SVS Is the Premier Classic Volvo Restoration Specialist
Classic Volvo Restoration
Volvos manufactured between 1957 and 1998 are considered to be Volvo Classics. These unique and collectable cars are simple to drive, and simple to fix - if you know what you're doing.

“The 122 runs like a new car! I can’t believe what a difference there is in its pick up and response! It runs so much more quietly too! It sounds and runs so much more like the first 1966 122 I had (which was only a 20-year-old back then)! Thanks again for giving this 122 a new lease on life!”

“The 1800ES is running brilliantly, thank you. Zero issues. And fluid levels have barely budged over the first 1000 miles.”

“I had the pleasure of leaving my 1969 Volvo P1800 in the care of Robert. He brought the old engine back to life again, fixed the brakes and fuel-lines, and gave a ton of input on how I could continue to work on the car. The price was ok too. My warmest recommendations to SVS and Robert. Exporting the car back to Norway is the only reason for not making SVS my go-to place.”
“We have complete confidence in SVS to successfully take care of our 1979 Volvo 244 now and for years to come. Nobody knows these older Volvos like SVS!”
