Report
I thought I needed a new battery so I jumped my car and brought it to Swedish even though I didn't have an appointment. They diagnosed my car and found everything was okay and didn't even charge for the time. I've found a new garage and will definitely use them next time I need work done on my Xc70. Service: Battery

I have been taking my Volvo's to Swedish for 10 years now and the level of service and expertise has been consistently excellent. They are always honest and realistic with estimates and timing, and are affordable compared to the dealership. I had an engine fire with a complicated supercharger repair and they navigated the process with my insurance company, advocated for me and even spared a loaner for a while when my rental expired. Their shop pug Beans is adorable. Highly recommended!
