Leyfax Co

We’ve now used them with my ’86 240 and my 2007 xc70. They helped with picking the model year on the second, giving advice on when to let go of the 240, and have taken great care of both thus far. As other reviews state sometimes it what they don’t do that counts. I’ve never been pushed or guilted into a repair. They’re thoughtful and logical about their process as well as quite helpful.

I recently bought a used, very used, 1989 Volvo 240 Wagon. The car had been through its paces, and then some. Still, they are worthy vehicles, durable and dependable, and a great judicious investment.
The previous owner had the car evaluated by a well-​known mechanic who gave repair estimates in many thousands of dollars. Something not working? Replace the whole engine. That sort of thing. I then took it to another well-​known mechanic, who came up with a bill of health that was also unrealistic. Mind you, I have owned several Volvos, since the ‘80s, and I bought this car knowing what lay head.
Leyfax — I found them through Unilocal — completely changed my opinion of mechanics, the profession, their ability, and their integrity. They are friendly, intelligent, frank, and honest. They are problem solvers, and they can solve problems because they understand these machines like no one else. They took my odd car, gave it a thorough assessment, laid out a work plan, and executed on time, with a degree of professionalism and a fair pricing structure that I have never before seen. Aside from that, chatting about cameras is a pleasure!
I would recommend Leyfax to any Volvo owner out there, hands down, and without reservations. I drove in with a car in serious need of TLC. I drove out with car that I know is dependable. Was it cheap? Of course it wasn’t cheap, but I knew that getting into this deal, in the first place. The end result is a highly dependable, practical car for a total investment that is laughably low. Oh, and they washed the engine! Great guys, great service, great prices.

We have been Leyfax customers since we bought our 1980 245 in 2012. They serviced the car before it was ours, which is great. The bills are always reasonable, and they don’t do unnecessary work. I just bought another car, and even though I ended up with a Toyota, I considered another Volvo simply because I know this awesome shop. Highly recommended!

We have been taking our volvos to Leyfax longer than I can remember– about 20 years. We love this shop, its owner Dave and the guys who work with him so much that we don’t want to own any other kind of car! They are the best– honest, very capable, and always friendly. You can’t go wrong with Leyfax.

Stumbled across this review and just had to write my own. My family’s owned Volvos as long as I can remember, and I got my ’96 850 repaired here for six years. Dave (owner) is SUPER knowledgeable, along with the two other guys who work with him. They always explain what they’re doing and what’s going on, never try to rip me off and always provide competitive prices. If a warning light goes on, they’ll check it out free of cost, advise you what to do, etc. They’re extremely quick on repairs, but unlike the larger dealers can’t offer temp cars or such. If you’re looking for a familiar, local and trustworthy repair shop for your Volvo look no further. I don’t live in Portland anymore so I don’t regularly get my service done here anymore, but when I have a problem I never hesitate to ring them up or bring it in for an oil change when I’m back visiting family.

I’ve been having my Volvo s40 serviced by Leyfax for the past 3 years. Service is excellent. Cost is much lower than the dealers, and they don’t try to rip you with unnecessary service. These guys are Volvo specialists and know what they are doing. I strongly recommend Leyfax to any Volvo owner.

I have been using Leyfax for over 12 years for my Volvos. They do not do unessessairy repairs. The parts they use are all first rate. (NGK spark plugs are not «generic»)
They clean the engine only when it is FILTHY and uncared for.
I have brought cars there and reccomended the3ir services to anyone in the various Volvo clubs I know. As far as I know, the only negartive review they have had is the one posted here.
I would trust any car that passed their used car testing.
They are Honest Honest Honest and stand behind their work That’s it!
