RV Volvo-Saab Service

The guy that helped me was nice and professional. However, don’t take your car there if you own a Jaguar. Went there a week ago because my check engine light was on. They charged me 100 diagnostic fee and said it would cost 1,000 to fix the car and still no guarantees the check engine light will disappear. They also gave me a secondary list of things that needed to be fixed and didn’t give me a price for this list since my car «had too many problems». Well, I went to a mechanic who actuality understands Jaguars this week. It cost me $ 150 to fix the check engine light problem and was quoted approximately 300 – 400 to fix everything else that these guys said would cost 1,000 not including the secondary list. Bottom line, if you don’t service Jaguars, just say that. Don’t waste my time or money if you don’t.

My clutch blew and I had my saab towed in. They stayed open late on a Saturday to wait for me & the tow to arrive! They did a great job fixing things and keeping me updated, even though it was the week of Christmas. Thanks!

The only go to place for repairs on your Saab or Volvo… These guys are professionals and know how to take care of your car. Edgar is a very nice guy and he will listen to you and he will figure out what the problem is with your car. They’re honest and fast. Once again if you love your Swedish cars you better let them take care of it for you. Thanks Edgar.

I just had my car towed into the RV Volvo-​Saab with what I thought was a blown head gasket. I was looking at a huge bill and wondering how I could afford it. I got a call back from the shop and they let me know that it was just an old fitting, and that it would be an easy fix. I was ecstatic!
They could have sold me a complete engine rebuild and I would have had to eat the cost, but they were very honest with me about the service and quoted me a fair price!
5 stars and a big «GO HERE» from me!

I’ve been going to this ace for the last 8 years. And they have never failed to amaze me wether if it’s just an oil change or fixing up something in My car. They’re proffesional individuals who are highly qualified. It’s more so a family run business so they care for every car that comes in there. More than anything you can trust these people and have reccomended many of my friends over the last 8 years. If you need someone trust worthy who does quality work this is the place to be. I used to drive here all the way from Venice beach.

Very nice kind people here. Came here because my side mirror broke. They ordered the part, it arrived in two days. They fixed my problem in 15 minutes.

If I could give more than five stars to RV Volvo-​Saab, I absolutely would! These guys are true professionals who take great pride in their work. Edgar and Jose are both Volvo factory trained technicians, and boy, do they know their stuff! Every time I’ve brought in my C70, Edgar and his team have been extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and honest, and their work has been impeccable! They know the value of customer service and will always go the extra mile. I will never go to another Volvo repair shop. Edgar, Jose, Alex, and Raymond — keep doing your thing because you guys are the best!

I’ve never posted a Unilocal review before, but I had such a horrible experience with these guys that I needed to write this. Here are my reasons that I highly recommend you don’t visit this shop:
1) They once charged me for a system upgrade AND DIDN’T DO IT.
2) They performed and charged me for an oil change without checking with me even though I had my oil changed just a week before I brought it in.
3) They reinstalled my skid plate, charged me for the screws and when I brought it in for an oil change at a local Valvoline, they told me (and showed me) that whoever reinstalled my skid plate didn’t put on the correct Volvo screws. In fact, they were all different lengths and sizes.
4) They replaced my alternator and took the good serpentine belt which was on there and replaced it with a belt that was about half the size it should have been. Luckily I caught this before it did any damage to my car, brought it in and demanded they put my old belt back on. They then called me with a long list of repairs I needed to do immediately. I refused and will never bring my car back.
Although these guys have fooled a lot of people, BEWARE. THEY ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY.

I’ve always received excellent service here. Every single staff member is professional and trustworthy. This place understands the importance of customer service .They are always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied. Will only take my car here for service. Do yourself a favor and allow them to work on your car. You will not be disappointed.

Thanks to finding RV Volvo, I have found a new, honest and skillful repair shop!
My story: I took my Volvo to a popular local repair shop where they were supposed to install new brake pads & rotors and repair my non-​working emergency brake.
When I got it back the car made horrible noises, so I took it to the dealer for inspection. It turns out the repair shop did not use Volvo factory parts and did not install the parts correctly, which made driving the car very dangerous. Cars need correctly-​installed brakes!
I took the car back to the shop that did the work to give them a chance to do it correctly. They replaced the after-​market parts with authentic Volvo parts.
But soon the car started making loud noises again. I complained to a friend, who told me he has been taking his Volvo to RV Volvo for years and is very happy with their work. They are close to my house, so I called and they were able to take my car the same day.
Edgar and Jose were very friendly and professional. They drove with me to hear the noise. Jose put my car on a lift and took apart the rear wheels to expose the brakes. Guess what? They showed me that the prior shop had not installed the springs correctly, which allowed the pads to bounce around hitting the rotors!
I walked over to the nearby Americana during the short wait while Edgar fixed the problem. Not only did they refuse payment for the brake repair, they also replaced a burned out bulb gratis.
RV Volvo has a new, grateful customer! Thanks Edgar and Jose!

