1987 240 owner. Tried 3 places (including one "Volvo expert") to fix a dangerous stalling issue. Another 240 owner in the neighborhood referred us to Art. We had the car towed over an hour to get it to him and I'm so glad we did. He clearly knows what he's doing. The car hasn't run this well in years. We'll be making the drive back to Art before going to a local shop.

Art is an institution up and down the Eastern seaboard. I've heard about him as far north as Portland, and down in D.C. And from UberLyft drivers. At 68 years old (at the time of this review) he is the most senior guy for your legacy Volvo, Saab or Mercedes. Full Stop. If you have one in your garage, Art's is the only place to take it. HOW LONG WILL THIS VOLVO LAST? I asked him recently, "Art, how long (how many miles) should I expect this thing to last?" He looks at me puzzled. "Mike. Do you not know what you've got?! You're driving a Volvo! It will last FOREVER! I'm 200k miles in, and under Art's careful eye, it'll probably last me another 25 years if I want. (Mine was the last year it was Swedish, before the Americans and now the Chinese messed with it.) MERCEDES... I recently saw a vintage R107 Mercedes out front, and asked him about it. "What's that thing out front?" Turns out he cut his teeth on those 70s and 80s classics including the R107. "Don't pay more than 5k for it, Mike. They're a dime a dozen. With 425,000 of them made you're gonna find one that suits you." But, he says, when Mercedes started with their computers, he turned to other brands. Art is my favorite guy to talk to about my Volvo. And *** I TRUST WHAT HE SAYS ***. If he says it needs to be done, I get out my checkbook.

Art knows what he is talking about. He can probably fix your Volvo properly with his eyes closed. Stop getting the rip off runaround at the Volvo dealer, they don't want to work on your "older" Volvo- Art does! Reasonable prices, competent, knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Friendly and honest mechanic with fair pricing. Came here to get my brake pads changed and art did it for less than half what the dealer quoted.

Just went to Art's who has kept my 2001 C70 alive and with 230,000 miles! The best mechanic ever - highly recommended.

Art is a genius when it comes to repairing Volvos. He's worked on my 1991 and 1993 sedans for 10 years. Art only fixes what needs fixing. So, for example, he'll replace only the worn brake instead of all of them as most shops would do. Art also works on Saabs and other foreign cars. He's the smartest, most honest mechanic you'll ever meet!

Art's garage is itself a piece of art. Very cool place with a friendly atmosphere and great jazz music playing whenever it's open. Art is a very good mechanic who is incredibly understanding, thoughtful, and accommodating. Been going there for many years and see no reason to stop now.
