I had to replace an ABS brake module in my 2004 Volvo XC90. Dealer and another independent Volvo repair place quoted me over $2k. Larry's was able to send it out for rebuild at a substantial cost savings and lifetime warranty. So far so good. It was still spendy, but not outrageous, and saved me the potential of messing up my car trying to do it myself.

Warren & team puts the "service" back in service. Yup. The whole thing! Fast, efficient, and kind neighborhood mechanic. No frills, no nickel and dime you, no intimidation of mechanical terms to get me to pay for services I don't need (e.g. refilling blinker fluid)

Honest and great worksmanship at an affordable price. Got my side-view mirror replaced and was provided a fair estimate. Took them less than an hour to replace once the part was procured.

I bought a used 2016 Volvo about four months ago and took it in for an oil change. I did not have the car inspected before I bought it and asked them to do a full review of the car and let me know what works needs to be done. Warren gave me a list of things that either needed attention or immediate attention. One month later I took the car in to get the immediate attention items fixed and told him that while I was here to also fix the other items he identified that need attention.
When I came to pick up the car Warren let me know he only fixed the immediate attention items and the others did not need repair yet they were just things to monitor for the future. I can't say I remember a car repair shop ever being this honest! They've got a customer for life out of me!

An amazing focus on customer satisfaction. At Warrens suggestion, we had invested in trying to identify and solve for an issue with my Volvo V70. After several unsuccessful repairs, it soon became apparent the issue was the engine block itself. Warren sourced us a new engine and covered the expenses to swap out since the initial repairs didn't solve for the original compression issue. I would recommend for anyone looking for a good Volvo center here in Seattle!

I was referred to Larry's and was seriously impressed with the work they did. They were quick, thorough, and listened well. I recently purchased a late-80's 240 with the hope of restoring it but I needed Warren's help to get all the 30 year old cobwebs swept away so that I could rely on my car for a very long daily commute. Warren never once tried to upsell me anything, and after looking under the hood I agree!
The parts and quality of the work done is really nicely done and was done considering the entirety of each system involved, not part swapping! *mind blown* I have no idea how this shop is able to work so fast and yet be so thorough. Seriously impressed!
