This Walter guy is awesome to work with and the best mechanic shop owner that I've ever dealt with. He knows his Volvos and gives fair prices. I highly recommend him and his mechanics for all your Volvo needs. read more

Have been going to Swedish Volvo Auto Care for about 5 years. Walter and his staff are accommodating , knowledgeable and professional. They often answer diagnostic questions over the phone making suggestions but never have I felt pressured. Service is timely. Highly recommend. read more

Swedish Volvo Care is the best! I have been taking my wife's car XC90 to Walter and his crew for years and have never had a problem. We recently had an issue with the car's transmission. We called Swedish Volvo Care, and they got us in the next day. In less than 24 hours my wife had her car back, and it works great! Walter always gives us fantastic service, and his prices are awesome. If you are looking for an honest Volvo repair shop with excellent service and prices, go to Swedish Volvo Care. They are the best! read more

Huge Al gauge barrier breached out March 27 and they don't follow up at all and don't want to deal with any third party or insurance because they never called to get paid or to help get me a spare key. read more

It was great finding Swedish Volvo Care, especially since Scandia (walking distance) closed. Walter and his team went above and beyond with great service. Unfortunately, the cost of replacing our transmission is more than the car's worth. But with 3 other volvos in the family, it's good having reliable care without the outrageous dealership fees. read more

It's been easy to get appointment and they are very good about giving the correct estimate about time and money. I have always gone for regular service and the rates seem a bit expensive but I haven't done any comparative analysis. They do the job well. Only the last time they changed the indoor air filter, I have been smelling grease smell in the car. Thot it will go away with time but still hasn't after months. Other than that, they have always delivered good quality service read more

What a terrific shop. Found them via Yelp and thought I'd try it, I'm glad I did. They are real experts and got me in the next day. Prices are very competitive and they communicated at every step of the repair. Great service. Will go back! read more

One word: integrity. Walter believes in doing right by his community and works hard to continually earn and keep our trust. I'm not even a current customer anymore (moved out of the city), but he STILL spent 30 minutes on the phone with me when I asked to run something by him. He always does the right thing! read more

The best service for your Volvo is guaranteed by these technicians. It's my go to for all my Volvo needs.

My Volvo XC70 T6 died in traffic just a block from Swedish Volvo Care. Before I could even call AAA, Walter said he'd come right away. By chance, Jesus (another mechanic) was nearby, immediately diagnosed the issue (a melted ignition coil), and even helped push my car out of traffic. Minutes later Walter arrived, got my car running, and I drove it straight to their shop. This was after 5pm, yet Walter and his mechanic stayed late, did the repair plus a major software update, and had me back on the road the same evening. I have trusted Swedish Volvo Care for years, but this time they went way above and beyond--fast, professional, and incredibly dedicated. read more

Terrifying Experience - Stay Away from This Shop if You Value Your Life! Our car's engine warning light started flashing, but the vehicle seemed to run fine and we didn't notice any problems. To ensure everything was in good shape before a long Christmas road trip, we took the car to this shop for repairs. It's important to note that just one month before, we spent over $2,000 on maintenance at this shop. This time, they charged us another $900 to "fix" the problem. However, disaster struck immediately after we picked up the car. Just after getting onto the 680 freeway, the car completely broke down in the middle of the highway. To make matters worse, even the emergency lights failed. Our entire family, including two young children, was stranded in an extremely dangerous situation with cars speeding past us. It was absolutely terrifying, and we feared for our lives. After this horrifying ordeal, we called the shop, but instead of taking responsibility or offering an apology, they tried to deflect blame. The shop owner's response to this review is full of inaccuracies and outright false claims. For example: They claimed that we mentioned the car had stalled twice before bringing it in--this never happened. The car never stalled before the repairs. And if there were still safety concerns, we would never have gone on a long road trip with our whole family. They stated that we replaced both batteries at another shop--this is also untrue. We have trusted this shop for all our repairs and maintenance over the last three years. They claimed we declined to check the charging system--this was never clearly explained as a critical safety concern, nor were we warned that unresolved issues might cause the car to break down completely. In reality, we later took the car to the dealer for a full inspection, and the charging system has no problems. Instead, they charged us $900 for what they claimed was a fix, only for the car to fail catastrophically only after one hour we picked up the car--putting my family in grave danger. This was not just poor service; it was outright negligence. To anyone considering this shop: think twice. They prioritize making money over ensuring the safety of their customers. If you value your life and the lives of your loved ones, stay far away from this place. We deeply regret trusting them with our vehicle and will never return. read more

Very professional and honest work , Walter explained everything very clearly and was very helpful .

