"I recently found Private Volvo Mechanic after looking for some time to find a trust worthy person to work on our cars. They have been exactly what I've been looking for. Knows Volvos inside and out and it always very prompt in addressing my concerns. Would recommend to anyone who owns a Volvo. Won't be bringing my car to anyone else! Highly recommend!!"

"We wanted to get away from paying high prices at the dealership for repair work on our 2016 Volvo XC90, as it is out of warranty. We took it to another mechanic who was supposed to be Volvo certified. Big mistake! We found Private Volvo Mechanic online with great reviews. He saved the day on our car. Really awesome job and to work with. Very knowledgable. Will be coming back here for all of our future Volvo car needs."

"Perhaps the best mechanic I ever had. This was my first time visiting and i can say that Private Volvo Mechanic is amazing. Setting up an appointment was easy and the car was finished in less than 24hrs. The work was done in a timely fashion and for a very good price. I will definitely be going back. Flash forward 4 months after my brake install. I had a question about the rotors that were installed. I shot a text and got an instant response. Addressed my concern and reminded me I have a 1 year warranty. Man did he put me at ease. This guy is a great mechanic. And again I say this. I will definitely go back."

"I found Ed in 2020 after other mechanics had (somewhat expensively!) failed to resolve a fuel leak with my 2004 S80. He instantly recognized that the issue was related to the unique design of Volvo fuel tanks and noted why previous repairs had failed--and then he fixed it all for a reasonable price and threw in a couple other quick fixes as well! Since then, he's helped me keep it on the road at 219,000 miles. He knows these cars inside and out, and always has good recommendations and advice. There's no better option!"

"This was one of my best experiences with any mechanic. He has a real in-depth knowledge of Volvo's and a passion for fixing them up. Service was far better than the dealership and prices were better too. He took the time to walk me through my car's diagnostic and show me what needed to be fixed and why. I would recommend Private Volvo Mechanic to anyone and I will be bringing my other Volvo's here soon! Thank you!"

"I contacted Private Volvo Mechanic for our XC70. We had a problem that he told us was a quick, simple fix and told us where we could go. I was impressed with the speedy responses, how advice was so on point we saved hundreds on our repair. Thanks again."
