This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
From the available recent reviews, R C Import Auto Recyclers in Chula Vista, CA scores 98/100. Sentiment is overwhelmingly positive: standout Volvo expertise, honest pricing, and courteous, transparent service. Parts are often on hand—including hard‑to‑find items—with fast turnarounds (some pickups in minutes). Repairs are fairly priced and well explained; staff even advise when new parts are wiser. Strengths: affordability, inventory depth for older Volvos, reliability. Common notes: tight access/industrial setting and occasional busyness that could mean waits. Little said about yard organization.
Top notch business. Needed 2 fenders for my 05 xc90. In hand in less than 15 min and the price was extremely affordable. When I asked if they wanted to buy the xc90 he said it was worth much more than what he would offer. That kind of honesty is hard to find these days.
Richard was super helpful, the road getting there is a little tight , but I would totally recommend these guys. if I needs parts or mechanical repairs on my volvo, I'm going here 1st.
First time here as a customer, I was a little bit relented. After I checked the reviews, I was more convinced I was in the right place. 5 Stars straight, that's a very impressive record. So hard to accomplish, I had never seen that before. My experience was a 5 stars too. Very honest, they left the old and damage parts on the side so that I could see what it was done. Very reasonable prices. I even got a rim cap cover for free. Whow! And nice and cold bottle of water. Are you kidding me? That's great service!
Found this place by accident. I normally go to a spot right down the street from them. I am pleased andhappy y that they had the part I needed at a reasonable price. I plan on taking my older volvo to them for repair work.
Richard and his team are excellent! They have hard to find parts for my 95 940 and are very honest about what repairs your car needs or doesn't need. Don't let the location turn you off, the work they do is excellent.
They repaired my volvo at a low price.
Mr. Richard is very reliable and honest, experienced, professional,transparent, and detail- oriented.
I strongly recommend RC Import Auto.
The guys here are amazing. I have a 1995 Volvo and I always call this place first when I need to replace a part. I trust the quality of what I get because I’ve actually been told, “I’d recommend you get this part new instead of from us.” They’d rather be honest with me and lose a sale than just sell me whatever I wanted that could potentially ruin my car! Thanks to them my Volvo still looks wonderful and runs smoothly because I’m able to get the parts I need without shelling out a million dollars.
Honest people that do good work and won’t sell you into something just for profit. That shop has been working specifically on Volvo’s for many years, and are the go to source for information on keeping the older Volvo’s running on a budget. Highly recommend RC Imports
The only place I trust to take my Volvo! Highly recommend if you are in need of Volvo parts or need work done. Richard and Chato are awesome! Wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Mr Chato and his son Richard are some of the nicest people I’ve ever known. They know Volvo cars inside out and have more customers than they can handle.
