Nearly 30 years service on 5 Volvos, no need to go anywhere else.
Volvo Master Mechanic Dave Scholl You will not find a more skilled, knowledgeable, fair and reasonably-priced Volvo master mechanic in Santa Barbara. I met Dave in 1988 at Oswald’s Volvo Repair, where he was the tall blond Scandivnavian towering over the other mechanics; I always asked and waited for him to be available to work on my first Volvo, a 240GL. Since then I have owned four more Volvos and still own three, a V70, S60 and C70 that he regularly services at his repair shop with the help of his wonderful wife, Terry. Dave may be terse and businesslike, while Terry is very approachable and friendly. When it was time to let an older Volvo go to a new owner, the first two sold immediately since they were in good shape and had all of Dave’s records confirming regular maintenance. The buyers were amazed that all components worked as a result of Dave’s attention to detail. I especially appreciate Dave’s detective skills in instances where extra effort is needed to identify the actual problem and fix it, without wasting time and money on unnecessary parts and work. Dave will only recommend fixing items in need of repair, following the truism, “If it isn’t broke, no need to fix it.” His estimates are accurate. He is honest, conscientious and consistently demonstrates refreshing integrity. There’s no need to go anywhere else to keep your Volvo in safe working condition.

Auto Repair and Maintenance
I have been taking my cars to Dave Scholl for almost 20 years - yikes, where does time go?!! He is by far the most honest, knowledgeable mechanic I have ever known. His "bedside manner" might be lacking, but if you want a person who has integrity and knows your Volvo inside and out, this is the shop for you. His wife, who manages the store, is one of the kindest, most fun people you will ever meet - certainly making up for Dave's stoic, reserved Norwegian personality! You can trust Dave and his staff to make your ride dependable and safe without breaking the bank. -Andrew
