I have used this auto shop twice, and each time the service is amazing, they are fair and dependable, you can reach them through calling or via text, which is incredibly convenient. I feel it's very difficult to find an honest, reliable auto shop, and with Swedish auto Works. I've hit the jackpot. read more

Steve is extremely knowledgeable of all things Saab and responsive in tackling the hydraulic failure impacting my clutch. I have utmost confidence in leaving my 1999 9-3 in his hands. read more

Steve and his guys are experts at Volvo! My scope of work was a bit daunting, given that the Pistons and the valves had come a bit too close to one another, he has done this before, and did it with confidence and competence had a good value. The dealers all were recommending a complete engine overhaul, and Steve knew what it really took. Trust these guys completely. read more

When I moved to town I was sad to say goodbye to my mechanics in L.A., whom I absolutely adored. I wanted to find someone like that in Phoenix and I believe I have. Steve and Johnny were both extremely friendly, competent and absolutely transparent about repairs and how my car works. Instead of taking my car to Arrowhead Volvo, who quoted me over $1,000 for a timing belt replacement, I took it to Swedish Auto Werks where I saved about 30% on the very same repair. Not only that, Steve gave me a list of items that still might be covered under my Volvo warranty and encouraged me to get *those* items taken care of at the dealer while my warranty was still in effect. Who does that? Swedish Auto Werks, that's who. I'll be coming back here for all of my repair needs from now on. Finding a mechanic you can trust is SO important. Steve used to work as a Service Manager at the big dealership and knows how they operate. (Did you know the dealer service reps are on commission? I didn't til Steve told me.) He also knows Volvos. Johnny also used to work at the dealership fixing Volvos. Again, I'm so glad I found these great guys. Coming here is a no-brainer. Why would you go to a dealer when you have ultra-experienced Volvo mechanics at Swedish Auto Werks? read more

This is my first time visiting here. So far I took my Volvo XC70 2007 to Tempe Volvo, Sun Devil Auto bell and cave creek. But today I was very much satisfied with the service they provided. read more

Super helpful and professional. Definitely know their stuff. Would not hesitate to call on them for your automotive needs.

Responsive, Timely and didn't over charge me! Would recommend and will call again if my volvo needs anything more!

When my Saab started acting up on the way home from Vegas, I started thinking, thank god I didn't lose to much in Vegas, because this is going to be expensive. So I prepared to pay through the nose thinking I was going to have to drop it off at the dealership, but I did a quick search on Yelp and found these guys. My car and my wallet are better for it. To say these guys are honest and helpful is an understatement. The problem my car had was a tricky one and tough to diagnose, these guys worked on it way more than what they charge me in labor. They had a sense of ownership that drove them to find the issue and didn't try to sell me any BS flushes or additives. They definately went above and beyond. You don't find that too often in a repair shop, which is what sets these guys apart from the rest. If you own a Saab or Volvo, this is where you should take your car for routine maintenance and repair, hands down. read more

I have a 2002 Volvo S60 that had an oil leak. I brought it in to have them diagnose the issue and they looked over the entire car from top to bottom with the most accurate and honest assessment of the car. The staff there is very friendly and understanding of your situation. The price to get the assessment was very fair. He explained all of the issues in full detail with a most to least urgent list. He also mentioned the mechanics of each piece what the fault of one item does to the rest of the system. There are a lot of auto shops out there and it's hard to pick one that you think will be honest and fair. I will undoubtedly go here any time my Volvo needs work. read more

I have an older Saab (I guess all Saabs qualify as older now) and this is the only place I will take it from now on. Owner was friendly and they fixed and diagnosed the problem quickly. read more

I would avoid this shop, it is not an ethical or reasonable place. Maybe once it was good for saabs but no longer. It has new ownership and when I stopped by I wanted to run out shouting help! Trust your instincts, but don't stop here. A mechanic is like any other business, and some take pride in their work and earning the trust of their customers. Others just want a quick buck at your expense. Buyer beware! read more

I took my 5 series BMW to these guys for a brake job. They saved me quite a bit of money and were accommodating to my work schedule. I'll continue to take my BMW and future cars here. read more

They never answer the phone or respond to voicemail messages.

