Fast and fair service.

My daughter's 08 outback needed work done. One oh classmates recommended this shop. My conversation with the service writer was a good experience.

SVS did an engine rebuild for me. Communication was clear and quick, they did it in one week (could have been faster, but I think they had to wait on a part), engine bay came back super clean, they unexpectedly brought A/C back to life. Price was reasonable, and they seem very good at what they do.

I find it really important to spread the word when an auto repair shop is exceptional and trustworthy. SVS Repair is both of these things. They are honest mechanics who are skilled and fair in their pricing. I rarely leave reviews online - my experience needs to really stand out in order to motivate me to leave a review. My experience with SVS is one that warrants a review so that others can be directed to quality, honest mechanics.

By far the BEST Volvo mechanic in Portland. We have trusted SVS with our Volvo S80 T6 and Volvo V70 T5 for the past few years and have never been disappointed. We actually discovered SVS when looking for a local Volvo shop who would inspect that V70 before we bought it. The team at SVS are professionals, their prices are more than reasonable, they are very honest mechanics who are trustworthy, and they know their stuff. We've brought in our Volvos for oil changes, brake fluid, engine repairs, inspections, and even just stopping by to quickly diagnose the vehicle when it had a simple problem. Best prices in town, professional repairs, friendly customer service, short wait times, and conveniently located in Multnomah Village for a coffee or some light shopping while you wait. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with a Volvo

I've lived in the area for over a year, and I feel like I've *finally* found a shop that will do great work for a fair price. Will definitely use SVS again.

Tried to change timing belt myself but...went here. Honest, great quality. Incredibly good value. I will return when need be. Highly recommend and will recommend to anyone and everyone

Wonderful business. They were able to find a lightly used motor for my forester and did an excellent job replacing it. Even steam cleaned the engine compartment and did all of this for less than half what a dealership wanted to do same work. I will be bringing all my Subarus here moving forward.

<3 this place! Vladimir was efficient and his prices provide quite a cost savings in comparison to other auto repair shops. SVS is my new favorite car repair shop!

Dec 07, 2022

I've used SVS for my Saab. It's hard to find experts who still work on them, but Vladimir and his team are the real deal. They keep you informed, update you on any findings and prices, and work with you to make sure your car is repaired correctly but more importantly safely. As some others have said, don't let the exterior concern you. Great mechanics at a great price!

Nice folks, reliable repairs. Also a good place to buy a used car.

This is one of those shops that has that run-down exterior appearance, their garage floor isn't pristine, and the lobby is doubled as an informal office work space with no partitions between the customers and technicians. Make no mistake though, these folks know what they're doing. I sent my 1995 Saab 900 to them for a clutch replacement, flywheel resurfacing, and a transmission seal/bushing replacement. They beat the closest competitor estimate for only the clutch portion by hundreds of dollars, and didn't raise the price when I asked for the bushing and seal work. They even sent me photos of the finished job, which I have attached to this review. That work was done August of 2021. The clutch still feels great, and the transmission isn't leaking at all. I would recommend this shop to anyone in need of Saab maintenance.

Mechanic with integrity, who stand by their work. I purchased a vehicle from them about 6 months ago, and it started having engine problems. After contacting them, they offered to repair the vehicle for a significantly reduced rate, despite having no warranty with the purchase. While doing the work, they replaced several other components that were simple to do while it was torn apart. Very generous, and they do great work as well.

They do a great job in a timely manner for a fair price.

David installed catalytic shield for my 2nd gen Prius, which the thieves target the most.

Great work at good price. Guys worked on my Subaru Outback and fixed leaking head gaskets at fair price.

Had a horrible exhaust leak from my manifold. I drop off my truck on Monday night had it back the next day. They don’t overcharge you like other shops do, and actually know what they are doing

Dec 07, 2020

Fantastic service. Had my Volvo's exhaust header repaired and rear main seal replaced. They did it ahead of schedule, and for less than the original quote. Highly recommend them.

These guys rock. I've gotten several oil changes and check ups here without issue. They are were able to find time to help me out even when they were busy. I've also called them up a couple times regarding some issues I was experiencing with my Saab. Both times they helped me diagnose over the phone and get me back on the road. Good people and mechanics!

Great local shop and very experienced owner and workers here.

Vladimir was professional, quick & reasonably priced. I will definitely use him again. Thanks Vladimir, you're awesome!!

Dec 07, 2019

Great service! Fixed and back on the road really fast.

Hands down the best service and price I have ever received at any shop. I have had both a transmission replaced and a burnt valve replaced by Vlad. His prices allow me to keep my older, beloved cars going for a cost no one will match. The work is excellent and honest with a fast turnaround. I wouldn't hesitate to send my grandmother to him. Top notch work from Vlad and his guys. Thank you!!!!

Received the best price out of 4 other shops for a head gasket job on my Subaru Forester. Very happy with the work, will be returning for any other issues with my vehicle.
