A wonderful, family-run, independent repair shop for Volvo and Saab. Very knowledgeable, and honest. We have used there services for almost 25 years. And always follow their recommendations. Our current Volvo is 15 years and it has been meticulously maintained by Raymond the entire time.
Always good under the HOOD thanks to Ben & Regina…Seriously NOT another Saab story…here. We will drive and restore our Saab’s forever…but this crew is absolutely critical and the best…would even consider owning a Subaru or Volvo simply because of the T.Scandia crew. I bring them our “Saabs” all the way from Hood River when they need some sort of service, and they make dropping off and after hour pick ups work. Simply the best.
Raymond does a great job. The work was performed timely and at a great value. And Regina in the office is terrific to work with. I highly recommend them.
T Scandia is my forever go-to for anything related to my Volvo, from oil changes to regular service/maintenance. They keep my car running great. I’ve been a customer for going on 20 years-they are always trustworthy, always reliable, and always professional.
I always say, finding a good honest mechanic is like finding a hair dresser you trust. This is a family run business, and they are awesome. Very professional and personal service. Cant recommend them enough.
I have been using T Scandia Motors for years. I bought my used 98 V70 with only a low 80k miles on it and now it has 386k and running well as my daily driver. The cabin fan wore out and he replaced it though this was simple for this shop, they can solve the most complex problems.
Always a great experience when I take my Volvo to T Scandia. Friendly, efficient and experts on Volvos.
If you have a Volvo don’t hesitate and bring your car to this shop. This shop has been nothing but amazing in everything aspect that you would expect from a mechanic shop and every time I go in my older Volvos feel 100% better. They are always on time and extremely reasonable with what they charge and only work on what needs done, NO SURPRISES. Thank you guys again for your honesty and workmanship! These guys are the BEST, let them work their magic on your ride, you won’t regret it!
Regina and her whole team are amazing! She looks at her caller ID and greets you by your name when you call her and shes also very knowledgeable about every aspect of Saab/Volvo. T-Scandia is *priceless* peace-of-mind when youre keeping a 25 yr old Saab running. Their *perfect* google rating is 1000% real and thoroughly earned. Love. Love. Love these people.
T. Scandia diagnosed and fixed a sensor issue at minimal cost. DEQtoo availability was a plus, saved me a trip to the DEQ!
Very good service and prices are competitive and often lower than dealership
These guys have been in business forever in Tigard. Good, solid, honest work and fair prices for repair/maintenance work on Subarus, Saabs, Volvos and even the rare Saabarus (9-2x models). They tell it like it is and have many customers for life. They have a picture at the front desk with them sitting on the hood of a then new Volvo 122 as very little kids...
Repairs are accurate and complete. Staff takes the time to fully explain and answer questions about needed repairs. They noticed that tags had expired, new ones were in glove box, we forgot to put them on the palates. When we picked up the car, the staff had put the tags on for us. They take care and watch out for the welfare of their customers.
I have been here twice and both times was extremely pleased with the service. The staff and the mechanic really took the time to listen to me and my concerns, and explained things fully in regards to services and repairs. One time, they even got me in same-day on my lunch break. It was amazing! I will definitely be going here again, and definitely recommend this shop!
I have been taking my Saab to T Scandia got about 4 years now. I love it. It is small owner operated with genius mechanics who know unique European cars and the way they work. I get my oil changed regularly and get a heads up if I am looking at anything down the road. It is great to have a mechanic I trust
I can always rely on this company. The owners are very transparent and knowledgeable. My recent repair/replacement was serpentine belt, tensioner and idler pulleys. The worn out parts have been shown to me, to feel and understand their defectiveness that caused the noise of the engine.Thank you again for your service!A satisfied customer.
Raymond is the only caropractor my car will see. He is the best! And Regina at the front desk is always so helpful and a real friend. Lucy (the dog) is always fun to see too, as she is always decked out in the latest fashions.
Despite being understaffed due to summer vacations & post covid labor conditions, they got right on it, did a fine job & were within the cost parameters. Couldn’t ask for more! Excellent service thru many years with multiple vehicles.