I bought a 2009 Volvo in October last year. I have taken it to Steve at Swedish Auto Werks for 2 issues. A sunroof issue (broken motor) and a frozen lug bolt. He has taken care of me both times. The first time I took it to him for the sunroof, he had to order the motor for the sunroof. He asked if I wanted to prepay for the motor and installation or I could wait until I brought it back. Normally, I would have opted for the latter, but I decided to pay in advance that day. It took a little longer than expected to get the part, but once it came in he got me in and installed the sunroof motor. It took them longer than the 2 labor hours I was charged for, but he did not charge me anything additional. Second visit was for the frozen lug bolt. He ordered the new hub as we thought the lug bolt would break and we would need a new hub ($240 part and 2 hours of labor). Texted to let me know Car was ready, when I arrived he said he was able to get the lug bolt out and re-tap the the hub and use a new lugbolt. So I didn't have to pay for a new hub that he had ordered and only pay for the labor and lug bolt. That's an honest mechanic. If you have a Volvo or Saab, this should be your new mechanic! read more

Here used to be better. But at some point the main technician (the older guy in the picture before they cropped him out) stopped working here and Steve became the main technician. Steve is a really good guy and knowledgeable mechanic. Also he would answer your questions on the phone. But the other crew I saw kept on changing and I cannot really trust a place which keeps on changing its technicians. Besides that the main problems I see with this place is their pricing and "diagnosis fee". If you know exactly what needs to be done, they will give you a quote but that'll be typically higher than average if you shop around for a little. However if you don't know exactly the problem and you want them to check it, they immediately charge you about $100 diagnosis fee. I understand diagnosis fee for complicated things, when you need to remove parts from the car or test it for a long period of time. But most of the time you'll end up spending one hour labor's worth of money for something which can be figured out in tops 5-10 minutes. And most of the shops typically would check your car and give you a quote for free anyways. Basically here would charge you $100 just to see your car and tell you what the problem is without doing any work on it. They also exclusively use genuine parts, which might be a good or bad thing depending on how much you wanna spend on parts. Since you can get OEM parts usually for far less cheaper. Their waiting area is clean and they have free internet and coffee, which is nice while waiting. They also have one loan car that you can get if you schedule quite a bit ahead of time. I think their work is good (assuming Steve worked on the car, I am not sure about other crew) but it's overpriced and you need to know exactly what needs to be done to avoid spending $100 on the diagnosis fee. read more

Steve and the employees at Swedish Auto Werks took great care of me. I needed a few essential parts fixed on my Volvo XC90 and they knew right what to do. Trust them with your Swedish car and have no regrets that you'll be taken care of! The free rental car made life extremely easy while fixing my car. They are the real deal! read more

Great work and reasonably priced. Steve and his staff are knowledgeable and pretty accurate when quoting what you sick car needs and what it is going to set you back. If you have a Saab in the Phoenix area this is the shop to seek out. read more

I just took my car to my regular Saab shop in Michigan for an oil change and to prepare for the long drive back to Phoenix. I mentioned that I'd had some work done on my car while I was in Phoenix, and showed the receipt to my mechanic. I learned that a part that Swedish Auto Werks charged me $450 dollars for would have cost me $60 in Michigan. Additionally, they replaced hoses that my mechanic said generally do not wear out on Saabs. And he said I was charged twice the hours of labor that he would charge for the same job. To be clear, I think Swedish Auto Werks did good work. They were nice, did the work in a timely manner, even provided me with a free rental car for the day. I was hoping that Swedish Auto Werks was going to be my trusted Phoenix-area mechanic. I might still do oil changes or small jobs there, but I can no longer trust them to give fair prices on parts and labor. I'm not sure if they saw my out-of-town plates and decided to overcharge, or if they do this to everyone. Caveat emptor. If they give you an estimate that seems dear, do some research and make sure it's fair. read more

We have had multiple repairs performed on my son's 2004 9-3 Arc 2.0T. Fair prices and good work. When we had a subsequent issue with the cooling system after a repair, they fixed it at no additional cost. Honest shop in our experience. read more

I am still very happy with Swedish Auto Werks. Steve and his crew continue to provide great service at reasonable prices with repairs being finished on time for the quoted price. My car at 132,0000 miles is going as strong as it did 5 years ago thanks to the maintenance and repairs that it receives at Swedish Auto Werks. Thank you for dependable service at a reasonable cost! read more

Swedish Auto Werks - Auto Repair Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The only way you can own a quality car is to ensure that you also have a good and honest mechanic. Steve sold me a 2005 Saab at a great price that runs excellent and I couldn't be happier. In each and every instance he went the extra mile and ensured that I drove away with everything I needed. Buying and owning a used car can be an enduring challenge, but with Steve, he demonstrates time and again that he is willing to do the right thing for his customers. I couldn't be more thankful for a reliable, honest, and capable enterprise that Steve has built here. These are good cars, not throwaway automobiles. You may not have owned such a car in the past, or even considered it, but you should with Steve in town. read more

