What clients say about Swedish Motors in West New Boston (MA)

I brought my 2003 volvo S40 in after bringing it to 3 mechanic shops that told me they couldn't find the issue. Each shop i brought it to took weeks and none of them could diagnose my no start issue. Swedish motors had my car for a couple of days and it was fixed! FOR A FAIR PRICE!

I recently purchased a Saab 9-3 from an existing customer of Hunt's. Despite the fact I didn't even own the car yet, Hunt answered all my questions and was completely honest with the state of the car and the cost of repairs. As the name suggests, Swedish Motors are Saab (and Volvo) specialists and are ultimately more familiar with these cars than any mechanic in town. Plus great customer service? It's a no brainer. Update 2026: I still go here with my WRX, even with the Saab in the junkyard. A trustworthy mechanic is worth a million bucks.

Excellent, fairly priced, speedy service. My 2007 Volvo had a warning light come on related to the ABS and Swedish motors was able to fit me in same week and the car was finished just a few hours after being dropped off. Not only was service speedy, when I wasn’t able to pick my car up right away due to a scheduling conflict, they kindly waited for me over an hour past closing time. Very kind, considerate, and transparent business owners. Will definitely come back if I’m in need of a fix again!

Not only did the mechanic take my car home overnight, he left the gas on empty. This happened a few years ago. Hopefully they have gained some integrity since then.

These guys are the best! Thank you Hunt for taking care of electrical issue v60 was having. Hunt and his team are professional, courteous and skilled, so lucky to have found them

Hunt is the best guy you'll have work on your car of all time. Very subtle sense of humor and gives it to you straight/finds creative solutions to complex car problems at a great price. He's worked on our cars for half a decade so far and we wouldn't go to any other mechanic as long as he's operating.

Best garage for all cars, not just Swedish. Armen is super knowledgeable and super practical.

These guys are amazing! If you own a Saab, you know the struggle — it’s hard enough to find a good mechanic, but all three of them here are excellent. I often stop by to ask questions or order parts I can’t find anywhere else, and they’re always incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I can’t thank these guys enough for everything they’ve done. You won’t be disappointed bringing your Saab here!

Thanks to the team at Swedish motors for helping us out! After having our power steering lines replaced, we were faced with mystery sensor issues. They were super quick to respond, got the car back in the shop and had us ready within the day. He texted to make sure we were okay a few days later. Excellent customer service all around, would recommend it to anyone. Thanks to Armen for doing the labour.

Hunt is the best! I only wish I lived close to his shop so he could take care of my Volvo on the regular. My family and I were visiting Boston and I felt some issues in our XC60 acceleration. Before driving the 10hours home I needed a professional to let me know what was wrong. I stopped by his shop and he kept the car for a couple days. Took it out on the highway and… he told me with confidence that nothing is wrong! He could have made up some BS but Hunt is a straight up guy and sent me on my way without a repair. If ever I need a Volvo service in Boston again I know where I’m going!

Hunt and Armen are amazing to work with! This will be the shop I go to for all future needs on my Volvo. The Boston Volvo Dealership messed up installing my brakes and then couldn't seem to figure out why they were rattling. I took my car to Swedish Motors, Hunt and Armen immediately put it on the lift, found the issues and quickly fixed them. They're an honest, trustworthy and very competent auto shop. I care about my car very much and I knew that my car was in good hands there. I also had them do multiple other things for my car and they throughly checked everything over. I highly recommend them and couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Recently had my Saab Aero 93 serviced at for the first time. Armen and Hunt are professionals, told me exactly what needed to be done and charged a fair price. I will definitely bring my other car (Volvo) to Swedish Motors.

Hunt and his team are the best. Awhile back I was sent with my Volvo by the Goodyear down the street, and he saved me hundreds of dollars by telling me certain repairs were unnecessary. Recently I needed a minor part installed, and was charged far less than I expected. Very easy to schedule my appointment and figure out what was necessary over the phone- Hunt is just a really friendly, honest guy who does great work.

I have a 2011 Volvo and they seem as if they built the car, amazing expertise. Fair prices and super nice guys. Is behind the building that is show on the map, on the back alley. East to reach by T

Hands down the best car repair shop I've ever encountered during my long history of owning old cars. I have done all my 2007 Volvo repairs here for the past 5 years, and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Unbeatable combination of knowledge, expertise, honesty and reliability on the part of Hunt, Armen et al. This is truly a gem of a place.

Hunt and the gang are always on their game. I say “the gang” because I’ve never met the owner or any of the technicians seeing as they are so organized and efficient (and probably hard at work fixing our cars) that Hunt is the only one they need interacting with customers. Plus he maintains an excellent balance between being customer friendly while also possessing the technical knowledge to convey any issues the technicians are working on. I’m a guy who likes to not only know exactly what the problem is but also what is entailed in resolving said problem and I’ve never come away from there wishing that I could just speak to the tech who actually worked on my car. And I think it’s bc Hunt has that blend of back-of-house technical know-how with front-of-house customer service. To borrow a restaurant analogy. I feel lucky I found these guys.

