Family business, very nice and super helpful!! I have been there with my Saab 9-3 and Xterra. They are very knowledgeable and do their absolute best to get your issue fixed for the best price. A definite recommend for anyone needing work on their vehicle in the Boulder area!

Bear and Christine are the best. They have kept my Saab running for over a decade. They always share details of what is going on, options and even tell me when something doesn’t need to be done.

I feel like honest, helpful, and high-quality mechanics are hard to find. EOS fits all three of these descriptors, and I wouldn't take a Saab anywhere else. I've brought my Saab 9-3 to them for many years, and they always fix it up more quickly and more cheaply than I would have imagined. Since they specialize in Saabs, their knowledge of the vehicles and their ability to find parts is unparalleled. They also only recommend repairs and services that the car actually needs, which is great if you're like me and tend to cave in under sales pressure. If you have a Saab, definitely give these folks a try - you won't be disappointed!

I have taken my Saab to EoS for several years. The team at EoS is amazing - honest, thorough, and completely professional. They have saved me on multiple occasions, providing the best guidance and service at a very fair price. I recommend them completely!

One of the best Mechanic shops I've ever worked with, let alone one of the best Saab shops! They were really helpful with me as a DIYer and parts buyer. Then for jobs to big for me to handle, they were beyond accommodating and knowledgeable. Their prices are the best I've ever encountered. It is the only mechanic where I've felt undercharged! This is really a quality place that is operated by quality people!

This is a little family-owned shop: mom, Christine, runs the desk and her sons are the mechanics. I've had about 5 experiences with them to address issues with an aging Saab, and I'm convinced that they are fair and would never gouge me. Depending on your disposition, they can usually use their broad networking in the industry to find used parts (if they are equally suitable to new parts) to bring the bill down. Their labor charge is a flat $89 per hour, but they are exact and efficient in their diagnosis and repairs. They've definitely earned my repeat business!

I have been servicing my car at East Of Sweden for over 10 years. First with my Saab and now my Subaru. If I could give this place 50 stars, I would! Their knowledge is second to none...Christine and her sons are absolutely incredible and insanely kind! They go out of their way to make things easy for you and take the time to break down your car issue in layman’s terms. From impeccable car service, to HONESTY to kindness to timely-ness... they check every single box! I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to find this place when I moved to CO from NY. I now live in Denver and still choose to take my car to East of Sweden because of how amazing they are! Thank you East of Sweden!!!!

Been here a couple times with my 2010 Saab 9-3. The service has been great. They are very upfront about cost and time frame. I had been quoted $1,000 for a repair at a different local shop then decided to check it EOS and they resolved the issue for $250. They will be my mechanic as long as I own a Saab.

East of Sweden Boulder is an excellent place. I was visiting Boulder for the summer when my Saab 9-5 decided to blow up a piston. Being a Saab lover, I couldn't part with my beloved vehicle. Christine and Bear worked with me through a pretty complicated motor build that took about 23 days. (A very short time considering what was done). They were both patient and knowledgeable. Christine is an amazing communicator. She kept me posted every step of the way. I think we spent about 10 hours on the phone together. Bear seems to really know his stuff. All in all, I trust these people to be fair with replacing only parts that actually need replacing as well as to be fair with pricing. The price I paid was not likely a reflection of the hours they spent working on my car. Thanks to EOS, I was able to afford getting my car back on the road and complete the 1500 mile drive back home. I will be back one day.

We have been taking our Saab to EOS for many years. We've always have received excellent service but the other morning Bear diagnosed our engine problem by listening to it as we were parking it to leave it with him. He asked me to pop the hood and said he thought it sounded like a loose vacuum pipe. Sure enough the nipple that holds the pipe in place had broken. He replaced it and we were back on the road in 5 minutes! Talk about service; this was like a NASCAR pit stop! Thanks to Bear and Christine for running such a good shop; refreshing in this day & age. If you have a Saab they are the place to go!

Incredibly family, friendly, and very welcomed and people they’re extremely understanding and extremely helpful. Not to mention that they’re very keen and vocal about explaining the process about what’s going on and everything they’re gonna do to your car with your explicit permission. They do incredible work and they are by far the best people to go to if you own a saab

Truly amazing and beautiful people. They said our relationship was like a team, but it felt more like family. They loved my Saab just as much as I love it. They listened to me, made me feel heard and understood, and serviced my Saab at affordable rates. They let me know what’s going on in detail and how I can keep it going. I’m truly grateful for EOS and it will be my go-to shop—not just because of good service, but because they care. Thank you so much for all the help Bear & Christine 🤗 see you next week !!!

Christine and bear were amazing at communicating everything and getting everything done on time and right. Only SAAB people you can trust and they really don’t charge nearly enough

The ONLY place I trust to diagnose and repair my tuned og9-3 when I’ve run out of ideas, energy or options. The work they do here, the pricing they have and service they provide is unmatched by literally any other dealership or independent shop, or mechanic I’ve worked with, bar none, and that’s not trying to put down other shops or mechanics, they are just THAT GOOD! They will work with you if something is too expensive in that moment, they will keep you in the loop every step of the way, they will let you know if they discover any other issues along the way, everything is extremely fair and transparent, certainly far, far beyond the unfortunate current standard for the industry that has brought down the reputations of indy shops nationwide. I have an e46 330i along with my SAAB and I wish, every single time something goes wrong, that I could take it here, because if there is a good BMW indy, I certainly haven’t found it, at least not one even comes close to matching the level of service Christine, Bear, and the rest of the team at EOS provide. East of Sweden/EOS Motorsports truly deserve more recognition and frankly should be as legendary as places like Taliaferro in the SAAB community, it’s a pity they don’t get the far and wide praise they deserve. They are the reason my baby is still on the road today.