We've been using this place since before Steve took over. I trust them & have never had a complaint or problem of any kind. Even if Steve takes a rare vacation, his staff is wonderful. Noah helped me with my bent wiper when I arrived just before closing. I waited only about 10-15 mins & he fixed it! Love Swedish AutoWerks on Cave Creek & knowing that I can trust them. read more

Steve is Amazing! I will never bring my car anywhere but to him. He explains everything to me and I feel like he really cares about my vehicle. Very nice waiting room with Wi-Fi and coffee. Its quiet and it doesn't hurt that Steve is very easy on the eyes . read more

with SAAB out of business this place is a must for any SAAB owner in the valley. Very professional and they really know SAAB well. I wait for my oil changes and they always get me in and out quickly. read more

This repair shop is the only place we will take our vehicles. Especially our two Volvo's. We met Steve Sweet, one of the family owners, many years ago when he was our Service Adviser at the Volvo dealership. When he departed from the we were lost. Our repairs were frequent and expensive and we lost our trust. Thankfully we found Steve and have been back on track with trustworthy and professional maintenance and repair work on our Volvo's. We give the a 5 Star rating without hesitation. read more

Definitely my go to for all the maintenance needs of my cars. Recently had a timing belt replaced in our van. Was a smooth process, professional, timely, and would strongly recommend them to anyone. read more

Awesome, helpful, friendly, work done right, thoughtfully considered our budget in repair needs. Steve is solid.

I don't think I've ever been to a repair place with such high integrity, honesty, and fairness; Swedish Auto meets them all! I would only recommend them here in the Phoenix area, they're the best! -Bo read more

Stay away. Only reason I gave them 1 star is because it won't let me leave 0 stars. I just moved from Tucson to Phoenix. I recently went to Swedish cause of the 2 reviews I read .Initially I went there to have them replace my struts which a foreign car service in Tucson had told me would run me $400 to replace. Before we ever got to the struts they had me down for $900 of other repairs which I agreed to have them do including $100 to repair my front bumper which was sticking out; my front bumper is still sticking out after the $100 Swedish Auto Werks charge . When I called the owner to tell him that he told me it was because the sheet metal underneath was bent and he would undo the work he did and give me a refund. Why do it in the first place if you can't fix it right? I had another shop in Tucson, also a foreign car repair service replace my $1000 swedish werk struts these guys wanted $1000 for for $400. Total cost to me was $400 including parts vs the $1000 the owner of Swedish Werks told me he would charge me to replace them. Save yourself the money with these guys. You can stay at a very nice hotel like I did and maybe save $500 like I did on my struts by not having these crooks work on your car. my experience calls into question the other repairs these guys did on my car The Swedish Werks owner told me he tells customers they can count on a $1000 bill if they bring their car to him. He is right. They can. I stayed a La Quinta Suites in Tucson for one night and left with brand new struts on my car and still saved $500 by not agreeing to have these guys do more of their thing on me. read more

I have a 2000 Volvo S70 and have gone to Swedish Auto Werks for over a year; I would not bring my car anywhere else. Steve is honest, trustworthy and has made my car run better than it ever has; his estimates, more often than not, have been a touch under the final cost; how amazing is that? Steve has gone above and beyond in terms of thoroughness, quality of workmanship, explaining in detail every issue and researching options that cost less money. I have finally realized, after years of using mechanics who do not specialize in Volvos, that it is essential to use one who is specifically certified to repair Volvos. On my first visit I happened to strike up a conversation with another customer who has owned her Volvo for 14 years and has been going to Swedish Autowerks for that entire period of time and would not go anywhere else. I cannot say enough good things about them. Finally, and this is just an added bonus, they have a deal with Enterprise car rentals where you can get a car for approx. $26/day; they will pick you up at the shop and return you to the shop when your vehicle is ready. read more

This is a highly specialized shop and a must for any Saab or Volvo owner. Steve is a top notch technician and a bit of a perfectionist, which I certainly appreciated. I highly recommend Swedish Auto Werks. read more

Such a great experience taking my car here!! My grandfather owns a Saab shop in Michigan, so I'm very hesitant on taking my 2008 9-3 anywhere else....but I was forced to find a location here after moving to Phoenix. Steve was awesome! He worked with my schedule and got me in an out with the repairs I needed very quickly. The waiting room was also very spacious and accommodating so I was able to finish all of my work while I waited! Thank you! read more

