I've had 7 Volvos that I have taken to Brad for service over the past 34 years. Brad, Larisa and Mo make an excellent team and I trust them to keep my older cars running. And, since I typically start a Volvo ownership with 80K to 110K miles on the clock, I certainly have brought them some challenges. I don't shop around for Volvo repairs; I just stay with the caring team at Volvo Specialists.

Nice people. Very knowledable and customer driven. They worked hard on my 95 940 s heating and cooling system A/C wasn t blowing properly and not cold. I learned it s a tricky system with no parts available. They improved things by getting an better valve open/close combination. They also offered a proper, but custom, repair for a fair price. It was more than I wanted to invest, but was glad for the improvement. Thanks y all!

They do great work, for a relatively reasonable price especially compared to the dealer, and they seem honest and don't do or recommend repairs or servicing that is unnecessary.

Hands down the best place to take your Volvo for servicing. They kept me updated every step of way regarding my vehicle repairs.Volvo Specialists is a trustworthy and honest shop which is very hard to find in this day and age.Already recommended them to a friend of mine and I definitely will be a returning customer.

I worked in the automotive industry for 10 years. I LOVED my job but, unfortunately the shop I worked for was sold to a new owner.I had another reputable shop in Rockville that I took my Volvo's to that were unable to give me a concrete diagnosis on the problem our car was having.This is the first time I came to this shop. I was referred to them by my employer who used to take their cars about 15 years ago!!Let me tell you...Volvo Specialists are the REAL DEAL!! They gave me a complete diagnosis of my vehicle, the SAME DAY!! Mind you my appointment was the next day!! I was so impressed!The diagnosis fee is fair! I did not mention to them that I worked in the industry, purchased parts, or that I also worked on invoices and estimates.This is the type of mechanic work I want!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I will definitely be coming back!

My car driver seat wasn't working, they were able to identify the issue and fixed it. Before to that I went to multiple shops, I wasted my time there. Going forward if I've any issues with my Volvo I'll go to Volvo specialists

A very competent and able mechanic. He invited me on to the shop floor to look around under my car. He went a long way towards helping me restore my old Volvo. They have a very nice billing program that let me pick which parts to concentrate on.

First visit after 33 years with the same Volvo service. Wow! Moises was beyond friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and took his time with a concise explanation. I'm a happy new customer.

My husband was having a hard time finding people to work on our '93 Volvo because of its age. After checking a Volvo Facebook page, someone suggested Volvo Specialists. After speaking to Brad on the phone, my husband could tell he didn't consider our Volvo old at all and seemed enthusiastic to work on it. The work was completed in a timely fashion, and the car is running well. The only drawback is coming from Baltimore to get the car worked on, but we will continue to do so in the future because of the workmanship and customer service.Services: Auto water leak repair, Engine repair

When I decided to buy a Volvo, I searched for a place to that I could trust to service my car and based on the reviews and number of the fact that Volvo Specialists was an established business. I appreciate their expertise and fair pricing.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Battery, Oil changeServices: General repairs & maintenance, Battery, Oil change

I wish I had always gone to Volvo Specialists from the start for my car maintenance and repairs. I was referred by a friend to get a second opinion on a needed repair. They were upfront about their repair estimate and potential additional cost if they found anything else they needed to fix. Their fees are very reasonable and their work is professional. I'm ditching my old garage and going to Volvo Specialists from now on.Service: Auto maintenance

This is the only auto repair shop that I will take my Volvo to for any repair work needed. The mechanics are honest and I actually trust when they are telling me the repairs that are needed vs those that are wish list items. Their costs are very reasonable. The owner is a very nice guy and it's a family business that should be supported. I highly recommend Volvo Specialists for any auto repair or body work needed!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Tire rotations, Vehicle Inspection, Brakes, Oil change

Only place I feel comfortable bringing in my Volvo for service

Brad, Laurice and Mo have been taking care of my Volvos (and my wife's Honda) for more years than I can count (certainly over 20 years) starting with my first 240. I rely on them to anticipate issues so I do not get surprised by break-downs. They are experienced, knowledgeable, honest and direct, and good to explain what, how and why of every repair and recommendation,My most recent visit was for tires and suspension. Once again, the "Terrific Three" came through with five-star results. My C30 now has 135,000 miles on the odometer and runs like the date it rolled off the assembly line 13 years ago!Services: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, Wheel alignment, Oil change

These mechanics are the only car mechanics I trust with any of my vehicles these past 12 years I've been gong here. I recently brought in a car we purchased for our daughter and they ensured all was good to go before she drove, giving me peace of mind. Thank you for your excellent customer service throughout the years Brad, Larisa and Moses.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Vehicle safety inspection, Auto maintenance, Oil change

