Burton Automotive - Volvo Specialist in Seaside

It is so refreshing to work with complete competence and knowledge. Mark has been taking care of our old Volvo for seven years now. It was making a strange noise, so I brought it in. He open the hood, said that doesn’t sound right, listened and looked at a couple things, and then identified the problem. He showed the part with metal shavings, explained what went wrong, ordered the part and fixed it within a week. He knows Volvos and is honest and straightforward. Just awesome!

Mark is a first-rate mechanic. Honest, fair,and trustworthy. I would only entrust "Old Blue" (1989 Volvo 245) to him.

Provides good old fashioned quality service in a rapidly changing, fast pace, not so pleasant Modern day world

Great shop. Mark knows Volvos. Honest and reasonably priced.

As a female who is not very knowledgeable about cars, I tend to dread going to mechanics. But the guys at Burton are so kind and patient with my questions. I’ve been there twice and they’ve taken good care of me both times - highly recommend!

Classic Volvo or newer car, this is a shop you can trust. They do quality work, their estimates are accurate, their automotive knowledge is extensive and their service is excellent. I wouldn’t take my Volvo anywhere else. Highly recommended, they will treat you, and your car, right.

Since 1985 I have been taking my Volvo(s) to the Burton Automotive family for service and repair. First, my 1973 Volvo, 244 which ran like a Sherman tank. Following that, a series of Volvo's through the ages till now, my Volvo S60. Through-out - excellent for telling me which repairs can wait and what should be done now. And now, remarkable as it sounds - my Grandmother's favorite mechanic in the world -Richard - now works for Burton Automotive. American cars, trucks, Volvo's - if it's got four wheels and a motor bring it in. Got to go- I have a one o'clock appointment today. (sigh). P.S. If your car is making strange sounds - you can just drive by their shop and scare your car into sounding like a Rolls Royce. I don't know how they do that.

I've taken multiple of my volvos to Peninsula Auto for years. They are very knowledgeable and treat their customers with care. We were sad to hear that Dan passed, but Mark (Dan's son) is just as great. I highly recommend this business to anyone who needs auto services!
