I called the shop first thing in morning and spoke with Andy, wanted to make sure they have the battery for a hybrid car and they did. Told Andy that the car needed to be jumped already and he said I can come right in. When I arrived my car was taken right in and within half an hour it was all done. Andy was very professional and knowledgeable, will definitely come back!

2001 S-40 Volvo Old + new front shock bumpers. Before I met Andy Harrison I had spent $$ with other experienced Volvo mechanics trying to fix this problem. Old bumpers had rotted after 15 years and produced a loud banging noise, actually bone jarring sensation when going over any size road bump. Several Volvo experts always avoided the issue while wanting to do other easy but expensive repairs on this old car. Right away Andy said it was the bumpers and that it was an expensive repair (labor) and not to fix it unless I really wanted to keep the car it was OK to drive it as is. . He fixed it and I was amazed.Andy is honest as the day is long, up front with any possible issues, very fair priced, knows Volvos better than the all the rest. He will tell you when expensive repairs can wait and not just flip parts for a quick buck. He is my goto Volvo guy and I have had him fix several other major and minor issues with my car. I live in Raleigh and he is well worth the drive to get great service. Five Stars.

I must say, they are as honest as they come. I have been using this shop for more than 10 years. I never felt like they were trying to sell me on things I did not need. Their work is neat and clean, they take pride in their work. I will send my grandmother to these guys without thinking about it.Service: Auto brake repairService: Auto brake repair

The knowledge and professionalism is top notch. Exceptional service and price. Andy is truly a Volvo whisperer. Andy and Mitch s knowledge and detailed care is the reason we can afford to maintain three Volvo s. It is well worth the long drive for us to come to Louisburg even for the most minor service. If you live in the Raleigh area (much closer than us) you are missing out if you don t make the short trip to Louisburg to have the best mechanics anywhere around maintain your vehicles. In fact, Andy s move to Louisburg is lucky for a broader group of brand owners. In Raleigh, Andy focused more on Volvo s; in Louisburg, he services a broader array of vehicles with the same level of detail and care previously enjoyed by his Volvo clientele. His move to Louisburg, also, lowered his overhead. He has passed on those cost savings to his customers. It really is hard to overstate how lucky you are to have Harrison s Automotive as your mechanics. 5 +++ stars is an understatement.Services: Auto battery replacement, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic

We have trusted and valued Harrisons with a number of Volvos over the years. We refer to Andy as the Volvo Whisperer . Andy and his crew have breathed new life into old cars and evaluated ones we were thinking about buying. He has never let us down, has tremendous expertise, and awesome ethics. We (I am speaking for my family, also) give our highest recommendation to Andy and his crew. Once, I presented a car for service and described an unfamiliar noise it was making. Andy verbalized the noice and knew exactly what the problem was and how to fix it. Andy is honest and charges fair prices and has our highest regards.Services: Auto battery replacement, Auto water leak repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Auto brake repair, Vehicle Inspection, Transmission replacement, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Auto emissions testing, Air conditioning, Vehicle safety inspection, Auto maintenance

My first time there. They were reliable, efficient, and nice to work with. Once under the hood they did a complete and welcome job of putting me back on the road safely. Quality and cost of their work is competitive and likely better overall than the other best in Raleigh. My Volvo S60 has 130K miles on it and has found a new caretaker.

I took my c70 to Harrison Automotive today. Andy and his team did a great job! It is a little bit more expensive than other shops, but this is the place to choose if you want to take care of your Volvo. Andy and his guys are real Volvo experts and they know Volvos very well! I would rather drive 1h to go this place than go to other shops that are only 10 minutes away. Now I know where to go when my Volvo is down. Great service, made me feel like home.

Harrison automotive really knows what they are doing with Volvo's. The owner gave me a really great price on a rack replacement, not just for the area but for all over and quality expert work. You may have to look past the round about location, a very quick pull off the highway, or the shabby grounds, ( he's got old Volvo's stacked up and waiting for a new life, but well worth it if you have an old Volvo. Very honest. Very trustworthy. I be taking back the old 240 there for all my major work.

