Very happy Saab-er. Took my 2001 Viggen convertible in for a troublesome error light and DIC code that was preventing it passing smog. Carl and the team listened to me, probed for additional issues and problems, didn't (which is rare) treat me like an idiot re mechanical issues, and serviced exactly as requested down to including getting the smog done, and calling me when it passed. Will be back!

I had great experience here as well. Unfortunately, Nordic Motors has closed and is now referring customers to Bo JonssonIn San Mateo. Too bad, because I don't want the hassel of going to San Mateo.

We have been going to Carl since 2015. He is the only one we can really trust with our 2018 Volvo 1998. Every time I go for Smog test, the mechanics are so amazed at how good my car is still running.We got a 100 mile towing service so we can get the car towed to Redwood City if ever we run into problems. We haven't so far had to do that.Carl is also very easy to talk to, and he knows European cars inside and out.Services: Transmission

I wanted to share that recently I took my 2018 Subaru Outback to Nordic Motors for a Service. I highly recommend that one can feel confident that your car will receive a lot of attention to detail. First off, I read that this mechanic had very good reviews on NextDoor in regard to working on Subarus and Volvos. Carl, the owner, was very genuine & polite which I happen to find very refreshing these days! These are the items they inspected & took care of regarding my car's Service. Completed the Synthetic Oil change, filled washer fluid. The Fuel Injector was cleaned and the Cabin Filter was replaced. Carl notified me that my Outback needed a new set of rear brake pads but that the front brakes were fine. Nordic Motors also inspected Rotors, Calipers & Brake lines. The car was also taken for a Test Drive! I am confident that my Subaru with 47K miles is well cared for & will continue to be from here forward as I will definitely return to Nordic Motors Inc.

Took my wife's C30 here a couple months back. We got regular maintenance done. Price was reasonable and Nordic did not try to upsell or add unneeded work like the dealership has always tried with us. Very straightforward and quick service. We will come back!

Extraordinary service. Carl and team will help in any emergency and keep your vehicle in proper service for very reasonable prices. I have been going there for almost 20 years. My last Volvo lasted until 250k miles!

This place was recommended to me years ago, and I took my Volvo there. They were great. Thorough, honest, fair, kind. I moved to San Jose and it was a bit far to go, so I went to a Volvo specialist in Campbell. I didn't find them to be as competent and thorough, though very nice and good customer service. It turns out that Nordic Motors is just a 10 min walk to the Cal-Train station, so it made it easy for me to get close to home. I was happy to return to them recently for service, and repairs to A/C and brakes. Still thorough, honest, fair and a pleasure to work with.

This is probably the best car mechanic I've ever found. The proprietor (Carl) is not only a really nice guy, but he seems like a truly honest person: rather than finding ways to over-charge (like some less-scrupulous mechanics do), he finds ways to *save* me money. Being on a budget, I REALLY appreciate that! They have extensive experience working on European cars, which is great for me as I drive a BMW Z-3. The service is always fast and the work is high quality...honestly, I can't think of a single negative about Nordic Motors. It just gets an A+ grade all across the board. Thanks Carl!

Carl is the best. He has not only serviced our Volvo but when we were far away on a trip, he was even able to remotely diagnose an issue that brought us home safely. He then did the more permanent repair. The work is always excellent and prompt. They always deliver on their promise.

I've been using Nordic (Carl!) for years. We've had a series of Volvos, and he's always been polite, professional, and *very* detailed in explaining work that needs to be done, its importance, cost, etc. All work has *always* been done properly. And, he's also pointed-out potential issues (e.g. brakes getting worn) in advance. 5-stars :)

Carl rocks! A dealer wanted to charge me nearly $3K to replace all the fuel injectors. Carl decided this repair wasn't correct and instead replaced my spark plugs, which indeed resolved my "check engine" light, all for just a few hundred dollars. He kept the car a few days to make sure the "check engine" light wouldn't return. Quality and honesty -- Nordic motors is my default Volvo mechanic now!

I'm very happy I found Carl and Nordic Motors a few years ago! I had been going to another Saab mechanic in the area, where I always felt like I had to be on my guard against last minute additions and upcharges. Carl is the opposite. He is very knowledgeable about Saabs and a really nice polite man. I trust him completely. He tells me exactly what needs to be fixed and what I don't need to worry about yet. There's no surprises.

I have been coming here for a while and never get let down. Always fast, efficient, and affordable. I will continue to give my business to this place for all my automotive needs. Thanks again! Blessed!
