I had the best experience today at JK Volvo. I usually take my V70 to Rusnak where I purchased it however, I always feel they try to convince me to do more work than is necessary and the prices are outrageous. Today 2 light bulbs were burned out. I called around to avoid going to Rusnak and 2 other repair shops were not interested and charged even higher prices than the dealer. I luckily found JK Volvo where I met Mike and Danny both were super terrific. They fixed my car quickly and without pressure of any other sales. I'm super happy and will now make JK Volvo my only repair shop to take my car! Great job read more

I am in the market for a new (used) car. I was looking at a 2001 Volvo V70 that was on sale down the street at Crown City Motors. I asked the sales guy there if I could take it to a mechanic. The night before I Google'd Volvo mechanics in the area and JK came up with a couple of good reviews (on a different website), so I thought this would be a good place to take a Volvo to get checked out before I bought it. So I took the 2001 V70 to Mike at JK and he was very honest with me and gave me great advice on the car. He even took a quick look under the hood, told me what was wrong, and didn't even charge me anything for it. They usually charge $60 for a diagnostic. I answered all my questions honestly and was very patient with me. If I end up buying a Volvo, I will definitely take it to JK Volvo Specialists to have it serviced. Thanks Mike! read more

Mike, Danny and crew are the best. period. not just as volvo specialist, but mechanic in general, honest bussiness practice and talking about customer service excellent! i'm lucky to be neighbor with Mike as well, he's a good friend as well! read more

Fantastic experience, service, and quality using JK for my Volvos for years. In my 30 years of driving, no shop comes close to the perfection and honesty of JK. The entire crew is great. Good old fashioned personal service. Just go here. No shopping around needed. read more

Mike and his crew are amazing. I've been helping him with his various IT needs over the years and in that sense alone, he's always been a pleasure to work with. He tells you what he wants, we do it, he pays us, and everybody is happy. He just shoots from the hip and doesn't waste time. I love that! Now here's where it gets good. I have a Lexus that was making some squeaky noises and it was driving me crazy. In a car that you're still making payments on, being seen and not heard is kind of essential - at least to me. I hate it when my car makes noises - especially because Lexus cars are typically so quiet! Being the pessimist that I am, I start thinking that it's some bearing deep within the bowels of the motor and it's going to cost a small fortune to resolve. My mind was running wild, I tell you! To make a long story even longer, he comes out and says, "dude, we'll just switch the belts." I'm thinking go for it, even though the noise sounded nothing like any belt squeak I'd ever heard in my 32 years. Sure enough, that's all it was. He gave me a ride to work and picked me up, too. It's bitchin' I love it. I had no idea he worked on Lexus cars but I'm sure glad he does. Thanks, Mike and Johnny! read more

I am updating my review of Jk Volvo on Yelp, because I can't say enough good things about these guys. I have now been here two times and the service is simply outstanding. It is really good feeling when you know your mechanic is on your side and not trying to rip you off. Mike and the team know what their doing and do it well. If you have a Volvo or Mini Cooper I recommend you try these guys and see for your self the level of service they provide. They call when they say they will call and your car is ready when they say it will be. I have compared prices with other mechanic's and JK Volvo beats them is service & pricing. I love these guys! read more

I can't say enough positive things about this company, Rudy and Mike. First off they assisted me in finding my dream car at a great price and shipped it across the country. Second, at Friday at 5pm I had a flat tire. Not only did they order two new tires for me but they also stayed late and changed my two back tires! I adore them and am so grateful for their honest work!! read more

Mike at JK Volvo has kept our 2002 V70 wagon up and running for 198,000 miles. He has been honest about what really needed to be done and what could wait. I appreciated that. Mike looks after his customers and his employees. Bottom Line: If you want honest, good service on your Volvo, head to JK Volvo - you'll come away satisfied. I certainly have. read more

Mike and Danny at JK Volvo run the best auto shop I've ever worked with. There is NOWHERE else you should take your Volvo. I do a lot of my own work on my car, but when I have aftermarket warranty work or I'm in over my head, I call them right away. Mike is a true mechanic's mechanic. He knows his Volvos! I always advise my friends, if a mechanic cannot explain clearly what is wrong and how they will try to fix it, then ask more questions or walk away. These guys give clear explanations and aren't afraid to walk you through the problem. Everyone should be so lucky to have this team on their side! I wish I could give 6 stars! read more