Once again superb service on a very unique and specialized issue with a very old car. Thank you again.Very friendly and helpful staff. Patient in explaining how things work. Fixes seemed legitimate and well priced.
If you have a Saab this is the only place to go for service. Scandia is fare and very knowledgeable about the car’s. Great to work with.
I don’t even know where to begin! I was able to bring my ‘96 850 wagon in on short notice for a diagnostic and it was ready in one day! I’d called a few other shops and was really unimpressed with how I was treated over the phone (one even told me what was wrong without even looking at the car, how much it would cost, and that it didn’t affect drivability… well that was definitely not the issue.) I will definitely be coming back for everything my little old wagon needs!
T Scandia Motors is THE BEST auto repair shop I have ever been to. We have taken our Volvos here for years because they are very honest and affordable. Raymond is amazing and always explains technical details clearly. They help you figure out what needs to be done reasonably and affordably. You will never feel cheated or taken advantage of like at most auto shops. JUST THE BEST PLACE EVER, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Just another quality job. I take all of my Volvos there because it is the only car that I will buy. Youll be very pleased with the work, the professionalism, the communication and the friendliness.
I have always received wonderful service from T Scandia Motors and trust them with my Saab .
Well worth the 1+ hour drive from the Columbia River Gorge to Portland to know the transmission flush on my XC 90 was done right. Car runs great!Will entrust Raymond with my mint 1994 940 Turbo Wagon when it needs maintenance.
They provided a very clear explanation of the problems that needed to be corrected. They finished the repairs before the time we agreed upon. They were helpful in explaining other recommended but not required repairs. A great experience overall.
I am a new patron of T Scandia Motors as of January 2021, and so far I am very happy with their service and mechanical work. All of the staff are friendly and helpful, and the mechanic completed a fix to my brake lights in a short time. This was very essential work and they completed it in one visit. I will be using their services when needed in the future.
Efficient and knowledgeable in the care of cars and clients. They are extremely good at communicating with you what they plan to do and what those expenses will most likely be. I highly recommend this business!
For nearly 30 years, T-Scandia has been our only repair shop. In fact, when we have needed new cars, one of the reasons we bought Volvos is because we know that Raymond and the T-Scandia crew will be there to keep it all good under the hood.
We’ve used the services @ T. Scandia Motors for more than 25 years. From minor needs & repairs to major issues we’ve found them to be absolutely trustworthy & their work is beyond compare. Always good at checking in with us and keeping us apprised if any additional issues that may have come up. Great communication & a pleasure to work with. Couldn’t be happier with their work & highly recommend them!
Great place and GREAT people!
I used Skandia for the first time and was very impressed. Quick repair, quick diagnosis, and very affordable pricing, highly recommend
In the past month, T Scandia has replaced the drive belts in one trip and the head gasket/timingbelt/water pump on my 2007 Subaru Outback. The services were top notch and completed a very timely manner, I was super satisfied both times. I was dreading the common Subaru 120k mile services but I saved over $1250 dollars from the dealer quote, and I will for sure be returning to T Scandia to help keep my old workhorse running as long as possible!!
Thanks Regina for getting my car back on the road again.Raymond did a great job. Thanks for the price consideration.Vivian McCormick
I have used T Scandia before when I owned a Saab. This time my engine light was on and we couldn’t find the problem. The mechanic was very thorough and kept looking until he found the problem. Unfortunately, it was so significant that we decided it was not worth repairing.
We have used TScandia to maintain our Volvo for over 10 years. Raymond is always willing to explain what needs to be done and isnt pushy about anything extra. He is honest and trustworthy. This is a small family run business worth supporting. I highly recommend them.
Such as great experience every time I take my car in. Very honest business practices and fair pricing. Work is excellent and conscientious. Owners are wonderful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Super easy and smooth process. Always happy with the results, no matter if its something easy or I bring in a challenge.
The service has been consistently great, and the people are honest, dependable and friendly. Been going here for years!!
