Got stuck near Santa Barbara driving to SF from LA after Thanksgiving. One of the injector coils blew out and the check engine light came on. Not many people service Volvos around these parts, but Dave is one of them! I called and left a message (he was out of office for the Thanksgiving holiday), and Dave called us first thing in the morning. He was able to get the car in right away for a quick fix. He was very quick, efficient, and straightforward with our problem. Also thought he had found a solution for a squeaking sound from the car that had been going on for a while, but when he replaced the engine pulley bearing that he thought was causing the problem and the squeaking didn’t completely go away, he refunded the service fee. He was able to fix the problem with our injector coil completely and fix the car back to safe driving condition in a couple of hours. Ultimately found him to be straightforward, honest, responsive, and professional. Highly recommend him.

Dave was able to see me immediately after having a problem with my vehicle, found the problem and fixed it in record time, all for a very reasonable price. A knowledgeable and proficient mechanic who I will definitely visit in the future if I have any more car troubles. Thanks a ton, Dave!

My son somehow managed to lodge a rock in the door and it would not close. I was so stressed about getting it fixed and literally drove over with the door tied up with rope worried I would have to have it taken apart or rebuilt. Dave was able to get the latch reset and working in less than five minutes. He was so incredibly kind about the whole thing and I really appreciated his taking the time to fix my issue.
My neighbor has been going to Dave Scholl for years and told me great things, so I will definitely be scheduling my service here. It's so great to have a local Volvo expert in town!

Dave saved my bacon. Day before Thanksgiving trip he gave my Volvo his personal attention and performed an innovative fix to a stuck gas cap door. Thanks Dave!