Harrison's was wonderful. I took my 2006 XC90 to Weaver's first, they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it- even after replicating the complaint. Harrison's fit me in (I was visiting family in Raleigh and needed to repair it before a long road trip home) and were courteous, knowledgeable and professional. They found from experience after a test drive that it was the spark plugs, when Weaver's told me to keep driving it for 3-5 more days so that the computer could tell them what was wrong. Reasonable prices, great service- wish we had Harrison's in Connecticut!

Recently my mechanic of seven years retired and, ladies, you know that is like losing your hairdresser! Begrudgingly, I trudged on to find a new mechanic. Asked around, read reviews. I have found a great one in downtown Raleigh. Harrison Automotive! I met Andy the owner when I dropped off my car. He was very professional, informative and open to any questions and concerns I had. I was getting an oil change and a 150,000 mile check on my 2001 Toyota Camry. Brian the mechanic called me after he looked at the car to discuss what they found, prices of maintenance items etc. Brian also was very patient, not pushy and informative when answering my questions. They took the car on time, they called when they said they would and they finished when they said they would. They were not pushy in trying to do extra repairs/maintenance. Overall it was a great experience and I think I have found my new mechanic!

We had a Volvo for nearly 10 years and trusted no one more than Andy and his team to take care of us. Even now that we've retired our Volvo, the honesty, integrity and quality of work delivered by the folks at Harrison Automotive have kept us loyal. Many thanks to the whole Harrison crew.

A million years ago I was fed up with bad mechanics. I finally asked the Snap On guy where to go (bcs he knew all of them) and without hesitation he told me I had to go to Harrison's that was on Craftsman Dr in Raleigh. Smart man! Andy, the owner, walks on water. HONEST as the day is long!! AND HE AND HIS STAFF KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!! Andy just moved to Louisburg and I, like many others, know that he is irreplaceable so we are following him! Two things to know - the drive takes just as long to Louisburg as it does through Raleigh so don't let that dissuade you, you Raleigh folks. Two: his prices went WAY down bcs his costs are less on rent. He told me they were $30 or $40 less per hour. SO - if you want your car to be worked on by the best person on the planet and you want to pay a bunch less - GO TO ANDY!!!! He has a devoted following which should tell you something! Here is what I can promise you, if you are looking for a new mechanic, give them a shot. I will promise you will never go anywhere else. I mean it! That's why all of us Raleigh folks have followed him to Louisburg!Services: Exhaust, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning

Andy is the best Volvo Mechanic ever. He has seen it all and heard it all at least twice and is as nice and honest as they come. He looked after me and my V40 and C70 for years until we moved away and I know I won't find another one as good as he is.

We have our Honda van and our antique Volvo serviced at Harrison's and have LOVED the care they take with our vehicles. They are so easy to work with and really go the extra mile to make sure that the job is done right and that our cars are safe and trustworthy.

Great first experience.Booked an appointment for an alignment before I put new tires on my car.. they could have taken my cash and sent me on my way but rescheduled until the new rubber was on to ensure the job was done right.Bravo!

Andy is THE most trustworthy mechanic I've ever had. He cares about his clients and never suggests work that's unnecessary. He will tell me what's coming up, if tires are looking wonky etc. but has never pushed me to spend money I didn't have. If I had my way, every mechanic and every shop owner would be like him!

I've been taking my 2007 Volvo here since I moved to Raleigh a little over a year and a half ago. Harrison Automotive has always done excellent work at reasonable prices, scheduling is easy and the people are friendly. What more could anyone ask for?

These guys were professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. They promised to care for my car as if it belonged to their dear Grandmother.They were fast and thorough. The car was done right the first time and well below what a normal fix should cost. They are true christians in that their actions show Christ in their lives. I would not hesitate to send anyone there for service.I will be sure to call them anytime i need work on an exhaust system, or anything involving a foreign car! And would be happy if they use me as a reference should they need additional references for a skeptical customer!!!! God bless these guys!!!Brian BlankBenson, NC

Got a quote that was very high for some work from another shop. Because Harrison specializes in Volvos, they were able to determine that my issue was actually a much simpler, cheaper one. Saved me money, done fast and with excellent service.

Great service and customer oriented. I was on vacation in the area and Harrison's fixed my problem quickly and at a very reasonable price. If I ever find myself in the area and in need of a mechanic, I will not go anywhere else. 5 Stars in my book.

It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust, especially when you are new in town. Harrison Automotive is definitely one you can trust! I refer them to all of my friends who are looking for a local tech.
