EXPERTISE

Bruce hires and retains the best mechanics around. “Best of all is the excellent service from the technical team,” says long-time customer Cynthia Bonta. “When I found out that Bruce raced a Volvo, I felt even better about my decision to go with Ackerman’s because I realized he knew Volvos inside and out, and would have very high standards when hiring mechanics.” Even ASE-Certified Master Technician Adam Anderson attests to the fact that his technical skills and those of fellow ASE-Certified Master Technician Eric Bjorklund’s dovetail seamlessly. “We know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Together there is no problem that Eric and I can’t solve. I like the challenge of diagnostics and electrical, and Eric has no problem tearing the car down to nothing. Nothing scares Eric. He’s the best mechanic I’ve ever seen in my life and I’ve met lots of them.”

Great Shop Environment

When Bruce remodeled his shop in 1998, he knew that a colorful fish tank in the lobby would please his customers. In the spring and summer orchids are also on display in his clean, comfortable lobby. Relax with some Peet's coffee, biscotti, and a magazine while you wait for your car.




Or make faces at the fish while you relax!