The guys here are super friendly and they do quality work. Always willing to fit me in if my Volvo ever has an issue. They always give sound advice as far as a course of action is concerned. I would highly recommend this shop if you own a Volvo and need quality repairs done. read more

I was experiencing problems with my car and went from dealership to dealership. As my frustration grew, I decided to yelp a Volvo specialist. Well, J K Volvo came up. When I called I was told to come on in. I can't explain how comfortable I felt knowing they were helping me and not giving me the runaround. For six months no one could give me a straight answer about my coolant leak, but the guys at J K figured it out in 5 minutes, and showed me exactly where it was. Ron, Mike and Rudy were extremely helpful and kind. I highly recommend them to family, friends and YOU! read more

Can't say enough about JK Volvo. I lived in Pasadena over the summer of 2016 - a broke graduate student. I found them because I had an issue with a light bulb (those things are SO hard to change yourself!!) and I needed help getting it in. Mike was so friendly and helpful that I went back for an oil change and asked them to make sure I'd be okay for a long road trip to Phoenix. I never worried that I was being scammed or charged too much. According to my "home" mechanic in Portland where I'm from, the rates charged were legitimate and things were done right. It's a nice feeling knowing that when I'm in Pasadena again - I have a place to take my car. Mike and his team embody good customer service and trust built the old fashioned way. Thank you!! read more

Don't forget to take your Mini in for service here as well! Great service, always thorough, fast and honest. I've been taking my Mini Cooper and my Volvo here for decades and have never been anything but pleased with their work. They are the best. read more

Mike did a good job working on my volvo and at a pretty good price. would recommend.

Amazing Volvo Specialists! They are considerate, kind and best of all, know what they are doing. I highly recommended them to anyone who is looking for a reliable auto shop. read more

I needed to get my car serviced and Mike and Rudy were very helpful! They were kind enough to discuss with me what needed to be done to my car (I'm not too familiar with automotive terms, issues, areas of concern, etc) and they really broke it down for me. My car came out of the shop working good as new! Thank you, Mike and Rudy! read more

It's always a relief when you've found a mechanic you can trust with your car. After a short conversation with Mike ( I think the owner), I felt like my search was over. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and polite but also explained things in simple terms. Look no further. read more

I came all the way from Ventura to purchase my Volvo C30 from JK, and it was absolutely worth it. Mike was fair, fun, and really considerate. He stepped away from everything he was doing and made sure the purchase went through as fast as possible. I absolutely will point my Volvo-loving friends his way. read more

My daughter was driving her moms Volvo coming home from Big Bear when the indicator light came on that said the fluid was low, turn off engine. I called Mike and he said to bring it in. They had the vehicle taken care of within an hour. Excellent customer service. If I lived there, they would have our business all of the time. I highly recommend them. Very professional. read more

Great service - very responsible, honest and fair prices. Just took my 2008 Volvo there after first getting a 1200$ estimate from local Volvo dealership service dept. Car was having trouble starting and had not been serviced in two years or so. JK was able to do service and fix "starting" problem for less than 400$ - so that is less than one-third of dealer estimate - in one day! Car is running great. Starts quickly and drives like new. On personal side, they were a pleasure to deal with - respectful/ actually listened/ discussed options with me/ took my concerns into account. This is especially important as being female, mechanics often don;t bother to listen or take what I say seriously, thinking I do not know about cars or mechanics. Not so here where we had a few conversations about most cost effective repairs which ended up saving me over 800$! read more

I can not say enough good things about JK Volvo. Mike and Rudy have been taking care of both my 2000 S80 and 2005 VXC90 for almost 5 years now. They are extremely knowledgeable and friendly.There are 2 local Volvo shops where I live BUT I rather drive the extra 20min to have my cars serviced by someone I can trust! They are dealer quality mechanics at more reasonable prices. read more

Being new to the area, I was looking for a place to take my Honda CRV and a friend highly recommended JK Volvo Specialists. I've been there several times now and have been thrilled with the service. I'd highly recommend the shop for ALL your car needs (whether it's a Volvo or not!) read more

Just went to have a timing belt changed at JK. Very professional and timely.

