The most honest mechanic in the Southbay. I needed a tailight replaced. Jerry fixed it in 5 minutes and did not charge me. He has worked on my cars for years. He is fair and diagnosises the car perfectly. He is a true Master mechanic. read more

This place is great. I recommend seeing Julio, the owner. I have taken multiple cars in here multiple times for different services & they have always been super helpful & reasonable with pricing. read more

My previous one-star review applies only to the PREVIOUS OWNER! I have never had my car serviced by the current owner. He sounds like an earnest mechanic with experience from previous Volvo shops, so I gave hime the benefit of the doubt: five stars read more

Julio is amazing. He is trustworthy, kind and fast. I've taken my volvo to him multiple times and he gets it fixed quickly. His pricing is very reasonable and I'm so happy I found him. I'm now bringing my prius to him and he maintains it perfectly too. What a gem! read more

For Volvo's they are apparently the "hizzle4shizzle"! However, they should stick to Volvos. After I did not get a call back on my Chrysler that they had fixed 3 times and was still making strange noises. I knew it was time to find a Chrysler mechanic. I did. He fixed it perfectly in one hour at a fraction of the money that I had paid these guys. Oh well, live and learn with mechanics. I heard that they are magicians with. Volvos tho read more

Great mechanic, friendly, honest and fast! Went in with A/C blowing warm air on the driver side and it was fixed within a couple hours and a very reasonable rate. We go here for all our maintenance simply because of the quality of work and friendliness all at a reasonable price. read more

The guy, Jerry Morris seems to be a straight shooter. We just went here for our 1st time in March 2017 to service our aged and aging Volvo. He diagnosed it, and I think it took a few days for service and about $1,500 or so, and we got the car back with his "thumbs up" approval (not sure if that's a guarantee or not) that the car, other than things related to inherent aging, is in perfect working condition and should not give us any operational issues beyond what's normal wear (like batteries, tires and oil). I'll follow up with another review if things change, since I think we're planning on making Jerry our regular mechanic for the car, and hoping he'll take care of us (or rather the car) commensurate to the trust and respect we are affording him to give us honest advice in our best interests. That's all we ask for in a mechanic. We have a great mechanic for our Mercedes Benz, we just needed to find one locally for our Volvo who is a specialist. read more

See all

I am surprised there aren't more reviews for Morris Motors. I come here for service on my XC60 and I seriously hope that people in the Southbay aren't going to the dealership on PCH! I knew about this plaza b/c I used to get alignments at Johnson's. Morris is pretty convenient to where I work and I can easily drop off my car during the week You can also do early drop off and leave your key in their door. Are Volvo's expensive to maintain? Strong yes, but I guess that would also depend on what kind of car you currently have. I pay about $60 for an oil change here which is what I paid at a drive-thru oil change complete with free, dumb questions about oil filters and oil caps. Seriously, like I know how to answer those things? Even better, the tech at the quick oil place could not even reset my oil light. Annoying! That is prob my main issue with driving a Volvo, sometimes mechanics don't know how to service it appropriately. So I save myself the aggravation and come to Morris Motors. I don't even have to send my husband, I really have no problems with taking my car, picking up & paying here. Jerry is a a non-nonsense kind of guy and he'll pretty much give you every thing straight. He'll let you know which services are due, which you can skip and which you should take care of soon. He also recently helped me with a catalytic converter issue and with his info I got dealership to cover the repair even though they were trying to trick me into paying a 2k estimate. Luckily, I haven't had any severe (out of pocket) issues with my vehicle. It is tough to use the words 'trust' and 'mechanic' in the same sentence, esp. as a female, but Jerry and his team are the real deal. This spot and Jalisco Tires in Gardena are the only two auto service places I highly recommend in the area. I always call for an appt in advance, but call and see what their schedule is like. Unless it is a recall or under warranty, skip the Volvo dealership. read more

I was riding home from work and I noticed my car was driving funny and I realized I had a flat tire. My next thought was: I need to get off this four-lane, busy ass road and get to a safe lot so I can call roadside assistance. I turned into the next parking lot and look up. To my surprise I had turned into a lot of auto repair shops. Jerry was outside and I asked him if they happened to have any tires to replace my flat. He was kind enough to assess my vehicle, inflate my tire and get me back on the road, reassuring me that I didn't need a new tire. The next day I returned to replace my brakes and rotors. His team is very efficient, great communicators and fair pricing. I felt very reassured that my 10+ year old vehicle was in good hands. I'm thankful that God allowed me to run into this shop. I plan to come back here from now on and will recommend it to anyone I run into in the area. read more

Very pleased with the work on my granddaughter's 2005 S40 Volvo. Mechanics very knowledgeable on ways to fix this older car.