Excellent experience. Richard at the front desk was very helpful, did a quick analysis of my XC60 and suggested the most cost effective way. The car was back in good shape in a couple of hours !! Definitely my go to place from now onwards read more

Haven't gotten my car serviced here *yet* - but called Walter about questions with my car and possible water damage from a car wash and he was patient and kind. He took the time to explain his thoughts and what he thought would be the best way to go about it. Can tell he is an honest mechanic! read more

Very nice owner - the entire shop is very helpful and they do things right and with the customer in mind.

Go somewhere else. A dealership may be more but the dealership will get it right the first time. I only drive Volvo vehicles. Avoid, Avoid, Avoid. I should've gone to Stevens Creek Volvo. I would've saved serious coin. P read more

This place the best place . My Gl450 had a breaks issue. I called and talk to Joe. He guide me and explain me everything and ask me to bring car to check. I took My car and they check and told me I just need to replace front breaks but I took two other places they told me that I need to replace all four. They ordered parts while I was talking to them and following week they fix my cars break. Price is much better than other places. They respectfully handled everything. I just love this place. read more

Good service, close to home. The price is pretty much the same with a dealership location.

One of the last businesses with true honesty , integrity and old school customer service. My experience taking my Volvo to Walter was impeccable. He informed me of issues to take care of in order of importance, without ever pushing or trying heavy sales techniques. Told me in detail of all work taking place, with associated costs. There is nowhere else that I will take my Volvo and recommend the same for all other Volvo owners. 5 stars indeed! read more

Excellent craftsmanship, wonderful customer service. A+ all around. Would definitely recommend!

Honest, honestly, so honest Walter is. He found the issue with our 240 stalling, previous mechanic didn't connect something but found other things to charge me for! so I said fine I'll go out of my way to Swedish motors to get the expert on Volvos to diagnose the issue. "Whoever worked on this last forgot to connect this, no charge. Just want to update you I'll figure out the wipers!" Again, previous mechanic was an idiot tax to teach me to stay the course and have specialists do work on my cars. read more

When Volpar closed, I needed a new place to take care of my Volvo. Walter to the rescue! His shop does great work on the standard services and quickly triaged strange my fuel pump issues. More recently, he had to tackle a harder challenge with my brake system. Long story short, he sourced the very hard to get part and took care of the issue. read more

Walter helped my daughter whose car was broken down eight hours from home. He modified his schedule and fit her in on the same-day basis and found that what we thought was a major engine problem was a five dollar hose clip. Thanks Walter! you saved the day and you were an answer to prayer. read more

I had taken my car to the dealer for a 95k checkup. When I was at the dealer, I had complained about a noise the engine was making too since the last service with them. The dealer didn't even try to address the noise problem and I simply was not confident that they did a good job. Two weeks later, my check engine light came on. I shopped around and found this place. When I dropped the car off, I did not mention the noise. Walter was awesome. He diagnosed the problem and outline the solution in an easy to understand way. They fixed the problem quicky and upon returning the car he mentioned the noise the dealer had ignored and said I should look at it for the next service, that it was most likely tensioner berrings. Walter gave me the impression that he cared deeply about the quality of his work and m,st importantly the quality of my ride. I will be going here again! read more

I drive all the way down from SF whenever my Volvo needs work because Walter and his team are the best! They're knowledgeable, thorough, and always do excellent work. If I could give them more stars, I would. (Bonus tip: Check out South Winchester BBQ if you get hungry while in the area) read more

Swedish Volvo Care - Entrance off S. Winchester - Auto Repair Near Me - Campbell, California

Swedish Volvo Care is the very best Volvo service care around. Walter can just listen to the vehicle and know what is wrong! He is the most honest and caring service provider I have ever known. He stands behind his work and makes things right no matter what. Both service techs that work in the shop are extremely knowledgeable. I'm moving away and one of the things I'm going to miss the most is my Volvo service team!! Walter & team is the BEST!! read more

Walter and the team there definitely did me a solid, Road trip, 1000 miles from home in my vintage Volvo and after running into an issue I couldnt fix these guys took my basket case and turned it into a viable car again. Fair deal and good service, its no wonder they are busy. Chuck read more

This past weekend, I packed up my Volvo XC 70 and headed out on vacation with friends. Two minutes into our journey, a friend asked if she could get something out of the cooler in the back of the station wagon. We stopped and (gasp!) could not open the gate! We found Swedish Volvo Care and pulled in. A man named Walter and his colleague (whose name I didn't get) greeted me in the office. I asked them for help. (It would have been a terribly inconvenient thing to arrive at our destination and not be able to unload the trunk.) Walter and his colleague dropped what they were doing and came out to take a look at the back hatch. They diagnosed the problem and fixed it in two minutes flat. We were back on the road in five. Thank you to Walter and his colleague! They were kind, responsive, and knowledgeable! Highly recommend! read more