The ONLY people I let work on my car! The ONLY place I trust ... period ... they were recommended to me by Don Nicholson, the owner of Elevate (the Volvo tuning super company) ... they quickly became "friends", not just a Volvo repair shop ... I'm super neurotic about my car and they are more than accommodating to my needs ... I'd be lost without them ... and am forever indebted ... A very special "thanks" to Mike, Rudy, and the rest of the JK Volvo family. read more

I have not found a more reliable shop or a more helpful crew than Mike, Daniel and the rest of the team. Not only did they do wonderful work on my XC 90 but repaired other problems at no charge. As long as this shop stays in business, I will continue to buy Volvos Thanks guys. read more

We began taking our 2001 Volvo wagon to JK Volvo on the recommendation of a friend who'd been a customer for decades. Now a longtime customer myself, I can't say enough good things about Mike and the whole team. They are excellent at their jobs and totally honest about what does and does not need to be fixed and what to anticipate as your car gets older. When I was preparing to take the car on a cross-country trip, Mike went out of his way to make the it not only safe but also as comfortable as it could possibly be. He even threw in a few extras for free, like replacing the cover on the gearshift and fixing the sunroof even after I said I didn't need it! If you want your Volvo to still be running at 200,000 miles JK is the place to take it so you can take good care of it. read more

I've been taking my '05 S60 to JK for a couple years now & I won't let anybody else care for my car. The owner Mike sincerely cares for his customers, is extremely welcoming, goes the extra mile to help out his customers, and he knows what he's talking about when it comes to these vehicles. I also can't stress enough how knowledgeable and thorough the technicians Rudy and Albert are. Both of these guys do a great job and have no problem explaining exactly what they did to fix your car, and if you aren't familiar with auto lingo, they make it real easy to understand. To top it off, the service advisor Danny is very friendly and welcoming and does a really good job of explaining what it is you need and what you're paying for. By far the best place to bring your Volvo to be taken care of. read more

I just want to really say that these guys are amazing! My c30 brokedown with TPMS needing servicing supposedly. Supposedly becuase that was not the issue which the dealership told me and would cost me $1500 at the very least. The owner Mike was kind enough to check on my car and it was already past 6pm which they are closed. He ran several tests and he did his magic which he restarted the computer of the car and all the warning are gone! He uses the same diagnostic tool as the volvo dealership. Mike is someone I could trust and I would recommend him and his team to everyone! I am telling my boss and my dad who also drive volvos to go to him! read more

Mike and his team at JK Volvo are just the best! I am a 44 year old WOMAN, married, with 3 kids. I have a busy schedule! And Mike always accommodates my schedule into their workload. They talk to me about my car repair or service--they don't call my husband--this is my car! They are so respectful to me as a woman, and are so nice to my kids. I like the reliable service and fantastic customer service I receive from them. Many times Mike will let me know that the next time I come in to be prepared for a particular service. I love the heads up! This way I can be financially prepared and I will know how much time my car will be in the shop. I have been coming to their shop for over 10 years now. I feel like they are part of my family and I adore them all. Mike and the crew at JK Volvo provide honest service and are truly the BEST mechanics in town! read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Mike and his team at JK Volvo. They have been able to solve every mystery problem my S40 has encountered and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch mechanic. read more

Volvo's heaven, period. Here is the story: I need to program my 98 S70's remote keyless entry which requires a Volvo Scan Tool, I called and visited many, many shops capable of working on Volvo, most of them don't have the VST tool, and whoever has the tool don't have the knowledge of doing it. I called J K, told them about what i want, he knows EXACTLY what I need to get this task performed, its very hard to see mechanic those days have this level of confidence and knowledge because my case is extremely rare, 98 model year is the first year of Volvo's 70 series which shares lots of components from 850 series while different from 99+ (because of Ford's involvement), but everyone at J K knows exactly the distinctiveness of this model year and asked if I had my VGLA code in hand(luckily i do). They even told me on the phone that they can do it FREE OF CHARGE. A month later one Friday morning I came straight to the shop without appointment everybody there knew exactly what I need and helped me with complicated programming in just couple minutes. The gentleman helped me programming (looks like Mark Strong) is such a knowledgeable technician meanwhile maintain a very high moral standard, I hardly seen such people in today's world, especially in the automobile industry. Hope more customers (especially whoever is reading this review now) could realize how hard it is today to find such person and hope everybody could give him more business so that J K's honest straight up shop could carry on forever! read more