Very dependable, trustworthy, honest, reasonable, and competent. I rely on Volvo Specialists for all my vehicles (Volvo and non-Volvo) and highly recommend their services. I have never been disappointed- they always. give an honest assessment and they are the reason I have confidence keeping my fifteen year old vehicle on the road.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Most people who own a vehicle have (or will soon have) a mechanic to service their vehicle. Some will have a good relationship with their mechanic. A few lucky folks have become customers of Volvo Specialists / BK Automotive. Talk to any of us and you will soon realize that we consider Brad, Larissa and Moses part of our family - I've been a customer since 2007, with Volvo Specialists servicing 9 vehicles during that time - for me, my wife and 3 kids.Of course the shop is trustworthy, professional and gives great value. Add to those qualities straight talk, friendly service and genuinely interesting people who are fun to talk with, and you'll soon see why we love this place. Check it out!

I bought a used 2018 Volvo S60 from Volvo Cars Silver Spring, and Blair was my salesman. No hard sell, just courteous and informative discussions. The whole experience couldn't have gone smoother. I haven't used their repair service yet, but based on other recent reviews, it appears their service quality is also very good.

I am another long time customer who owns multiple Volvos, some of which I bought from this shop. They always do great work and give me helpful advice on how to keep repair costs down. In my latest misadventure I found myself trying to jump start a 2010 S70 Volvo from a 2007 S60 Volvo. In both cars, the battery configuration was unusual. I phoned the shop, and Larissa was able to describe to me exactly what I was looking at just off the top of her head. She must have every Volvo engine layout memorized. I got the dead car started, drove over to the shop, and they immediately swapped in a new battery for me while I waited. That was a 5 star experience.Service: Electrical

Recently had my care into the shop and as always I received and excellent job and customer service. Volvo Specialist are very thorough with my cars inspection and repairs. They have been the most trustworthy group that I have met in the area since arriving here 4 years ago. I have learned through some expense and bad experiences that Volvo Specialist is the place to take my car, I highly recommend their services to everyone. Awesome people.Service: General repairs & maintenance

This was our first experience with Volvo Specialists, although we had heard good recommendations (including one from an unrelated professional Volvo mechanic). We are very pleased with their work. It gives us confidence to take our old (1997) 850 wagon out on the big roads again, where it drives like a playful puppy.

Volvo Specialists Inc have been working on my cars for a few months now. Initially I found them because I wanted to put a performance exhaust on my xc60 that I purchased online and they were the only shop I could find that would do it. After they impressed me with a quick turnaround and fair pricing, I have continued to go to them for all of my volvo needs. They are very knowledgeable and understand volvos inside and out. They will be the only shop to work on my volvos moving forward. If you want all around good service on your car, bring it here and you will not be disappointed!Services: Exhaust, General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

Bring your Volvo to them, trust me. Specially if you have an older model (240, 740, 850, you name it); for anything pre-V70, you won't find better mechanics for these older cars.

Volvo Specialists were recommended to us by a friend who described them as "the best mechanics he has known". We took our beloved 2004 Suburban that had a number of issues and feel it was thoroughly evaluated and carefully repaired. We live in DC but found that drop off and pick-up was made simple for us. Found everyone I spoke with pleasant and helpful. Will absolutely go back!

I have been taking my cars to Volvo Specialists for 27 years. It stated with my 1989 Volvo and then snowballed to a 1982 Honda Civic, 2004 Honda Accord, 1972 Mercedes 280 SL, and a 1997 Lexus ES300. All of these cars are still running due to excellent service. I can always depend on them to diagnose and fix difficult problems.Services: Transmission, Exhaust, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil changeServices: Transmission, Exhaust, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil change

Well, I am definitely in the Volvo Specialist Fan Club!!!, having been going to them since 2012. I actually look forward to visiting with them. I think the first time I showed-up, having driven my 2000 V40 down from Labrador (and a thousand miles of dirt roads) they found more dirt under the hood then had been seen in a decade of mostly urban passenger cars combined, they won my appreciation and respect with their "we can handle it" approach. And so nice to deal with human beings (and their great shop dog!) than with faceless mechanics working back of customer-relations front men.

Staff instills confidence. Repairs and service done well and on time. Will not go anywhere else. And let me add they don't just work on Volvos. We have a 1992 Plymouth that they keep in excellent working order. We couldn't be happier with the staff and service.Services: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Oil changeServices: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Oil change

I have been going to Volvo Specialists for about 9 years. They never disappoint, are always very reasonable and have never tried to sell me things I don t need. They work on all makes, not just Volvo s, like my Ram truck, 87 BMW, my Audi and, of course, my Volvo V70R. I m very glad I found them!