Walter is amazing!! Having a reliable and safe and caring auto shop to go to made our lives so much more relaxed. I highly encourage you to utilize services at this great shop. Thank you Walter. We are a customer for life. read more

Excellent communication & extemely helpful advice from Walter! He alerted me to the unfixed recall on the airbag on my 2003 XC Volvo. Thank you Walter! I will make an appointment in your shop after the recall fix is completed at the dealer! I was not treated with the same respect at another shop (Scandia). You are eon miles the model for customer service & looking forward to working with you. read more

I took my mom's 2002 volvo in for maintenance. This shop is very honest and reliable. They specialize in volvos. They even fixed the right headlight for free! Highly recommended repair shop if you have a volvo. read more

After 14 years of dealership-only service I decided it was time to stop spending so much money on maintaining and repairing my car. I am the original owner of a 2005 Volvo S40. I took it in for the 157,500 mile service and to have a heater hose replaced. Also had another problem diagnosed, which turned out to be nothing. Walter took good care of me. He was good at explaining everything to me and assured me that some of the problems I was having were no big deal. I needed a rental a car so Walter called Enterprise and they came to his shop to pick me up. Since many auto shops in the area give Enterprise business, they have discounted rates for customers. Save about $30 over 2 days. The lights for my gauges were starting to fail. Since they were LEDs integrated into a circuit board, it was beyond their ability. Walter referred me to an electrical specialist who works on mostly Volvos. I also asked for a referral for upholstery, and he had a great recommendation for me. So far I have been impressed with their work, too. I highly recommend this shop! I found them on Yelp. They had the best reviews, so I gave them a try. I absolutely don't regret it. read more

The Grace.... at which I was received by Walter, was... how do I put this?- Uncommonly Dear. NEVER look Any Further - for ANYone, to care for your Swedish Car. EVER! Trust, exudes from Walter like a warm blanket, that you'll have all confidence your car is in the right garage! And I have the more uncommon ability than most of you, that I can do 90% of any work myself *. . . but HE was there, with ANY answer, for my last 10%!! & special proprietary tooling, any backyard guy will not have the luxury to own. - That's why you go see Walter & his team * I'm part of a fanatical troop of 10 Volvo nuts, & was referred by our Head Nut: "I've found the Greatest/ FAIREST New wizard! His name's Walter." (his son George, in with us.... & the most wonderful young man) HE, shows Mountains...... of where he came from; Walter. Now go Take your Car- to WALTER's Team!! read more

Went there for a full check-up of an used car I got and their service was really good. Friendly staff and professional care.

Having a Volvo it's been hard to find mechanics, and not be extremely expensive like dealerships. Everyone here is so helpful and nice. Saved me thousands of dollars read more

I've taken five Volvos here over the last 20 years ('90 780 Turbo, '91 245, '97 850, '99 C70, '99 V70R) and wouldn't consider taking them anywhere else. The 850, in particular, runs smoother and more powerfully today than it did when it was brand new (135K miles ago). Walter and his team know the cars and how to keep them running at their best. I especially appreciate that they don't just repair -- they educate as well. And when it's something they can't do themselves, they're upfront about it, give me the best possible referral, and coordinate with other shops to solve whatever the problem may be. read more

My 2003 Volvo XC 70 developed a loud clunking noise on the front suspension. I spoke to Walter at Swedish Volvo Care he diagnosed the problem as worn control arms. Within 24 hours of our conversation my car was in completely repaired for less than half of what he quoted. I am extremely happy with the service I received and give them my highest recommendation. read more

Love Walter's service. Been a loyal customer for years. Absolutely the best independent Volvo shop in South Bay

Walter worked really hard to help get my Volvo wagon taken care of. He gave me options as to what was needed to be done and when. I think his prices are very competitive to other Volvo repair shops. read more

I brought in my 2007 XC90 to Swedish Volvo Care with all kind of noises that I have been dealing with for a while. My XC90 has been thru thick and thin with my family, it is started to feel a little weaker and complain regularly (noises) in recent years ... until Walter and his team made it right in just a single day. Noises are gone and it drives so much better. Walter is a wonderful guy, honest and simply wants to do it right for his customers. My XC90 will only be serviced by Walter and his team from now on. read more
