Ackerman's Servicing Volvo & Subaru

"Bruce was very professional and helpful in dealing with our car. He made room in his schedule to take our car in which had to be towed to his shop. Very happy with the services performed on our vehicle. The follow up phone call, asking how things were and thanking us for using their services was a nice touch."

"Never again will I wait weeks for over priced appointments at the Subaru dealership. The guys at Ackerman were so quick, polite, inclusive, and capable, I have found the nirvana of a trustworthy mechanic who also has fast service and good prices. I love that the office is LGBTQ friendly, a real plus for a Subaru mechanic ;) , and Bruce was a delight to work with. I also couldn’t stop giggling at their magazine rack which represents the 4 genders- “trade”, “racing”, “gay”, and “general”. Definitely a place to feel safe and accepted while also getting excellent service. I dropped my car off for some body work at 0830, they were done by 1000, and the price came in exactly as quoted with no extras or up charging. 100% will be returning for future service on my 2016 Outback."

"Brought my XC70 in for its 80k mi service and appreciated the drama-free experience. Bruce is efficient with the paperwork, clearly explains work to be done, and patiently answers questions. From attentive customer service to honest and quality car care, the competence at Ackerman's is obvious. In short, they are as reliable as my Volvo!"

"My first time going to Ackerman’s was very positive. They were recommended by a Volvo owning friend. I found them honest, efficient with time, good communicators and very experienced. I highly recommend them. I brought in my 2006 Subaru Outback due to clicking noise with sharp turns, handling problems and white smoke coming out of tail pipe. Bruce (owner) explained white smoke likely condensation with cooler outside temps (winter). I chose to pay for compression test which proved Bruce right. Worth the peace of mind for engine with 150,000 miles. They determined the clicking noise from cracked axil. Bruce explained he typically saves customers money by using non Subaru parts, but in this case they’ve found off market part’s inferior. They also found that my suspension is shot. For this he recommended cheaper non Subaru parts that he said are consistently reliable. I appreciate their wisdom here. As full suspension repair will cost more than blue book for the car, Bruce prioritized which suspension repairs are most vital to safety and asked how many more miles I plan to keep my car. They obviously are not trying to rip off the customer, but work collaboratively to assess the customer’s best options. Big thank you to Bruce and his team."

"Easily one of the best shops I've had for ANY of my cars. Bruce is always pleasant, well-informed, and helpful. They communicate so well about what's going on, what to expect, etc. I couldn't recommend them highly enough as a quality shop that delivers top notch service with zero fuss. Do yourself a favor and bring your cars to them."
