Bravo Motors Of Sacramento

I’ve been taking my car to Bravo Motors for years and have never been disappointed with the level of service that Dean and Dar provided. I had to take my Volvo in last week because it kept turning off. As usual, Dean got it fixed when he said he would and also fixed a few other minor things on the car. When I picked up my car, it had even been detailed! My car was waiting for me when I pulled in with the AC already on (it was a very hot day) Thanks Dar! and thanks again Dean! You guys are awesome!

I was told at the dealer I would need a new transmission, and at another transmission shop, they told me an overhaul would be needed. Both were very costly. I came across Bravo Motors on the Internet. The video showed a possible solution. I drove down from Magalia to have Dean work his magic! And now my Volvo S60 runs great. If you are considering a shop, talk to Dean.
Thanks!

I accidentally found the best Volvo mechanic after a terrible experience at Bill Pierce Volvo in Reno. BP had my car for (5) weeks, were unresponsive and charged over 3k (new tires, check up, headlight– etc. They couldn’t find the shake/​vibration I felt intermittently AND charged ME $ 300 diagnosis!!! The day after I picked up car it started shaking so much I pulled over and Unilocaled «Volvo mechanic». UP popped BRAVO MOTORS only a few miles away in Roseville, Ca. I called and owner Dean (from a pedigree Volvo family) said he’d take a look. He test drove it, made some minor adjustments, removed a mouse nest from the engine and charged me $ 157. Thanks Dean! You are a true professional and a pleasure to work with.

Dean is the best volvo repairman in town. He is the only one i trust with my volvo. I live all the way in Sacramento and it is quite a drive for me but it is worth it. He is honest, competent and great to work with.

You shouldn’t take your Volvo to anyone other than Dean. He performs high quality work at a reasonable price, really cares about his clients, and truly respects Volvo’s especially for their safety.
He has done a 120K service and multiple repairs for me. All were done quickly, professionally, and with a focus on his client. As an example, when Dean replaces brakes, he does not use Volvo brakes but another product he’s found which lasts longer. Given that Volvo brakes are notorious for wearing out, this costs him money but makes his clients happy.

Ok owned more than one Volvo and have been to repair shops and dealerships from Monterey to Sacramento. Have also owned numerous cars and been to all kinds of repair shops including ones owned by close friends. Dean and his shop are by far the best service, friendliest and most knowledgable mechanic shop I have ever done business with in 40 years of owning cars. Dean is so reliable that I send my young daughter and her Volvo to him and only him because he treats her like his own daughter and I don’t have to worry about the kind of service she gets or how she is treated. Dean is the kind of guy who makes you feel like family or a close friend within minutes after meeting him. Don’t take your Volvo to any other mechanic.

Very honest — great work.

My sincere thanks to Dean at Bravo motors for the outstanding customer service and repair of my 2000 Volvo S70. My transmission was acting up and Dean knew exactly what was happening and what was needed to repair it.
The repair cost was considerably less than what I had in my mind.
If you have a Volvo and need work done, I urge you to check with Dean before going to a dealer. Dean will only repair whats needed.
It’s refreshing to do business with Bravo Motors.

Bravo Motors was recommended by a friend-​of-​a-​friend who has been taking her Volvo here for years. I have never had such an easy, stress-​free tuneup and repair experience as I have with this shop. Very fair charges, honest and reliable work, and always able to get me an appointment in a timely manner. If I knew any other Volvo owners, I would recommend them to Dean.

I took my Volvo here today for an inspection before it was sold. I was so impressed by the knowledge Dean has on Volvo’s. This guy understands these cars inside and out. He was very courteous and did a thorough job checking my car over from stem to stern. I wish I had found this shop earlier in my Volvo ownership career. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a knowledgeable Volvo mechanic. No matter where you live in the Sacramento area make the time to bring your Volvo here. You wont be disappointed.

My family was recommended to Dean and his shop, because of his vast knowledge on Volvo autos and impeccable quality and service. We weren’t disappointed!
He runs the shop by himself, so there’s often times where it’s better to drop your car off and pick it up at the end of the day.
As soon as I got my car back, check engine light was off, and it ran MUCH smoother. I will go to him for my future volvo repairs!

Found the place I will always take my car. I have had all great experiences with this shop. Dean is very helpful and knows what he’s talking about. They clearly inform you on whats going on, you can see the old parts when work is completed, they double check the cars working properly before you take home. No run around about how you need this and that when you don’t. (they do tell you what you need but also show you proof). Car has always been ready on time and in great condition. Glad to have found this place. Honest hard working people. Volvo’s only! though sorry.

Dean, one of the partners who runs the business, is great. He’s very friendly and hospitable. He actually makes sure his customers are comfortable while they are waiting for the car to be fixed. He includes you in the process by showing you the parts and the places that are wrong so you aren’t left in the dark. He also checks up on you by phone call to make sure the work he has done is still working properly. Overall, amazing service and I highly recommend this business if you have a Volvo that needs to be worked on or even just looked at.