The best mechanic! I'll never go to anyone else. They were all respectful and very knowledgeable. They offered to repair my a/c clutch rather than jumping straight to replacing the whole thing, and when that didn't work they only charged me for replacing the clutch. The whole experience was fantastic and now I have ice cold a/c again. Thank you thank you!!! read more

Brought in our XC60 for a Check Engine light and a burnt-out tail light. They found that the problem part was under extended warranty and went ahead and replaced the bad bulb. No charge for any of it. Thank you, Jerry. We'll be back! read more

Business has very bad service. The quality of workmanship is terrible. The new business is called JAS motors. Both businesses are bad

Moved to the area recently and I didn't know who to take my Volvo to for transmission work. Jerry and his staff are extremely friendly, gave me a "no surprise" estimate on the spot that was super competitive, and got me on the road on time!! Extremely honest and friendly people! Highly recommend!! read more

Morris did the brakes on my 2017 XC90 a while back. Good price. Done on time. No problems. Great shop!

This place has a new owner - a Brazilian master mechanic - Julio. He did a fantastic job on my Volvo XC60 transmission. Very honest and very determined to do the repair properly. After he rebuilt and repaired the solenoid valves on my transmission the car runs like new. I've been testing it for a month now and it's running great. Julio followed up on my testing. Great guy - I'll take my Volvo back to him if it needs to be repaired. read more

I have known Jerry for 30 plus years he has serviced every vehicle that we have owned and keep them all running in supreme shape. I can drive my car to New York and back with no problem. Now it's time for my next generation to have their vehicle's serviced by the best. read more

I highly recommend entrusting your car to Jerry. Been taking my 1989 760 Wagon there for over 10 years and he has taken really good care of it. I don't think you will find any other shop that can beat his rates and he is a trustworthy guy. He goes out of his way to get you the best price he can and is always done with the work sooner than expected. Thank you Jerry! read more

Jerry is fantastic. Clear explanations, always looking for economical solutions. Most trusted mechanic I have ever worked with.

The worst. This business destroyed my engine. I'm having to replace my engine after Jerry did a partial rebuild 10 months ago. I reported him to the BAR. He lied about the timing belt snapping a second time because he didn't want to honor a 12 month guarantee. He said the alternator pulley broke. I know because I went straight to the Volvo Dealer from Morris motor and paid to find out why my car stopped in the middle of the street after Jerry fixed it. They said the timing belt was torn. The new timing belt Jerry just put in my car 10 months ago!!! Plus he wanted me to GIVE him the title of my car when I said okay I'll just donate my car to Charity! Imagine that! Give it to him so he can fix it up and sell it no doubt! He's a crook and I think he is having his inexperienced son work on the cars. Besides that, Jerry isn't even a mechanic but give you the impression he is. Serious! Don't go there especially if you are a woman. My car is a classic beauty 2008 convertible 2008 c 70 Volvo. Give him the title of my car, NO. read more

Highly recommend! While visiting my parents, my Volvo XC90 started overheating. I called a couple places that I found on Yelp. Jerry returned my call promptly. We discussed the issue my car was having and he squeezed me into his schedule. I needed to get back home (very long drive) by a certain date. He went ahead and ordered the necessary parts ahead of time. It turned out my car had additional issues which required parts. Jerry was willing to work late and on Saturday to finish the repairs so I could make it back home as scheduled. He went the extra mile which I appreciated very much!!! My XC90 runs great! read more

Jerry Morris is a hard working and very honest mechanic. I have nothing but praise for him. I have been taking my Volvos to him for about 10 years, and all my interactions have been nothing but positive. If you have a Volvo, you should be taking it to him. read more

I brought 2 Volvos to the owner Jerry at Morris Motors for a pre-purchase inspection with little notice (maybe 2 hours). When I called Jerry he said there were no technicians (because I misunderstood when he asked me to call an hour in advance), but gladly volunteered to perform the inspections HIMSELF! Not only did this place go above and beyond my wildest expectations, but Jerry actually was able to get technicians after all specifically to look over the cars for me. He actually took the time to call for assistance and it was so unexpected. They took me into the garage and physically showed me where mechanical issues existed and kept it completely honest and straightforward. I would honestly say that having never taken a car to this garage before this inspection, I will, without hesitation, do so again. I didn't end up purchasing the cars because of the accurate feedback of this place. And to top it off he gave me a SUPER great deal to inspect both cars!! I can't write a glowing enough review. ROCKIN garage. Thanks Jerry, Ruben, and José!! You guys are great. When I do get my Volvo I know where to go. P.S. It helps to know what professional mechanics are talking about when you are having a car inspected. For instance, if you don't know what a control arm bushing is, then you'll have a hard time understanding why that's important. Due diligence people! read more

