Santa Barbara Auto Repair

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

I have been going to Swedemasters for nearly 6 years for my Volvo’s servicing and repairs. Karen is wonderful and was able to get my car back up and running. They finished the repair faster than predicted and right on estimate! Definitely recommend!

Tim and Karen are the best!

Tim and Karen are the best--from the front desk to the mechanic bay--the ultimate in knowledge and service!

Very happy to have found SwedeMasters. They do a wonderful job, are very friendly, and have always told me when something *wasn't* necessary, as well as when something *was*. This is my shop for the rest of my car's life!

I have used SwedeMasters for service on my Volvo for years. Tim and Karen have always been efficient and friendly and great in getting the car done when they say it will be ready. Their mechanics are tops and have never once had to return the car for any reason after it has been worked on. I wouldn't about taking it elsewhere

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

I contacted Karen and Tim concerning my driver side lower control arm had broken December 29th. We scheduled for January 3rd, we surmised it was in my best interest to replace the passenger side lower control arm as well. I picked up my 1986 900 S 16 valve on the 4th of January. Work was accomplished in a timely and professional manner. SwedeMaster's is the shop for my vehicle's repairs.

I only have praise for the wonderful way that I was treated and the excellent work repairing my car. I have been a customer for years, and I plan to remain a customer as long as I am driving Volvos.

I have used Swedemaster for 18 years since owning my Volvo and have always been pleased with both the quality of repair and the quality of service. Tim and Karen are wonderful and knowledgeable and take the time to listen and suggest options for repair. The work is done on time and promptly and I have never had any needed followup repairs for work previously done.