T Scandia takes care of our newer Volvo and our 1998 Subaru. Raymond is a knowledgeable, professional mechanic who clearly explains what service/repair the car needs and why. A car repair shop you can trust.
I have been bringing my Volvo cars to them for over 20 years. There is no other place I would trust my Volvos to.
Great place. Friendly and very efficient
We have patronized this business for many years after a friend in our church recommended them to us. We have always been satisfied with the services that they have rendered.
Always great service! Very nice, helpful, and informative!
They always get done one time and at what time they state
Very honest and competent. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Service is excellent.
Truly an excellent repair shop. They really care about what they do — and it shows. Highly recommended.
T Scandia was thorough & they were nice. Their invoice included pictures of the work that they did. They also caught things beyond the scope of what I asked them to do but, of course, they didnt do anything new without consulting us.
T Scandia Motors is a great family business: theyve been working on SAABs (and Volvos, and more recently Subarus) for decades. If you want friendly, thorough, extremely knowledgeable and skilled service, this is the place. I trust them completely with my SAAB. Truly wonderful in this day and age to find a business that is customer-centric. Old fashioned values with the latest technologies -- the perfect blend for a top-shelf experience! Tell them Tami sent you!
The folks at T Scandia are great! I was in line at DEQ when my check engine light came on. I went to directly T Scandia without an appointment and they fit me in for a quick check. Raymond reset the indicator light and explained some of the most likely possibilities. I made an appointment for the next week for the repair, after which Raymond explained the cause and repaired it. No hassles! Ill be continuing my Volvo maintenance and repairs with T Scandia.
Raymond at T Scandia Motors is the best Volvo repair person in the Portland area. I have used the shop for every Volvo from the 1800e through the R cars of the 90’s to the Cross Country models and each repair was done accurately, with no call backs or problems when my cars were returned.Take your Volvo here for expert diagnosis and repair!!
T. Scandia fixed a leak in my power steering system. Awesome shop!
Excellent diagnostic and service. Always receive a detailed explanation of repairs necessary in keeping my car performing well and safe when driving.
Theres nothing like having a mechanic you can trust. I feel so fortunate to have been referred to T Scandia more than twelve years ago; I wouldnt think of taking my Volvo or Subaru anywhere else. Raymond, in particular, is one in a million. He knows EVERYTHING about Volvos, and he really cares. When my daughter turned 16, he wanted her to tag along for our service appointment so he could run her through some important safety and maintenance-related tips and information. WHO DOES THAT? He explains everything clearly, and he gives you all of your options and his recommendation -- which is definitely NOT always the one thats going to make them the most money. These are just two examples of why you should look no further if you are driving a car make that T Scandia services.
This is exactly the type of location that I was looking for. Smart honest hard-working family owned business
T Scandia always takes great care of our Volvos. Very professional and good value.
Excellent people and service!
Professional and reasonably priced!
Your shop continues to keep my Daughters 20 year old Subaru Outback working great. I would never think about taking her car anywhere else!!
They diagnosed & remediated a coolant leak problem. Very professional & very nice.
The friendly staff at T-Scandia continue to be a great partner in maintaing our autos for the past 5 + years. They help to keep our Saab fine tuned, safe and of course, fun to drive. Highly reccommend them for Volvo service as well. We trust their assesments of our vehicles along with the price. Good Value for Exceptional Service.
Always so knowledgeable about what works and what doesnt over the long-term regarding Volvo.
Ben is determined to make sure that he is solving the actual problem Im having with my car, not like some shops that just try this and that until they stumble upon the actual problem. I trust him and have for a decade.
Best mechanics around!
Very friendly and reputable business. We were pleased with the repair work and the pricing.
T. Scandia does great work. There is almost never a problem, and when there is, they are right on top of fixing it. They are always happy to help.One of the best things about T. Scandia is that they are honest and trustworthy. I never have to worry about whether to believe what they tell me about my car.The family that runs the business is from Thailand, and there is a very cool picture of them when they were children, sitting on the hood of an old Volvo somewhere in Thailand.I have been taking my cars to them for around 30 years. I wouldnt even consider going anywhere else.
