Santa Barbara Auto Repair

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.

Tim and his crew always do a fine job.

Excellent service, always. I have relied on Tim’s expertise for well over a decade. My concerns are always addressed, maintenance is closely monitored, and nothing unneeded is ever recommended. In addition, Tim is a pleasure to deal with. Thanks to Tim and his staff, my 2002 SAAB continues to be a pleasure to drive.

As always Tim greets us with smile and does a superb job. He ordered a special part from Sweden and installed in rapid time. We have relied on Swedemasters for service of our 2006 V50 for many years.

I bought my Volvo 850 used, back in 1996. Thankfully, I had very few problems over the years and one thing was for sure, when I did have an issue, I could always count on Tim to fix any issue that cropped up. Eleven years ago, I moved from Santa Barbara, and although I do not miss the town, I do miss Tim's expertise, advise, efficiency and kindness. Even though I am miles away now, I know that if I find myself in a pinch, Recently, I had a pinch and Tim was able to bail me out by finding a very hard to find part. Tim is there for me. Please know that Tim will come through for you in all your Volvo needs.

Our experience with Rick could not have been better. He is responsible, knowledgeable, wise, and so friendly on top of it all. Thank you, Rick!
