never again. they changed main and secondary batteries (or said they did) on my XC90, only in half a year for me to change them again. alternator was good, no electrical drain anywhere. so next time I will go to the official dealer, even though the dealer is more expensive (not much actually, when I look at both invoices next to each other).

Just recently brought our newly purchased 2009 xc90 4.4 32v v8 awd in for a post purchase inspection and service. Antonio was very kind and did not mind spending time with me even though this was my first time at IVS . He communicated recommendations of repairs quickly and kept me updated while my car was gone. My family also own a 1975 volvo 164e that we can't wait to bring by in the future. If you are looking for a competent volvo shop at fair rates look no further!

Antonio is great. Super nice and friendly. He always listens to my questions and helps explain what could be the issue. We do basic maintenance ourselves and only need a pro when we really need a pro. It s great to know he is there when we need him. He fair and knows his cars.

Independent Volvo has always been fantastic! I found them to be very reasonably priced and today they changed my battery VERY quickly. I should be out within 15 minutes. DON T EXPECT THAT WITH EVERYTHING, but in a pinch Antonio got me in and out extremely quickly. Thank you!!

Antonio is a class act. He has taken care of our two Volvos for over ten years. He tells it the way it is, offers reasonable prices, and does high quality work. I had issues more than once at Lawrence Volvo across the street; have not had the same issues here. Highly recommended.

First off, positive overall. I recommend these guys, but I am disappointed with whoever put my tie rods in without even eyeballing the alignment. Probably a one off event, but that is the only negative thing I have to say about the experience. They are very informative and know what they are doing with Volvos. I love my 850, and wouldn't take it to any other shop.

Antonio is one of the most honest and fair service persons we have ever known. Independent Volvo Service (IVS) handles all of our autos, Volvo, BMW, Honda and Toyota. His prices are great, service is great... in the more than ten years that we have been going to IVS we have not had to take a car back for any mistakes made during a service. Whenever anyone asks us about car service, we say, "Go to Antonio".

Antonio is an absolute sweetheart. I took my dear XC90 in for a VIDA/DICE diagnostic, and Antonio provided the results free of charge.He took the time to explain which of the codes were relevant to the problem I was trying to address, as well as a couple of other codes indicating an issue I wasn't aware of.All this for a customer who hadn't indicated they wanted to pay to have services done? Golly gee, I can't even begin to imagine the kind of service they provide for paying customers!

I took my car here...The first redflag was they quoted me 400 did that work and then called me to tell me they found something else wrong and the price went up over 1,000 dollars. I trusted them and let them do the more expensive repair. They changed the catalytic converter and didn't return the old one which I requested. They didn't bleed the system and now my radiator burps out coolant. They also left a bolt unattached and just left it under the hood.I wouldn't bring my car back here. idk if it's because I'm a girl and they took advantage of me or if they're just incompetent.

Antonio is the man to talk to here! Gave me a reasonable and honest price, compared to the Volvo dealership down the street! I can definitely recommend this place to anyone who owns a Volvo! And will continue taking my S60 here from now on!

I purchased my volvo 2011 xc60 from carmax in April. Soon after the abs would just stop whenever it wanted to and I thought not to much of it. In the last few months it would happen more frequently so I had it serviced at this Volvo. Mind you I went in to the dealership with my concern a few weeks prior to having it serviced at Walnut Creek Volvo. Upon service i detailed my account of the abs stops even provided a picture of the reading that came on when it happened. I was told that i have to purchased a new front window that was costly for me. Simultaneously Carmax said they would like to inspect the car . Volvo was more concern with selling me parts 1,000 for a window that may or may not fix the problem and , if I was going to pay the additional day for the loaner, and after three days didn't have the courtesy to wash the car . Don't want to play the black card but .......!I will Never go there again.

Very professional and amazing service. It's so nice to bring my car to a mechanic and not instantly get the feeling that I'm going to get ripped off because I'm a woman. I don't have to have my husband drop off our vehicles anymore.