A terrific alternative to the dealership for those wishing to save some money! The initial estimate was accurate and helpful (what I paid out the door was actually less than was estimated!), the service was prompt, and the staff was very friendly and communicative. My car is running smoothly again! Steve kept me well-informed and was very helpful! I'll definitely be coming back to Swedish Auto Werks for any future servicing of my Volvo. read more

Needed a headlight connection for my Saab 2008 9-5 quickly (due to no drivers side low beam). An on line Saab shop wanted me to buy an entire wire headlight harness connection for the "simple" fix for $400 +. Steve, Jim and Ken not only had the replacement part but took me in promptly and did the job professionally and correctly. In addition, they placed car on rack and assisted me in finding another culprit of why my car was leaking a few drops of oil during the night. Definitely good to have knowledgeable Saab mechanics in the Phoenix area. It's extremely hard to find mechanics who will even look at or alone work on Saabs now a days. Swedish Auto Werks will definitely have my business if and when I need further work on my 9-5. Driving the 80+ miles was well worth the trip to find excellent Saab mechanics! Jim L. of Clarkdale, AZ read more

$150 blanket diagnostic fee. They only charged $75 bc they said they couldn't read my custom software. It's funny bc I then took my car to a shop in the barrio. They read the generic codes on a simple OBDII reader (not a custom dealer level reader) and successfully diagnosed the issue (no charge), and fixed my car for less in labor than the Swedish place charges for a diagnostic fee. It's funny bc it was a Friday and they probably just wanted a quick buck and to get it off their hands. Saabs aren't really that hard to work on and don't require dealer level scan tools- just a competent mechanic. read more

I've been going to Steve and company for 2 years now. I was turned off by the Volvo dealership one too many times. Steve and his team have been thoughtful, thorough and great value. For the person who says that they're unethical, I strongly disagree as well as there is not a new owner. He's been there for years and his business is booming. So there must be a reason why - it must be their great service. read more

I owned a Saab for a short period until I was in an accident. The first time visited the shop I spoke with Dave and he installed the Progressive Snapshot device because I couldn't figure it out. The second time I ended up having my car towed there because I locked myself out using the key to lock the car instead of the key fob and I turned it the wrong way or something. The third time I dealt with Dave was when I was in an accident and he sent a tow driver to pick up my car and didn't charge me the $100 from the SW side of Phoenix becuase he said I could tack it on to the bill for the insurance company. The other woman's insurance company decided to fight me on the charges because they found her not at fault even though it was her fault. My car sat in Swedish Auto Werk's parking lot for like 6 months and they didn't charge me a storage fee! Dave is awesome and I will continue going to him even though I now own a Japanese car. read more

Ok, so I'm a woman that knows nothing about cars, and all I know is my saab is cute. So my darling saab waswas having problems with various things. I had a suspicion that my old mechanic was messing my car up because I would give him money to fix it one week, the next week something else would break. I was out of money and crying, when I decided to take my saab to swedish auto werks. Steve and Willie made me feel so much more confident about my car and what needed to be fixed. He showed me where the previous mechanic may have messed up my car, could have been an innocent mistake, but not sure. He spent time with my mom and I (she has a saab) and the cost was more than fair! I was apprehensive to take my car to a saab specialist in fear of the hourly labor cost, but they were reasonable! What a class act place. they saved me money in the end. I feel like I have a true advocate for myself and my car. Thanks guys! read more

First time in. Went to Swedish Auto Werks for an unknown problem with my 2008 SAAB. They ran the code and informed me of what it was. Steve was incredibly helpful in explaining what needed to happen and set me up an appointment for my next available time. Although it was a costly fix, they didn't try to nickel and dime me with fixes I didn't need. Car is running great and they even made some minor little fixes to some of the exterior plastics for me. Will definitely be giving all of my business to Swedish Auto Werks in the future. read more

I have had a problem with my Volvo for years with the check engine light. No one could fix it. I had been to the dealer, and many local shops to fix this problem until I came here. The owner was very friendly and knew alot about my car. They gave me a ride home as it would take some time to properly find out what was causing the check engine light. A couple hours later he called me and told me it was all fixed. I asked what it was and it was just a stupid hose that was cracked. They fixed the hose and now no more light on!!! If you have a Volvo you NEED to bring it to these guys. They are outstanding!! read more
