Santa Barbara Auto Repair

Swede Masters did an excellent job recently (Dec 2021) on our 2015 Volvo XC 60 with nearly 60,000 miles. We bought the Volvo in Houston new in 2015 with a 100,000 mile warranty. We have been servicing the Volvo at the Calabasas Volvo Dealer. The Calabasas Volvo dealer closed down in 11/2021 and we were advised to go to the Volvo dealer in Van Nuys for any future work. In November 2021, our Volvo developed a problem which caused problems for the vehicle stalling and not starting. My wife was at a light in Santa Maria where the car went dead and wouldn't start. Horns honked at us and it was very stressful. Eventually we got the car to start and she drove home. to Santa Barbara. We had options, tow the car to the Van Nuys Volvo dealer for repair (3 weeks without a car) or try and repair the car at Swede Masters in Santa Barbara (less than 2 weeks). After many phone calls with Volvo, they agreed to approve Swede Masters. We went with Swede Masters and picked up the car today after they had the car for about 10 days. Swede Masters did excellent diagnostics and a resulting repair job (replace the starter). We will be using Swede Masters from now on. Nice job Tim.

Always accommodating. Drove in without an appointment to check a bulb failure. Took me right away. Also checked the oil and washer fluid. Asked to check tire pressure as I was making a long distance drive. Did all of it with hesitation.

I have always had wonderful service and great help with any issues with my Volvo. Thank you Swede Masters.

Ordering the complex part was perfect, on time, and as expected. Perfect!

Courteous and helpful. They were able to change a burnt out headlight in ten minutes. Great service with a smile.

Honest and hardworking.

If I could give Tim and Swede Masters 10 stars . . . I most certainly would. Great work and excellent customer service. If you have a classic Saab 900, this is the mechanic you have been searching for.

Rick earns 5 stars again.

I’ve been taking my Volvos to Tim and his crew at Swedasters for over 10 years. Their level of service is top notch and I always have the certainty that my car is being well cared for with all concerns addressed for a good price. They have excellent communication and work hard to get your car serviced in a timely manner. I am a very happy customer, and couldn’t recommend this business more highly!

Courteous, responsive, completes work in a timely manner, thorough. It is a pleasure doing business with Swedemasters. They have taken care of my 2001 Volvo for over 7 years now.