This review is about two years long overdue. Wear can I even begin to tell you how amazing, honest, and reasonably priced Jerry has always been. This man has always and I mean always gone above and beyond the call of duty to help and fix my little old Volvo XC90. He's always gets me the best prices, is efficient and truly a god sent when it comes to mechanics. I've been taking my car to him for about 3 years now and each and every single time he helps out the best way he can. Oh and yeah we all love the little dog of his. read more

I ran out of gas on Hawthorne Blvd, and was lucky enough to pull into the parking lot of this business as my car was giving out. I went to the car repair place across from this business first and even though I could visibly see the gas can in the area where they work on their cars, they refused to help me. Then I went over Morris Motors and boy was I glad that I did. Not only did they gave me the gas, they made sure that my car was pulled into a safe spot. The owner is super sweet! read more

This car repair is one of the best and most honest that I ever used. I highly recommend these services and will continue to bring all of my automobiles to Morris Auto thank you!! read more

My husband took our Volvo xc90 there to get it serviced. The men here demonstrated great work professionalism and they did a great job as well. We'll definitely be returning to this shop for all our Volvo maintenance. read more

Took my 2010 Volvo S40 in for an oil change a week or so ago. The guys here are great. Very friendly and he didn't charge me to install front bulb. Wow! Glad I found this place. 5 stars all the way! Thank you. read more

I was originally referred here by an ex-girlfriend, and I've been taking my Volvos here for the better part of a decade. The fact that I know Jerry is a huge reason I keep buying Volvos. His prices are more than fair, and I've never had anything but fantastic work done by him and his staff. Plus, he's an animal lover, which is maybe not directly relevant to auto repair, but it's kind of a big deal to me. read more

Jerry shop gets the job done at a fair price. His repair center is very competitive - compared to the local dealer's service centers. Bring your dog in ! Jerry has a soft side for dogs. read more

I called Morris on Fri to schedule some maintenance and Jerry took the time to answer questions and fit me in the very next day. He was very nice, completed the maintenance on time, and the actual bill came in under the estimate-when does that ever happen!! He also took the time to show me some possible future issues that didn't need to be repaired now-no pressure at all from him.... but he took the time and showed them to me on the car and explain. Jerry was very nice and to the point. It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust but I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

A friend referred me to Morris Motors when I moved here and I am so glad she did! Everyone there has been helpful but Jerry is great! So nice, informative and personable. My car runs great when I leave there and he remembers me when I come back... even if it has been a long time! Thanks Jerry! read more

Based on word of mouth recommendations, I started taking my 740 here since I first got the car and I wouldn't take it anywhere else (except for my own driveway when I'm really broke and can easily do the repairs myself). Their work is great and the prices are fair. They always seem do some kind of extra adjustments that I don't get charged for. It's the first time during my 20+ years of car-owning that I've had a mechanic that I trust completely, which is worth a lot. read more

Jerry and Alfredo were able to find a problem that another mechanic couldn't. Very glad I stumbled into these guys. Highly recommend if you live or work in this area. read more

Got here early for an oil change for my Volvo he was glad to accept my request with no appt. Friendly person (jerry) & staff.

I don't own a Volvo but a Porsche Turbo S, I had a problem with the air in my front right tire loosing air faster than a plane coming out of the sky. I couldn't find a gas station and worse...I couldn't reach AAA, I kept going until I found the automotive strip, in less than 1 mile I went from 38 lbs to 7 soon to be on the rim.. I pulled in and they accommodated me with a mobile air condenser, found out it was a loose stem! They gave me air and off I went!! Lots of Thank You's but not enough, I went back with a wee little gift to show my appreciation. But hear this they Thanked me, lets put this in perspective...they had really helped me, something we JUST don't find anymore. If I owned a Volvo I'd only use them. They weren't only nice, helpful but on the spot and I was on my way! Thank you we need more of this kind of service. read more

Jerry Morris is a real jem. He's honest and let's you know what is important to fix and what is not. I trust my Volvo v40 to no one else.

Brought my Volvo S40 here. Jerry found a major problem in the engine and told me my rear brakes were worn out. When he found out I was having money troubles, he gave me a very good price. I still couldn't afford the work, but I did get a second opinion later. His diagnosis and price both checked out. He is honest. read more
