I had been taking my 2012 Volvo C30 to Robert while I lived in L.A. for the past couple of years and couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, he was friendly and welcoming. His honesty stood out, as he thoroughly explained what my car needed without pushing unnecessary services. The quality of the work is excellent, and my car has never run better. I appreciate their reliability—every time I visited, they met deadlines and communicated clearly about updates. Unfortunately, I’ll have to find another mechanic since I’ve moved, but I highly recommend 2 Guys From Sweden to anyone in the area with a Volvo.

This is a great shop. Robert had taken care of my late model Saab a few times now. His knowledge of these cars is extremely confidence inspiring. What they get done in such a small space is also a bit of a marvel to watch!

I was interested in buying a Saab and had it taken to Robert and John to do a pre-purchase inspection. They were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly, honest. They gave me tons of great advice about the car and specific model. 10/10 will be going here for any questions, concerns, or maintenance! Highly recommend

We brought our Volvo XC90 and they were extremely helpful and nice. They are very honest and transparent. The best shop in LA by far - we cannot be happier for finding them.

Jon and Robert helped me out of a jam. I bought a used 9 3 that had a blown head casket that I was not aware of until it was too late. They were able to repair my car at a reasonable price and got me back on the road in no time! Thanks guys. You are true professionals. Steven

6/28/22 Robert installed (2) new drive axles and (2) new trunk lid shock absorbers on our 1998 Volvo S-70. We were exceptionally pleased with Robert’s pleasant personality and expertise on repairing the Volvo brand car. His partner, John is also very nice and knowledgeable. The shop is conveniently located off Interstate 405. It is very well equipped and tidy. Our repairs were completed on time as promised. The repair estimate for parts and labor were very reasonable. We are very pleased with the completed repair job done on our Volvo. We look forward to doing business with Robert and John in the near future. We highly recommend 2Guys from Sweden Volvo and Saab auto repair. Don and Mary Ledgard Irvine, California 92603 2/20/23 Nice to see Robert and John again for the New Year! Our appointment was for a Check Engine light on our 1998 Volvo S-70. Robert confirmed the problem to be an error code PO455, emission, large leak detected. He also found another code related to a coolant problem and advised us to keep our eye on the coolant level for now! Robert’s repair estimate for a purge valve, labor and tax was reasonable. The repair was completed in a timely manner. We are so happy to have found the 2Guys from Sweden, Robert and John to repair our 1998 Volvo S-70. They are both pleasant, honest and competent mechanics who repair the Volvo and Saab brand cars at a fair and reasonable price! We highly recommend them! See you Guy’s soon. Don and Mary Ledgard Irvine, Ca. 92603.

Best Volvo mechanic in Los Angeles. Honest, very trustworthy and efficient.

Can’t say enough positive things about these two guys! Honest, reliable, friendly, knowledgeable.. the list goes on! Might be one of my longest held relationships in LA 😂 if you have a Saab look no further!

Feb 06, 2024

Excellent customer experience, expert knowledge, fair & honest quotes, with superior technical service.

Feb 06, 2024

Great guys!

I just visited, 2 Guys From Sweden. I needed a second key programmed. John did it in under 5 minutes and at a very cost effective price. He was great. Nice gentleman indeed. I definitely recommend them for your future key programming needs. 👍🙂 Amayamark The Furniture Doctor

I was recently going through my maintenance records and realized it has now been over 10 years that I've been getting my car serviced at 2 Guys From Sweden. So this review is long overdue. I initially decided to bring my car to 2 Guys From Sweden based on the recommendation of a neighbor, who also had a Saab, and had nothing but nice things to say about Robert and his shop. Previously, I was taking my car to a general mechanic who apparently had no idea what he was doing. The first time I brought my car to Robert, he thankfully fixed all the “repairs” (mistakes) that the previous mechanic had made. Since that day, I have never hesitated calling Robert whenever I have a problem with my car. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and honest. The cost of maintaining an older Saab or Volvo can add up, but Robert’s prices are very reasonable. And in truth, it really does pay to have specialists like Robert, who works on Saabs and John, who works on Volvos because they know your car inside and out. And on the absolutely rare occasion when there is something they can’t fix, they will let you know. Over the last 10 years, I have happily brought my car back to Robert anytime it needed scheduled maintenance or repairs because I know it’s always in the best of hands. And if they’re not too busy, I usually spend a little extra time at the shop because it’s always a pleasure talking to Robert and John and they usually have a few classic cars on the lot for me to drool over. My car will soon be 25 years old and I’d like to keep it on the road for as long as possible and I know Robert is the guy to make that happen. I’m a customer for life. If I ever get the chance to add another Saab or Volvo to my garage, the first place I’m driving to is 2 Guys From Sweden. And if you have a Saab or Volvo in need of servicing and repair, it would be a mistake to take your car anywhere else.