THANK YOU ARMEN!!! Came in on a Friday afternoon, Armen put my car right up on the lift, found the problems wrong with my car and proceeded with ordering the parts. They arrived within 30 minutes and the work was done within 2 hours of me dropping the car off. Very knowledgeable and professional. Many shops wouldn’t help me and these guys did. Looking forward to making this my go to shop for all future repairs needed for all of my cars. My car is a Ford, they specialize in all makes and models so don’t be shy to have them work on it you won’t be disappointed !!!! Happy New Year guys !

Hunt and the team at Swedish Motors are excellent! They have helped me tremendously with my geriatric Saab convertible over the years. Diagnostics, parts sourcing, and even new keys! They also have excellent knowledge with Volvo (and general auto mechanic skills). Tight space physically in the alley, but they use the local neighborhood parking well for drop/pick-up

Swedish Motors has serviced my 2008 Volvo S60 since I acquired it in early 2019. For the past five years, I have followed their service and repair recommendations and have been rewarded by a 16 year old car that runs beautifully and reliably today and, I expect, for many years to come. Swedish Motors takes pride in their work and every job — no matter how small or large — is performed promptly and professionally. Every time I bring my car in for service, they thoroughly inspect it and this attention to detail has ensured that I avoid unexpected problems. I am glad I entrusted the care of my Volvo to Swedish Motors and, without reservation, recommend them to owners of Volvos, Saabs, or, indeed, any luxury car.

Armen, the owner has sold and repaired my cars for over a decade. He is the best in the business, good natured, honest and an expert in all things automotive!

Swedish motors and Armen are the best Volvo and Saab mechanics in Boston by far (I actually had them work on a couple Toyotas over the years as well and they did great work). They are honest, reliable and will never suggest repairs that aren't necessary. I have been taking my 2007 xc70 to them for many years and my Saab before that. The cars have always run perfectly and for a very long time!

I simply can’t say enough about this company. the service and knowledge at Swedish Motors is what sets them apart from other shops. I don’t even have Swedish cars! Armen and his Team have been servicing my Mini Cooper and Mercedes C300 since their warranties expired a decade ago. Thanks to them, both cars are running like new still. They are honest - let you know what needs to get done and what isn’t absolutely necessary. Very very reasonably priced, knowledgeable, service oriented to the nth degree, and super fast.....Just a joy to do business with. I highly recommend Swedish Motors to anyone looking for superior service and expertise.

AWESOME!!! Armen is a master mechanic and troubleshoots my Volvo with ease. No need to return to the shop to have them fix what you brought it in for originally. I can’t speak highly enough about Chris & Hunt who work there also. This group is very accommodating & understanding. They are aware that I can choose to have my car serviced anywhere & I am treated like I am their only customer. I challenge you to give them a try.

Armen is simply the most experienced and honest mechanic I have ever had service my cars. For the 20 years I have known Armen, he has always kept my Saab 900 Turbo, Saab 9-5, Mercedes ML320, and my BMW X-3 running perfectly. My newest car, a 2015 BMW 428-xi is now in his reliable hands. His knowledge, fair prices and helpful manner takes all the stress and guesswork out of car repairs. I have recommended him to all my friends, who have recommended him to their friends. That says it all. He is the best! Richard Flanagan -Jamaica Plain

I can’t say enough about these guys! So lucky I found them. I had a catastrophic engine failure and their price and professionalism transformed a horrible experience into a pleasant experience. Hunt and Armin know their stuff and we’re very helpful finding the best priced replacement engine and installing it for a totally fair labor cost. I will bring my Volvo to them anytime it needs service and can not recommend Swedish Motors highly enough.

Armen and Hunt provide excellent service. They are trust-worthy, honest and go above and beyond. I have been taking my 96' Volvo to them for a few years and have always been impressed with the quality of their work, and their prices are unmatchable! One time I needed my windshield fluid compartment fixed to pass inspection and they fixed it but also went out of their way to take my car to an inspection place! They are friendly and are sure to get your car in right away! Highly recommend.

I have had my Saab 9-3 Viggen for over a decade, and always struggled to find a mechanic I trust. A friend recommended Swedish Motors recently, and I wish it happened 10 years ago. After my first visit, I knew I trusted these guys, the personalities and knowledge was perfect. After a number of visits, I am writing a review because they have really proved it. They have taken care of me and my car with the attention and kind of customer treatment you dream of. TOP NOTCH. Customer for life.

Swedish motors is reliable, honest, efficient and fairly priced. Armen is knowledgeable and gives great advice. I serviced my former aging Volvo with them and they kept it going....when I traded it in for a newer one, I have opted to stay with Swedish Motors for oil changes and servicing rather than go to the dealer. Swedish Motors was recommended to me by a friend and I have since recommended them to other friends.
