If Mike can’t fix it we’re all screwed! I love this sign at their shop and It’s absolutely true. Excellent knowledge and excellent Volvo service shop. Couldn’t be happier with these guys. Brian the shop manager is a great guy to work with. Good all the way around.

They do great work, and are very honest! They will not try to talk you into more than what you need. In fact, I wanted them to do something that they felt was unnecessary, and talked me out of it. (By the way, I am 63 years old and have always done all my own repairs, even full engine rebuilds. But as I am aging, I am doing less) So I would highly recommend them!

I have been to Bellinger Automotive twice now. To say that I don't trust mechanics in this town is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Especially being a woman, I have often felt taken advantage of because I know NOTHING about cars. Our son's Volvo broke down and we were looking for a mechanic specializing in Volvos. Not many here in Salem. I truly thought this vehicle was going to be undriveable. Mike knew exactly what happened because of something he smelled. He was honest, looked over the car AFTER the repair and gave us a thorough report on what needed to be on our radar for future repairs. He was transparent with his pricing and didn't hustle us. You start to build trust with people like this.... I took my car in today after being told by a local tire chain I needed new struts and possibly a sway bar. $1600 in repairs. Mike could've done both sets of struts for less than what they quoted me AND put the car on the lift and found that this SAME LOCAL TIRE CHAIN didn't even bother to tighten the screws causing the noise. NOT a $1600 fix. I do not like mechanics for this reason, BUT, Mike has changed my mind because of his honesty and integrity. I appreciate that, and not only will I continue to take my vehicles to him, I will REFER EVERY PERSON I KNOW to go to him FIRST. You're welcome! Thank you to Mike and his team! You have a customer for life!

I trust Bellinger’s with my wife’s XC 90 completely for the safety check and all the routine maintenance they provide. They checked for any problems we might have in the future such as the drive belt, brakes, tires, etc. I love the fact that I can get an appointment and bring it in and pick up the same day! Also, Brian is quite patient with all my questions I have and he explains things well. I highly recommend this small Mechanic shop with such a good mechanic. Very personal service for sure!

I am always happy with my service at Bellinger's. My car is nearly 25 years old and I always feel so relieved after it has gotten a clean bill of health. I am especially grateful that I can bring the car in any time to have my oil checked and the check engine light turned off, and that I have not been lured into getting an expensive procedure done that probably wouldn't solve the problem.

Brought my car to Mike's after the power steering went out. They diagnosed it as the power steering control module but quoted me $1700 to fix it. I bought the part used for $150, installed it myself in 20 minutes... absolutely ridiculous. Even a brand new OEM part is around $500 so that markup is crazy. On top of that the customer service was awful. I told them I just really needed the power steering fixed because it would go out randomly and dude did not care whatsoever. Instead he tried to push over a grand of extra work I did not ask for. I would not take another vehicle here and I would strongly suggest avoiding this shop.

Bellinger’s was SO honest and amazing! My check engine light came on in my Nissan Rogue while driving in California. A Nissan dealership in Redding said I needed a new O2 sensor. When I arrived at my sisters home in Oregon the following day, she recommended Bellinger. They checked out my car and said there was nothing wrong and did not charge the diagnostic fee. I was so surprised. The local Nissan dealership treated me horribly and Bellinger was amazing. Thank you, guys!

Brian was very helpful before the visit, giving me an approximate cost if the problem was what I thought, and was able to get my car in within a reasonable time. Once in, the job was done the same day and I have my “Mable” back! Thank you, Brian!

I found this company to be very honest by telling me that in the future I would need some maintenance on my vehicle when they could have tried to sell me on doing the maintenance now. Thank you. All of the workers are very knowledgeable and kind.

Service was excellent. They diagnosed what was wrong quickly, were able to get the parts same day and have my car back to me fixed by the end of the work day.

I've been looking for an experienced Volvo technician in Salem, and I think I've found my guy. Thanks Mike, for a satisfying automotive shop experience. You will be my go to shop, as long as I own my Volvo!

AS I have done previously with another vehicle, I bought a Jeta in to determine whether contemplated clutch job would be worthwhile. Prompt diagnosis and price quote saved me a couple grand on a job not worth doing. I've referred a fiend for a second opinion which saved her a bundle, nearly half.

Could not recommend enough. Our car needed repairs unexpectedly the day before driving for the holidays. They ordered all the parts that might be needed to increase the chance they could fix it in time. And they did. Service and communication awesome across the board.

More than just satisfied, blown away with the employees' professionalism, kindness and honesty. I brought in my husband's old truck just to be looked at. The mechanics could have told us anything and we would have believed them. Instead, they said there wasn't a thing needed on the truck and to just keep driving it every week. I would recommend them to anyone. Jan Margosian, a customer since the 1980s.

I am very fortunate to have had my car worked on at this shop. I own an older, sometimes difficult car to find parts for and work on. The mechanics at Bellinger Automotive have gone the "extra mile" working on my car keeping it functional, they are amazing at what they do, and are genuine people. I seriously, could not have been more pleased with my past two visits.

Thorough, quick, and affordable. Only place I will be taking my cars to from now on. First time I’ve gotten a vehicle back from a shop and every single thing I pointed out was fixed. Couldn’t be happier with their service.👍🏻

Excellent business! They helped me out in a pinch to get a post-purchase inspection for my Volvo, even on a holiday. Great friendly service. I would highly recommend them and plan to use them for all future maintenance and repairs on my Volvo.