It's always a good time when your mechanics are knowledgeable and don't try to sell you things that you don't need. Service is always excellent, prices are reasonable and both guys are great people.

Feb 06, 2024

There is no better place to take your car from Sweden. Simply the best. I have been trusting them for 30 years. Just bought my 3rd classic Volvo.

Feb 06, 2024

These guys are great!!! They fixed a blown oil seal and changed my timing belt on my 2004 Volvo S40 for a good price! Same car 3 years later had some issues and Robert test drove my car on a busy Friday for no charge and said voltage matters check the battery. I then got a new battery and 6 codes went away! Highly recommend and call first they're busy for a good reason.

These guys are incredible. Have saved me countless times. Best mechanics in town

They are great Honest and helpful

The 2 mechanics are JOHN and ROBERT. I did not see anyone else working on the vehicles. First, I am a new client and was so impressed with the explanations of the technical issues that their expert knowledge was readily apparent. Additionally, they are very efficient and work on the vehicle immediately. Second, what they charge for labor is 15% LOWER than what my local mechanic charges me back in Florida, which has a lower cost of living. In this case, I don't believe their cheaper cost of hourly labor equals an inferior service quality compared to the nearest VOLVO DEALER in Los Angeles. Third, VOLVO KNOWLEDGE. John explained how VOLVO QUALITY has not diminished since the new owners are a Chinese company. He clarified that all VOLVO vehicles for the Chinese market are manufactured inside China by these Chinese owners. All other VOLVO vehicles sold worldwide are engineered and manufactured in Sweden, and in some cases the Swedish components are put together by American workers. Fourth, HONESTY. Our white 2013 VOLVO XC60 T6 has nearly 120,000 miles. I asked if the VOLVO reputation for long lasting vehicles would be applicable here. With confidence, John explained that those vehicles made in 2013 were very solid and could reach 300,000 miles. Without a doubt, this level of quality is VERY RARE. Any dishonest mechanics would declare that I needed to sell the VOLVO because of future repairs and unexpected high costs. My previous 2001 ACURA MDX SUV reached this milestone of 300,000 without exceeding the expected repairs. This is not the case for their 2011 model, and the newer generation underwent a significant number of vehicle recall (different models included) because the engine would unexpectedly turn off in the middle of driving.... this could easily kill the people inside the ACURA vehicles across different models. Fifth and lastly, both JOHN and ROBERT have a very loyal customer base. John explained their decision NOT TO RAISE THEIR HOURLY LABOR COSTS despite inflation. The raise would not help their very loyal customers. Because of this explanation, I understood why their entire lot was filled with customers vehicles both VOLVO and SAAB. Hopefully, this favorable review answers all questions. PS: I wrote this review without receiving any compensation. Only as a token of appreciation to both JOHN and ROBERT. A simple exchange of value for value... a very fair and mutual trade.

Absolutely fantastic mechanics they are!! They saved my Volvo!! Top men!

Feb 06, 2023

Amazing place!

I needed to get my suspension replaced on my Saab and had heard good things from another Saab owning friend. Within a couple hours of dropping off my car, Robert had diagnosed the issue and let me know exactly how much the replacement parts and labor would cost, which were significantly less than an estimate I got from another shop closer to home. Robert was extremely helpful in explaining everything to me and kept me updated about their progress. Within a few days, the car was ready to go and rides great now. My experience here surpassed all my expectations and made my stress disappear immediately once I realized just how knowledgeable and dependable these guys are. I will definitely be back for any future repairs.

Feb 06, 2023

It was my great fortune to have Robert bring my 245 gl back to life. It had sat in my driveway for over a decade. He was thorough, conscientious and did what was best for me and my wagon.

Feb 06, 2023

My check engine light came on and they replaced it with a used part, free of charge. Great and more importantly, honestly and reliable mechanics Edit: came here after I went to the closest mechanic for convenience and they tried to charge me almost double what Robert and Jan tried. An honest mechanic is invaluable so I will only bring my Volvo here.

These 2 guys from sweden are great! Very very good
