They don’t work on newer Volvos. There, I saved you a phone call and/​or a fruitless trip.

10 stars for these guys. I found myself with a dead battery and trunk full of groceries that need refrigeration. I called this shop because they were the closest auto shop in proximity. Although they don’t work on my make and model of vehicle or offer mobile service, they sent someone over and had me on my way in no time. Seriously good dudes. Thanks SO much!

If you have an old Volvo that needs any work done, Matt is the man. Not only is he super knowledgeable and genuinely nice, his prices are very fair and he has a real treasure trove of parts in his shop. He obviously has a real passion for these cars (as evidenced by the car he drives himself) and is the best at keeping them on the road!

First Class garage for old Volvos. had them replace a worn-​out steering box on my 72 ES, Matt came in exactly on estimate and ahead of schedule. The work area under the hood was spotless, even replaced my horn wire. I din’t know I needed one until he showed me the frayed original. Way to look out for your customers! Thank you!

In keeping with awesome Unilocal reviews, I had a fabulous experience at X-​Ray. I was desperate to get my brake pads replaced. Matt squeezed me in 20 mins after I called, I was in and out in an hour, and he charged the lowest price out of the four shops I contacted. Props for also being honest. I had another problem with my volvo he said couldn’t fix and referred me to another mechanic.

When Matt offered to fix all my rear bushings on my 1971 145 for $ 300 I was exuberant! I had the bushings from IPD but have grown hesitant to do that sort of job without a hyrdraulic lift. He was cursing me out due to the fact that bushings don’t want to come out after 40 years and it took him more time then he anticipated but still only charged the $ 300. Ha Ha Ha! Anyway, Matt is a good guy and he will help you maintain your antique Swedish monstrosity.

I think my favorite thing about Xray is Matt’s willingness to help out a shadetree mechanic. I still toss him work every once in a while, but he knows I like to do things myself and gives me plenty of advice (and, of course, sells me parts). Great little shop, and I say that as I’m about to go down there and hand them a pile of money for fixing my car.

This is the only place to take your pre-​1975 Volvo. The owner and lead mechanic is very friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated. He usually has all the parts you need on-​site or can get them quickly. I’ve trusted him to keep my 122’s running for the last 8 years.

Matt and David are awesome, young, cool, tidy guys who love your old Volvo as much as you do. If you’ve got a vintage Volvo (122, 544, 1800, etc) these are the men you need to know. I took my 1966 PV544 to them for three years (before moving back to San Francisco) and they always did a fantastic job keeping her running, sourcing hard-​to-​find parts when needed.