The folks at T. Scandia have taken great care of our Volvo for the past 30 years! They get us in quickly, and are always honest about what needs to be done. They do great work at a fair price. If you are looking for an honest and trustworthy shop to service your car, look no further!
I have been taking my SAABs to T Scandia for nearly 30 years, starting with my 1985 900 and since 2001 my 9-3. They have always provided great care, keeping track of what they notice at each visit that should be seen to soon or eventually. They always try to control the cost of repairs without compromising quality. I feel like I can always trust them to do the right thing for my SAAB and for me. Last week Ben cleaned out all the drains to fix a problem with water getting into the car, and changed the cabin air filter -- so far so good.
I have a 2004 Saab 9-5 Aero that they take incredible care of. Had since new and they really understand the idiosyncrasies of this car. They are cost effective, on time and most importantly, repairs get done right. Very professional!
T. Scandia Motors was able to do 1 day turnaround on my emergency brake job, and fixed my dead headlight for good measure. The service was quick and professional, and they provided clear communication during the process. Will definitely be back...(cuz Im kinda hard on my car.)
The team at T Scandia from top to bottom are super customer service centered. My first trip with my Volvo a number of years ago saved me over 5k by having them give me a second opinion that I had from my dealership (that I used to frequent). Turned out to be a $50.00 fix. Excellent communication, very fair pricing and high quality repairs. Even going out of their way to spell out upcoming issues that will prevent more expensive repairs down the line. Family run business is the only way to go, thank you guys very much for being superior!
My cars favorite doctor. They take amazing care of us and keep us informed every step of the way as well as helping you plan for future possible issues.
This is the second time I took my Subaru into Scandia Motors. The first time was for a door that wouldnt lock and they fixed it very quickly. The second time I brought my car in was for regular maintenance - again the service and communication was wonderful. They only fixed what was needed and communicated why they didnt need to do the rest of the check list. It is so nice to find a place that communicates and fixes what is needed. I am happy to say I have found my new auto service shop. I feel comfortable that what they tell me is the truth and another big plus is they listened to me. Glad I found them!!
I have only good things to say about T Scandia. When I was a kid my mom had her Volvo’s serviced by Raymond. Now as an adult I have had my Saab serviced by Ben and both brothers are great to work with. I always trust them to be fair and to preform the highest quality of work. I attended their car care workshop some time ago and learned a lot about taking preventative care of my Saab. Whenever I need an opinion I call T Scandia and whether I talk to Will and Karen at the front desk or Ben or Raymond when they have the time, I am always very happy with the quality of service I receive. It’s rare to find such a trustworthy, family owned mechanic anymore. Thank you T Scandia!!
Theyve been servicing my cars for over 25 years. Great, dependable, honest service.
I’ve been bringing my Volvo’s here for about 15 years now. I trust them wholeheartedly. What I appreciate most, is the detail they share on what was the issue with the car, and how they addressed it with the repair. If you own a Volvo, Saab, or Subaru, this is your place. Raymond, Karen, Regina, and William offer 5 Star service and their prices are more than fair. I recently purchased a ‘94 Saab that has been in their care for some time. I had no hesitation in buying because I know it received TLC. This is a high quality Volvo/Saab/Subaru repair and service outfit, but even better, is that is owned and operated by even higher quality of people.
T Scandia was very professional and also worked to be cost effective with an issue that might have been much more expensive.
The staff at T Scandia are honest trust worthy people. They dont try to get you to fix something that doesnt need to be fixed right away. They understand everyone has a budget.They always inform us what needs repaired and the cost.I was also had my headlight go out they were able to get me in and replace that for me right away.Great customer service. Very friendly! I highly recommend you take your Saab which is what we have or Volvo to this shop if you want you car fixed the right way with honest mechanics.
Fixed the problem, thoroughly explained, & were great to deal with.
I have had only positive experiences at T Scandia. They are very service oriented, not only taking care of my car but meeting my needs as well. They keep an eye on things and let me know what the upcoming service issues are. They only do what is needed when it is needed and dont try to get me to make repair that are not yet necessary. Im glad I found a company with integrity that is so close to my house.
Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to have their vehicle repaired. Bought a 2002 Saab 9-3 recently that needed a bit of work, and am very pleased with the outcome!Not only is my car running better than ever, but the employees were always friendly with great communication.
T Scandia is a one of a kind repair shop with heart. Ken, the mechanic, and his sister, Regina, took A+++ care of my 1992 Saab 900S for 15 years. The auto repair bay looks like a surgery room. It is clean and clear in a sterile and well organized way.The business end of things are just as well organized by Gina!I often drove 100 miles north to return to this repair shop and you, too, will find them caring, honest, affordable and helpful!
The honest, highly competent mechanic shop youve always hoped you would find. Everyone here goes above and beyond expectation with basically every interaction. Amazing!!!
Ray and the staff are incredibly responsive, and are not only experts in Volvo repair, but also in explaining the details in understandable language. They are proactive in planning service, and in ensuring that your auto lasts as long as you hope it does. Fantastic in all ways!
I have been taking my Saab here for years. The are upfront and honest and explain alternatives to you. Early on they made me a list of things they thought needed to be fixed and the urgency behind the list. We worked it over time to get the car in good shape. 1991 model and still running strong!
T Scandia has done an outstanding job on my Subaru Forester! The staff makes sure your vehicle is well taken care of and their prices are always more than fair. T Scandia is a shop you can trust, I definitely reccomend bringing your vehicle here if youre looking for five star service!
I was very impressed with T Scandia Motors for really being decent and honest about the work needing to be done on our older Volvo. They even did the urgent safety repairs immediately so that my teenage daughter could be safe on the road. William was very understanding and knowledgeable and Raymond who did the work on our beloved car is a Volvo Master or Volvo Whisperer who knows how to make these engines purr!
Reliable fast service. Fair prices and great staff. I’ve used them for more than 6 years and would recommend them to anyone needing work done on your Saab, Subaru or Volvo
William and everyone else at Scandia was very nice and friendly to us with our Subaru Outback. We took it in for a 60,000 mile maintenance. Dropping off and picking up after hours was very convenient. They did a good job with the maintenance and helped diagnose a stutter/stall issue with the torque converter. With that info, we were able to confirm an extended warranty offer Subaru has made with that particular issue. They even called us a few days after to see how things were and to follow up. Thanks again!
The staff at T Scandia are very knowledgeable about Saab which is hard to find. I am always satisfied with the work that they do on my vehicles!
Where I have my Volvo serviced. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I always feel like they are looking out for my best interests... even recommending other repair shops when the other shop could do a specialty job at less cost. Amazing!
Took a little time to get aligned with them, but once you do the service is very good. Very down to earth, friendly, mom and pop feel to the business. Will works the phones/email and does a good job. Overall experience is great and will continue to use them in the future.
T Scandia is a family business that has serviced my cars for over 30 years. First a Volvo then a Subaru. Their work has been consistently excellent. They explain what needs to be done, what it will cost and answer all my questions. They are honest, thoughtful and very goodpeople to know.
Great service and pricing! William has helped me many times and is always upfront and honest. I love this shop! I fully recommend using them.
I love this place. They helped fix my 2006 Saab so that I could continue to drive it within a short amount of time. I wish I had known about them sooner because it took three weeks for other places to tell me they didnt know how to fix my car and they were able to solve it. They are also always really helpful with any questions I have about my Saab because I dont know mich about cars. Absolutely a returning customer.
I love the Staff at T. Scandia Motors. I never stress out taking my older Volvo Station Wagon to Scandia Motors because I trust they will do the repairs I ask them to do and I can trust them when they suggest additional repairs. Their fees are reasonable and fair. I can recommend them with high confidence.
Raymond who works on the Volvo portion of T Scandia is the most meticulous and honest mechanic I’ve ever had. I have been taking my Volvos there since 1995. I just recently sold my Volvo because I needed something that would tow a trailer. The worst part of sale was the loss of an Awesome mechanic.