So these guys work on Mini coopers too! I received a recommendation from a friend after my clutch went out at a shockingly early 37000 miles and certainly did not want to pay dealer labor. These guys did the job for a great price, within the time promised and were very communicative throughout the process. They went above and beyond in order to accommodate my schedule and I am very satisfied with the work preformed. read more

Just had my 2004 S60 serviced here at JK Volvo Specialist again. New oil trap and spark plugs. These guys are exceptional diagnosticians. Always find the problem right away. Didn't even have to leave it overnight. Now, the car runs like new again. My wife and I have been loyal customers here for about 5 years now and thus far we are always very happy with the service. Fast, affordable, efficient and friendly! read more

My friends thought I was crazy driving from the South Bay to have Mike and the team do a pre-purchase inspection of a XC90 I was looking to purchase..... Best decision I ever made. I had every intention that day of buying the vehicle, but wanted to see if the price was too good to be true at the dealer. Yep, it was! They found a problem with the transmission, front axle, warranty and battery to name a few. Saved me thousands from a potential bad purchase and more importantly the headache. I would absolutely recommend this shop if your in the LA area with a Volvo! read more

I have always had excellent service from Mike and his mechanics! I have a been a customer for 2 years, and each experience has been good, and even better - with a discount, which, for this struggling student, was a real blessing. Towards the end, my 2001 S40 with 165,000+ miles was really struggling (poor old car) and it seemed as if I was going to see the guys every other week. Each time, they greeted me with a smile and helped me fix the latest problem, sometimes even for free. Mike and Danny and all the mechanics are very knowledgeable, professional, and super nice. Even when the cost feels like it's going to break the bank, it is at least 2x cheaper than the dealership, and Mike is always straight about what needs to be fixed immediately and what can wait. I would really recommend JK Specialists for all your Volvo repairs. read more

JK Volvo has been servicing our two Volvos for 12 years. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and can quickly diagnose problems based on a few symptoms. He has resolved problems for me over the phone on several occasions. JK has been in business for decades, a testament to the quality of its service. I even had JK fix a transmission problem while the car was still under warranty because the local dealership couldn't correct a problem after two attempts. Can't recommend them highly enough read more

this place does know how to repair Volvos. in general Volvos are expensive to repair due to parts and not so common. the issue is that they are extremely aware of the rusnak Volvo prices a few blocks away. this is because there are mechanics who works there and let them know when someone will take the Volvo elsewhere. its some sort of price colluding , that rusnak might not be aware off since its their mechanics. (don't get me wrong, rusnack is worst) but to fix a specific thing, the price was extremely close. so close I was suspicious. I went somewhere else and it was a quarter of what they both said. so they do know how to fix Volvos but not trustworthy on my book. and like lawyers and doctors, its a trust thing. I know little about cars so I go by trust.. read more

I've taken my older Volvo here for service alot and the work is always solid. Danny's courteous and always takes the time to explain fully to me why an odd light or message has appeared and what they'll do to rectify the problem, and Mike is super nice. The techs are excellent - this is THE place to go for Volvo repairs in Pas. read more

Great auto shop with honest caring staff! Mike and Danny are THE BEST! You can come to this shop with the confidence that they can service your Volvo with professionally trained technicians! read more

These guys are the best...first time I had my Volvo serviced at their shop and I was impressed by how much they know about Volvos. They are not like other shops that tell you things need to get fixed even though its perfectly fine just to charge customers more. I know this because I already know what needs to done on my car and when I told them the symptoms,Danny told me the exact same thing that needs to be done. When it's time for me to pick up my car...Mike explained everything that they had done to my car. Knowing a bit about cars and doing some repairs on it on my own..I really appreciate shops who take the time to explain to you what they did. Mike even gave me some tips regarding a repair that I can do on my own. Great guys. I sure would be bringing my car back to them for repairs I can't do myself. read more
