David is the kindest, most honest auto shop owner you will ever come across! Sold him my old jeep, in which he gave me a great price for. I highly recommend you go here for any of your car needs. This is a business you can trust!

David (owner) is a knowledgeable and competent diagnostician. Bought my car here and currently dropping a friend's vehicle for service. We keep coming back.

Our son was having overheating issues with his (inherited from my husband) '99 9-3, and happened to see these guys as he drove by, phew! Pulled right in, and was treated quickly, enthusiastically, kindly, respectfully, HONESTLY and was given more services than he asked for, not being charged for the "bennies"-- he is so psyched to find someone close to him who is enthusiastic, specialized, honest and friendly, and we are thrilled that our beloved Saab continues to be loved and cared for. Many thanks to your shop, from a different shop up North!Service: Electrical repair

The staff here are so friendly and helpful. Never quick to make an assumption to get your business but just tell it like it is. They fit my car in fast when I towed it in with AAA and the parts and repair cost to fix her up was more than fair. They even took time to show me the broken part, why it malfunctioned and what effect that had on my engine. They treated me respectfully and charged me a fair price. These guys are my number one go to Volvo mechanics for sure! I'll be back next week to get a service completed and get new wiper blades! Thanks guys for a great car experience (when you aren't sure what the heck the outcome might be).Don't hesitate to check out this amazing business.

I have been going to Eric and David for more than 10 years. They have always been honest and done great work. Recently thought I had a major problem with the car, but after they inspected it, I was told it was a minor issue they were able to resolve. That's typical of them. These are the honest mechanics you've been looking for!

I have been going to this shop for over 20 years. My last two cars were Saabs. They have always been fair, honest and available even if last minute. William is a mainstay mechanic. There is comfort in consistency.Hakan and David are always pleasant providing great customer service.Look around and do your research, but I highly recommend this automotive repair shop for your automobile needs.

DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!I brought a 2004 Saab to this bmw/saab shop that had already been serviced by an official BMW dealership a month prior. Errors promised were fixed tricky electrical issues a week later returned. Never again. The dealership charged me over $2k.That is not a typo. I came across Santa Monica's Volvo-Saab by sheer luck. The technicians were beyond amazing; totally honest and professional. Reasonable $ no one can deny. Really grateful and relieved. Thanks guys!

These guys know Saabs! I brought my newly purchased vintage 900 to them for a checkout. They gave it a clean bill of health after reconnecting a switch at no charge, and spent time educating me on best operating practices from a mechanic's viewpoint.

The works is always done in a timely manner and within a fair price range! Would recommend anyone to go there. My 1993 Volvo 240 is well taken care of here.

In these problematic times of fake news and dubious promises it is comforting to find a group of true professionals together in the same location for decades. David, Erik, Hakan, Magnus, William and Saul know their craft, they are honest, dependable, reasonably priced, and treat everybody with respect and genuine desire to help. That may be the reason why we - their customers - have been coming back to the blue-and-yellow painted shop time and time again. Sometimes just to say hello. If you need a repair, or a car, check the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Centinela Avenue first. The shop may not look dazzling, but it has integrity. A rare find nowadays.

Very unhappy. I walked in. Noticed the swastika on the left turned vertical but then the white man at the desk very hostile yelled "what do you want!" I walked out. Never went back. I drive jaguars now. Many whites love how hate feels.its a sickness. I dpnt give my money to bad people.

Lots of confusion. Bought a Saab that l liked and found out that it has significant problem. Oil leaking, front suspension problems,headlights went out, brake problems. As a mechanic and owner how do you either not know or know and don't care.
