West Seattle Auto Repair

I've had my Mini Cooper here 3 times in the past 3 years and each time the recommended work was explained to me in clear terms I could understand. For some services, they offered 2 or 3 options and explained the difference in the work and probably outcome for each option. They are responsive and communicate promptly when the tech gets inside and finds out what's going on with the car. And they do more than just engine work. The glove compartment door on my Mini wouldn't stay shut. Online forums said this was a common issue with my model and recommended installing a completely new compartment. Other automotive shops said they didn't do that type of work. Swedish Automotive fixed it inexpensively without taking the whole dashboard apart. I get a loaner car for $25 for as long as my car is in their shop. Love this place!

These guys do a great job with our Subaru Forester! A little more costly than other places but I trust them to not rip us off. Plus the hand wash the exterior and vacuum the interior. That's worth it's weight in gold as I hardly ever find time to do that myself. Thanks guys!

Todd and crew have taken care of our Volvo,Saab and now Subaru for quite a while and the service has always been excellent, prompt and courteous. From major to minor repairs they have always kept us informed of the progress and forthcoming about cost and options. Jan loves that they wash and vacuum the cars with each visit. We can recommend Swedish Automotive unconditionally. Way to go guys.

This was my wife's 1st time engaging with your shop. She came home with nothing but positive things to say about her experience. Loved how clean her car was when she picked it up.

These guys were great! They explained what was going on clearly, kept me updated, and informed me of pricing before doing any work. Plus, they cleaned my car :)

Always a great experience -- everyone is so friendly and service is quick and efficient.

Car needed a 90k tuneup original quote 850. An additional number of repairs which was expected, total work was 1999, while driving home from the shop, the check engine light turned on, (unrelated to repairs) new oxygen sensor is going to run another 1000. Very friendly service

I fully trust all of the staff at Swedish Automotive! I came in with a hard to diagnose idling issue. Dave and his team were very professional and detailed in their work. There were no surprises and Dave carefully went over every detail to help me understand exactly what happened to my car and how it was fixed. They even provided a rental car! They are terrific!

Loved it! These guys take great car of my Subaru. Local shop, trusted service & convenient.

This is the best kind of specialty service available. I have a couple examples. First off to say that the service is very accommodating and very unrushed. They seem to be very well staffed and there is plenty of time to be clear about what you want to talk about. Very friendly and professional. For example, I came in for wiper blades and ended up having my wipers adjusted with a special tool to optimize the angle. Parts and service protocols are to the highest level, always using the best parts. For example, I called multiple other Volvo shops to see if they could use Volvo heater hoses. No shop except Swedish Automotive could order them - Swedish Automotive had them in stock. I have a 1987 Volvo 240. These guys are experts. I was advised to adjust the valves - I didn't hear that from the last Volvo specialty shop I went to. I had it done the same day. Other shops were scheduling for weeks out. In particular, I found Dave Winters to be incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and thorough in meeting my needs, giving me much invaluable information about my car, and overall being easy and pleasantto deal with. The last way they were helpful for me was actually shipping that Volvo heater hose to me while I am on the road! I am naturally compelled to leave this review since the service has been nothing short of exceptional.
