our team
Ivan
Born in Serbia, Ivan has worked on everything from cars, trucks, and tractors. Moved to America in 2004, and worked primarily on cars until 2014 when he switched over to restoration. Specializing in interior/upholstery, along with body work and mechanical work. His attention to detail is top notch. |
Danny
Hard working, conscientious, experienced; Danny exemplifies the ideal restoration technician. He works great with everyone else here at the shop and gives great council and support from his many years of experience. He is very patient, with even the most challenging jobs, which he handles with ease and diplomacy without losing focus. |
Michele
A Lebanese native, learned early on in his professional career that if he was going to succeed he would need to be able to fix anything, often with little resources. Today, we are very fortunate to have access to nearly as many production parts for classic Volvos as were available when these cars were new. But still, some parts are near impossible to source and must be fabricated from scratch, which can bring a project to a standstill. Michele has proven massively capable in problem-solving these unique situations to keep restoration projects moving along. |
what our customers have to say
"I can't say enough good things about the Alan Auto team, they do simply amazing work there. I recently purchased/imported a low-mile 1983 245 Turbo from Italy after 21 years in long term storage there and it needed to be gone through thoroughly. I sent it off with a long list and they went through and performed each task to perfection. Not only that, but they made improvements and updates to things not on the list, with my approval first of course, to make the car run as good as new. They're very communicative and let you know what's going on every step of the way so there are no surprises. Alan is a wealth of knowledge and Andrew is a master mechanic and problem solver and along with the rest of the team there they make for an unbeatable combination of Volvo experts. I would not hesitate to take the car back to them for additional work if needed, and/or any restoration work needed in the future. Thanks to everyone there for making my experience a phenomenal one, we will definitely work together again!"

"Yes, I received my 1990 240 and it is beautiful! It looks and drives just like new. You all did a great job in restoring it. The paint is perfect, all the molding is perfect, the engine compartment looks great, all the instruments work, it's fabulous. You all paid attention to the details, all the minute parts, and it shows in the finished product. Just what I wanted. When it was unloaded off the truck many neighbors were captivated by the beautiful pristine condition classic car.
Thank you and the team for all the great work that went into restoring my 240. All the best, Randy"

"I have worked with Alan Auto on major restorations over the past twenty years, and have three award winning vintage Volvos as a result. There is no better, more experienced Volvo restoration specialist in North America that I am aware of. The staff is friendly, professional, and highly skilled, with the vast majority of all work, mechanical and body, done in house. The facilities are spacious and first rate, and the entirety is well maintained , well supplied, and unusually clean and tidy. Their pricing is not cheap, but fair --- restoration work, whether for an Aston or a Volvo is always going to be expensive and probably at least twice as much as expected. Alan himself is incredibly knowledgeable and still very much engaged in the process, which is what it is all about really." - V.M.D., July 2020