Unilocal directed me to this wonderful repair shop a few weeks ago. Should I ever be in Glendale again with car troubles, I will make sure to stop here. Everyone was so attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. I came in with about 7 bulbs blown out and they reset them quickly, as well as informed me about other potentially hazardous problems from wear and tear on my car. They also flipped my tires around to ensure safety until I got them replaced, as they were worn down and could possibly spin out while braking.
Every time I go to a dealership I’m ripped off. This repair service offers great fees for better work done. Everyone here are very nice guys and I highly recommend stopping here for your Volvo needs!

Great quality courteous service, had my brakes and regulator fixed about 2 weeks ago at an Excellent price. Very pleased. Thanks Edgar!

My Uncle Brent and Aunt Marbely got their car serviced here by Edgar. Truly great service, affordable pricing, and superb customer care.
I also requested a quote for my Ford Focus just for the labor and Edgar quoted lesser than what my dealership is asking for, which is much appreciated.
My aunt and uncle are very happy that their car is back to new and it runs amazing. Thank you and I will soon be coming to you too.

Thank you so much Edgar and his crew really did an outstanding job with my car. I drive an hour to get here but I dont mind because I am getting quality and trustworthy service. Plus they are knowledgeable with their service explain things well. You leave knowing more about your car. I am really happy about the service. I highly recommend this place to all my family and friends. Its an a great location too while getting your car fix you can walk up to the Americana and Glendale mall to do shopping ! :)

The best mechanics I’ve ever known — better than the dealers out there!
Edgar, Alex, Jose and their entire crew are honest, skilled, experienced mechanics. I started going there about 2 years ago in maintaining my ’06 Volvo S40, and my choice of going with them was one of the best car-​related decisions I’ve ever made.
They give you an idea on what needs to be done, and if there’s a lot to do, they give it to you in order of priority, so you know what you should immediately fix and what can wait. They give you thoughtful and practical reasonings behind each priority.
They are the only ones I trust in handling my car, so the next time you need skilled mechanics, you shouldn’t think twice. Just go with them. Surely if you do, you’ll never regret it, as I know I didn’t!

Great service! Edgar, Jose, and company really know how to treat you right and make you feel like you are dealing with knowledgable professionals.
The shop is also very clean and has a very «European» feel to it which is appropriate. Repairs were made at a reasonable price, and the service was quick; couldn’t be more positive about this shop!

This was my first time here and the service was great! He had called to let me know there were other issues. He did not push me to get them done, but allowed me to make a decision and or check out other places to confirm the issues. I decided to get them done with Edgar. His prices are competitive and they were working past their hours to get the cars done! They are definitely committed to serving their clients.

Really nice guys. They go above and beyond what is needed. I’ve been here several times and they always take care of me very quickly on Saturdays usually. This time I thought I just needed brake pads on the back of my 2002 S40, turns out I needed pads and rotors on all four wheels. Even though I ended up needing much more work done than expected, they showed me why it necessary… and I appreciate the visual tutorial. I normally go to the Swedish Car Clinic in Harbor City, but I live in Los Feliz and I can’t beat the proximity to this place.
These guys are the best Volvo Garage I’ve found in LA. If you can’t make it to the Swedish Car Clinic all the way in the South Bay, go to RV Volvo in Glendale. It’s a hidden gem in a city of many many auto mechanic choices.

I like these guys. I’ve taken my XC90 with 100K miles for tune ups, maintenance schedules, repairs and advice. Always good quality service. Prices are more than fair for Volvo services. Edgar and his team are knowledgeable. Once I took it back in for another look at something I was concerned about. Checked it out, no charge.
Highly recommend anyone with a Volvo to check them out. Maybe the two bad reviews here were flukes. I’ve always felt they were honest and most interested in making sure I am satisfied. Once you find a good mechanic, like these guys, you go back often.

It was a great experience servicing my Volvo 2002 V70 here today. I brought my car in to service with a transmission problem. Edgar was professional and above all honest. He quickly diagnosed my car, and he advised me to perform other tests before concluding on a bad transmission. I am extremely happy because Edgar was able to fix the problem, and I did not spend on a transmission repair. It turned out my car just needed a computer programming.
I have never experienced a shorter wait time than at Edgar’s shop. I will definitely be bringing my cars to Edgar for repair. Thanks again for this wonderful experience!!!
