Santa Barbara Auto Repair

I have nothing but good things to say about Tim and his team here. They have worked multiple times on my teenaged son's well used s60. They are transparent, fair and very responsive. We have relied on them during emergency work, leaving the vehicle parked at thier site. Very effective and resposvice team.

I've always said a car is only as good as your mechanic. Tim and team at Swedemasters have been my mechanics for over 20 years. If they go, my old 2003 Volvo goes. Not only have they repaired every issue, no matter how small or large but they do it with a smile until it runs as good as new. I bought it in 2010 with 44,000 and today it has 114,000 miles plus. If they don't have a part in stock, they get it fast. If a replacement part is no longer available, Office manager Karen researches the internet until she finds it. Their dedication and service is remarkable.

It's a rare thing these days to have complete confidence in a job well done... thank you so much Tim, Karen and Armando!

Swede Masters BMW SAAB VOLVO , an auto repair shop in Santa Barbara on Salsipuedes Street, is a gracious gift to owners of any of these cars that need service and repair. I own and drive a much beloved BMW that received from owner Tim Kitt and his talented staff the finest set of repairs I could have hoped for. In three visits. Tim and his team found and fixed a vital range of problems that my car had exhibited for months and in some cases years. They fixed my cars oxygen sensor, air filter, ventilation filter, air conditioning, windshield washer, oil hose, and malfunctioning door locks. This shop has the best mechanics I have ever been lucky enough to have care for my beloved stick shift Beemer.

Great service, as Great service, as always! Thank you, Tim and team.

Tim Kitt is an excellent Saab master mechanic, I am thoroughly ecstatic with the care and expertise he brings to the table. His more than affable customer service skills make dealing with him a pleasure.

I have been going to Swede Master for the last 24 years. Great service.

Tim is incredible...he did superb work on my Volvos years ago. I've searched for a mechanic to diagnose my 2011 Saab 9-5 NG for quite awhile. The usual answer is "we don't have a scanner to read the codes". Tim's scanner read my codes, and allayed my fears that I most likely have a smaller problem instead of a big one. He also provided a resource so I can move my software issue forward. He also pinpointed a suspected brake body control module for future fix. He read my tome, listened, asked questions, test-drove the car more than once, educated me on the result, then provided a detailed assessment of his work. I'm elated! And, as others have said before, beyond Tim's deep expertise, he's also a heckuva nice guy. Wish I'd remembered Swedemasters sooner. Thanks Tim and Karen -- "I'll be back". gary

Tim and Karen are the best!

Swede Masters has been my goto for my 2001 Volvo for many yrs, for both minor and major work.
