Truly a service-oriented dealer! Best car purchasing experience ever!

Staff is very professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. Clean environment and great customer service. My service contact was Brian. He's not on the list below but deserves a 5-star rating for a job well done!!
★★★★★
I always feel welcome and supported coming here, and I do not feel they are out to get my money. I feel comfortable telling them to give me a list of important to least important issues that need fixed on my car, then they take the time to explain to me each item on the list. This place is amazing, and I highly recommend them to everyone I know.
★★★★★
This past Friday I took delivery on my 2020 XC90 to compliment my fantastic 2014 XC60! The experience was as great as the first time, and Mr. Bruce Leiva, my Volvo Sales Associate, was outstanding in every way. Bob Penkhus Volvo is definitely a no-hassle automobile dealership and they make the car buying experience an enjoyable encounter. I recommend Bob Penkhus Mazda Volkswagen Volvo to any potential car buyer as the dealership to go to for an unmatched auto shopping experience. Plus their service department and team of motivated staff members are sure to please. Be it a Mazda, Volkswagen, or Volvo product, Bob Penkhus is the dealership to trust for the best auto shopping/buying experience.

Been a customer for almost 25 years. Both service and purchase of vehicles - one Mazda, two Volvo's. Excellent service from Chris Sherban. Service has improved with Chris.
★★★★★
Bryn was most helpful, walking me through all the bells and whistles. My husband appreciated working with William. There were no games or haggling, just cut to the chase with the final pricing. I felt like they dealt with us in an honest and ethical manner.
