. IT WORKED GREAT. I PAID $2500 EVEN AFTER WAITED 3 MONTHS. I EVEN BOUGHT HIM AND HIS WHOLE SHOP EXPENSIVE DONUTS FOR A TREAT. BUT THEN, WHEN MY BREAK LIGHTS WENT OUT, HE SAID I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT. HE WANTED TO CHARGE MY $700 TO CHANGE THE WHOLE UNIT BECAUSE SUPPOSEDLY, HE PUT A NEW LIGHT BULBIN AND IT DIDNT WORK. ALSO, HE WANTED TO CHARGE ME FOR TROUBLESHOOTING. THIS GUY WILL MILK YOU.I felt fishy, so I decided to look out at other mechanics and they were charging me $400. But the problem was only the LIGHT BULB. So WALTER, you must need new glasses because you are blind.

Hands down the best Volvo service shop in the Bay Area. Walter and his team are very skilled, thoughtful, and trustworthy. I know that here my S60 will be diagnosed and fixed properly, quickly and at a very reasonable price. I can't recommend them enough. Also, once I had an electrical problem that they couldn't fix and Walter sent me to the most incredible auto electrical guys ever (Total Auto Tech). I like knowing that, if needed, they will send me to someone equally great. Go here, they deserve your business.

Volvo's aren't the most common cars and with that comes even fewer mechanics who really know them well. Walter not only knows these cars well, but is incredibly honest about what you do/do not need.Also, if your a Volvo fan his parking lot is a great place to spot some incredible cars.

I called Swedish Volvo Care for a second opinion on what I was being told by the Volvo dealer @ Stevens Creek regarding repair costs and general dealership shenanigans. In short, I wish I'd never purchased those useless extended warrantee / protection plans things from the dealership, and instead could bring my Volvo XC90 here for servicing and repairs due to the honesty of people who work here, better prices and faster service.

This is a really good shop. Walter is very knowledgeable and he is more than glad to explain all the details to his clients. As long as we have our XC90 we will be bringing it here when work is needed.

Highly recommend bringing your Volvo here! I had brought my S70 in for a brake light question & the gentleman actually took the time to understand the problem & literally got his hands dirty right then & there to fix the problem & explained to me what it is. He said he can offer to fix it but also wasn't pushy like others that want you to use their shop. I was in an accident with the car & he offered shops & companies that might carry the replacement parts I needed. Offered to pay him for the help & he said it was his pleasure & refused the money. (Left it anyways) but don't see that kind of service to often anymore! Thanks again

First service leaving the dealership, and I should have done it sooner. Service was easy to schedule. Walter was great to work with and the work was reasonably prices. Will be back!

I have nothing but praise for these guys. They might charge more per hour than standard mechanics but there is NO SUBSTITUTE for having a specialist work on your car. They see Volvos day in and day out and they KNOW every single problem point and trouble area. The "cheaper" mechanic I was going to previously racked up hundreds in experimental maintenance that failed to fix two problems, so I took it to Swedish Auto Service instead. They knew exactly how to fix one problem and fixed the other one (an emissions error code) with a new gas cap. Seriously, a gas cap seal was causing a problem that had totally flummoxed my previous mechanic, and thanks to their experience they were able to solve it quickly and cheaply.To sum up, if you have a Volvo, bring it here for everything, oil changes included. You'll be glad you did.

Walter could have sold me a "new everything" A/C system, but wanted to check it out first and see what I actually needed, potentially saving hundreds.

They were honest and helpful. They even fixed my mirror for a price lower than what other places were quoting me
