A Little Out of the Way for Me, but Worth It

04/24/2007

Went to Larry's early last year for the first time. I was a little leery at first because I was bringing in a new 2006 S-40. I wanted a place that specialized in Volvo's, but wasn't an expensive dealership. I love finding hole-in-the-wall businesses that offer great service and Larry's seems to be one of those places. I've been there three times now, so I think I can acurately review them. After finding Larry's on Citysearch I tried them at my 15000 mile service. I waited in the small waiting area reading magazines. I would recommend bringing something to read, or a laptop/dvd player. For the active types Beacon Ave has a strip of park that you could run or walk. Don't know about the crime in the area, but it didn't seem too bad mid-week when everyone is at work or school. Larry's got it done pretty quickly for me and didn't seem to have any problems with my new car. When it came time to pay the bill I was like, "Whoa, is that all?" My wife drives a 2000 Mercedes that cost us more than double, maybe triple, that same week at a dealer. Needless to say my wife now goes to a hole-in-the-wall called Mercedes Garage in Bellevue that has been like Larry's for her. The second time I went to Larry's I had them put synthetic oil in. They said no problem, charged me a very reasonable price for the more expensive oil, and the total service price was again very reasonable. This time I came prepared with some books and my dog, and walked the park area while they did the service. The next time I went it took a little longer for my regular service because it was the special 30000 mile service. Expecting this I used the Metro bus website for planning and then took the bus across the street downtown to do some shopping and reading in a coffee shop. I took the bus back a few hours later. It dropped me off practically at the front door. All for about $3 total roundtrip. Overall - good prices, good service, access to park and bus a bonus

Done on time and quoted cost!

Went to Larry's on a friend’s recommendation, she is also a Volvo owner. Good recommendation! The job was done on time at the original cost. What more needs to be said? Oh, the car was NOT covered by greasy finger prints and the owner was trustworthy and friendly. I am going to take all my service there.

A Friend's Referal

I came up to seattle to see a friend and my car breaks down, great stuff hu. Anyways my buddy up here said to take it into Larry's, sounded good to me, im pretty sure we're all scared of mechanics. Anyways i had no problems at all. got my car over there, chatted with the owner, great people and great service. Car's been running clean since.

Terrific experience at Larry's

I went in to get the "Brake Failure" light on my '84 240 DL wagon checked out. They tested the brake system but found the cause was a faulty relay switch, not the brakes...which was a relief. I also asked them to reconnect my overdrive switch to my gear knob; they wound up fixing the overdrive system by flushing and replacing the fluid, and they fixed the weighty clutch that I've had for years. All for $200! I was very happy with the service. They also tried to call me 3 times before going ahead with any extra work, which I appreciated.

BMW's too!

Went on a friends recommendation years ago... Now the only place we would trust with our car, and it isn't even a Volvo anymore. Larry's used to service our Volvo but we sold it and now have a BMW. Still the same great service!
