Art’s Garage

This place was just ok. Maybe because it’s the only Volvo specialist in this town besides the dealer, but the prices were nothing great and the service left me with lots to wish for. I would have happily payed the premium from dealership just to receive better service. I expected more, at least my car worked well afterwards. Did not feel appreciated as a customer.

I used to take my car to the local Volvo dealership for repairs before I discovered Art’s Garage, and I will never go back. He is very knowledgeable about the brand, is reliable, doesn’t try to push unneeded service on you, and never puts any surprises on the invoice. Labor rates are less than a dealership, but the main reason I switched is the great customer service.

Art is a wonderful mechanic with reasonable prices!
He specializes in Volvo, but I think he works on other cars too? Not sure — hope so for the non-​Volvo people! He’s had his own garage on 15^th since 1984. The entrance to his shop is so well kept I wasn’t sure they were open… comfy leather couch if you need to wait.
I got three estimates on my last repair — Art was the middle estimate, but much more knowledgeable than the lower priced shop. He was still more than 20% less than Volvo dealer on several items and labor. He also gave me a priority list of repairs and admitted two of the items on my list were not urgent (unlike the other places).
The car was ready earlier than he estimated and it drives so well… like new! I’ve been to several mechanics in Tulsa and OKC in the last 3 years, all have been good, but I was thrilled with my experience with Art and will be going to him exclusively from now on.
