Very fair in their prices and the mechanic gets the job done fast. He works on Volvos and other makes.

I have been taking my car to Ron for years. He is honest and offers fair prices while providing excellent work and knowledge regarding cars and anything SAAB.

Ron was amazing! So kind, diligent, assertive, helpful, fast and knowledgeable! 10/10 stars. Businesses like THIS should be highlighted and supported to the fullest degree!💜

They really helped me out. I live out of town and they agreed to meet me on a Saturday to work on my Saab. Very friendly and professional and they offered to check my fluids after the 4 hour journey. Will use them in the future when I have Saab-specific issues.

Ron has been working on my car for close to 10 years. He is great at figuring out problems and letting you know what the best solution is. He knows what he is doing and I very much trust him.

Ron is an amazing auto technician and I have known him for many years now! He is trustworthy, transparent and continually goes above and beyond. Cannot recommend Swedish Connection enough!

A bit late to post this review but had to get one put up for these guys. Incredibly quick work on my Volvo XC40 providing the 40k service. Awesome pricing as well, especially compared to the dealers. I’ll be bringing my car back. If you have a Swedish vehicle, you probably should too.

Ron worked at Saab of Orange County before coming to J&B Imports to carry on after Bud Clark retired. He has always been upfront and fair in taking care of any Saab that came to him. Highly recommended and respected among Saabophiles.

My Mom has a Volvo XC 60 SUV from 2019. It needed service so we took it to the dealer. It took them 3 days to give us a quote which was $3K. We decided to get another quote and found the Swedish Connection in Orange. Jeremy promptly gave us an apt and soon after quoted us $1K for the same job. It was completed after just one day in the workshop and Ron explained to my Mom everything that was done. From now on, we will take her Volvo there for everything including oil change. Both Ron and Jeremy were helpful, knowledgeable, and professional.

Ron is an amazing Saab tech! If you have a Saab, don’t waste time taking your car anywhere else. I did my own brake job, and starting hearing rattling from the front end. I took it to a shop close to home and was told the brakes were fine but needed over 3k in repairs to replace mounts. I took it to Ron and he diagnosed the silly mistake I made with brake clips in a minute. He saved me a bundle! Even though he is a bit farther away, there is no other place I will take my car ever again!

Our 900 Turbo convertible has had major engine and trans service along with routine maintenance. The care our Saab received was certainly appreciated.

Bad experience When doing business with this person Maybe if I had paid attention to the first red flags this situation would have ended the way it did because on the first call RHON He was attentive but after that everything changed into a nightmare It turns out that the day We had already agreed that I was going to leave my car for him that same day, he didn't answer my texts so I decided to just go and drop him off and coincidentally he was there but he was there drinking alcohol and when I just arrived and looked for him by name he I was drunk (Friday November 25) With a more group of people That was my second red flag and at that point I was already doubting leaving my car with an irresponsible person like him. A curious fact was that I asked him about a part of my car which he did not know how to answer, doubting the capacity of this person if he really understands and understands this type of SAAB cars. Immediately afterwards I decided to leave my car there and go home, promising me that he would call me on Monday to tell me what the problem was with my car, which he never called me or text me I waited four more days. and Exactly I had to call him and my call was never answered. He only sent me a text telling me that the transmission was the problem, so at the same time I told him to take a photo of the VIN and send it to me so I could buy the transmission, which he never did so I was furious at that point i just decided not to wasted my time anymore and go to pick up my car the same way I left it so the day I arrived to pick up my car I simply asked him for my keys without any explanation and he already knew the magnitude of things. what is it he just told me : Sorry im a busy as if I were not a client which from the beginning never treated me like one so be careful with these types of people who only try to attract you to make money without caring about their character and other people's time. Also im trying to take his fat ass to court for the town expenses wich is $ 750

Ron is a true professional and expert! I've been taking our Volvo to him for oil changes and when there's been issues outside of this he's been able to fix all quickly at very fair prices. Always a pleasure to work with!

Ron is a great mechanic. He is fair-priced, quick to diagnose, make the repair, and knows exactly how to work on our vintage Saab. We highly recommend Swedish Connection of Orange County!

Ron is the only mechanic I trust to work on my Volvo and Saab for probably 20 yrs now.He is honest, very nice and always does a great job. At one point I was going to get rid of my old Saab that I love and after a year in storage I had it towed to Ron and a couple of years later it still runs great. All this for under $500! He is a top mechanic in my book.
