This automotive shop is stuck in the 1970's, and in a good way. The shop specializes in older Volvo repair, and as you approach the facility you get a good dose of sensory pleasure in seeing nothing but older Volvos crammed five or six rows deep. Dozens of them! The owners describe themselves as hippies who love to keep these old bricks running. The sign on the door reads "Dick Cheney shoots friends," and the office roof leaks. People constantly come and go, and they all share the love of Volvos and respect for the shop owners.
I took my Volvo 240 in for a check up and had a wonderful experience. Mitch and Dennis run the show, and they will give you and your car ample attention. They will tell you that the 240 was the best Volvo (if not the best car) ever built due to its safety, simplicity, and steadiness, and that it's a pleasure for them to work on these cars, and to keep them on the road. Their approach is minimalist and hands-on, and they will guide you on how to best save money on repairs. In the end you get what you need, and nothing more, and an old fashioned handwritten work order. A trustworthy, friendly, and competent duo. -

Alamo is awesome in that they are honest, good workers who will not over charge you and give you straight up options on what can be done. These guys have none of the b.s. factor you get at other shops and I would never, for a second, doubt what they say needs to get done on my car... and I'm a cynic.
The ONLY drawback here is that they are not in a hurry to do anything, even answer the phone. If you don't mind waiting a bit and dropping buy to set up an appointment.... this is the BEST place for Volvo repair in Portland. -

My favorite volvo shop! when I can't get in they point me to someone who can help.
price's are in line, and they back up their work. and a coffee shop across the street doesn't hurt.
