Our story:
Richard G – Owner, operator
I grew up in a Volvo household, where a passion for these uniquely engineered cars became part of everyday life. That passion followed me into adulthood, turning me into a dedicated Volvo enthusiast and owner. After moving to Houston for school, I graduated with honors from the University of Houston, earning degrees in Computer Science and Economics, along with a graduate degree in Applied Economics.
While my academic background shaped my analytical thinking, my true passion has always been cars—and fixing things the right way. Over the years, I heard countless stories from friends, family, and fellow Volvo owners—both locally and online—about the exorbitant costs at dealerships and the frustration of dealing with general mechanics unfamiliar with Volvo’s distinct engineering. This is especially true in Houston, where independent, Volvo-specialized shops are nearly impossible to find.
With years of hands-on experience maintaining and repairing SPA platform Volvos—including my own current daily drivers, 2019 Volvo S60 T6 and 2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country—I’ve come to know these cars inside and out, both mechanically and through their sophisticated software systems.
After continuous encouragement from family and friends who trusted me with their Volvos, I decided it was time to turn this passion and expertise into something bigger. That’s how Vovo Expert was born—a dedicated, independent Volvo service shop committed to providing Houston Volvo owners with dealership-level care, without the dealership price tag or runaround.
At Vovo Expert, we believe in transparency, communication and professionalism. As a perfectionist myself, we treat every Volvo like it’s our own. Whether it’s routine maintenance, complex repairs, or software diagnostics, we’re here to give your Volvo the specialized attention it deserves.
For Volvo owners, by Volvo owners—this is our story, and we’re here to help with yours.

Technology:
Modern Volvos are built on advanced technological platforms—often described as “computers on wheels.” Packed with complex electronic modules, sensors, and sophisticated software, these vehicles require more than just traditional mechanical know-how.
Without the proper equipment, training, and experience, most mechanics find themselves overwhelmed by the complexity of today’s Volvos. Unfortunately, incorrect diagnostics have led many owners to face thousands of dollars in unnecessary repairs.
At Vovo Expert, we’ve made significant investments in cutting-edge technology—because your Volvo deserves nothing less. From Volvo factory scan tools and official service information to advanced electronic diagnostic equipment and specialized factory tools, we are fully equipped to handle the latest in Volvo engineering.
No guesswork. Just accurate diagnostics—the first time, every time.
Sustainability:
At Vovo Expert, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a core part of how we operate. We care deeply about our community and planet Earth, and we back that commitment with real actions, not empty statements.
Keeping your Volvo running at its best isn’t just about performance — it’s about efficiency and environmental responsibility. A well-maintained Volvo operates at optimal emissions levels, reducing its environmental footprint. By extending the life of your vehicle through proper care, you’re actively helping to reduce waste, limit unnecessary manufacturing demand, and avoid premature vehicle disposal.
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond vehicle care:
- We partner only with suppliers who provide responsibly sourced parts and eco-friendly supplies.
- We follow strict protocols for the proper disposal of fluids, chemicals, and waste, ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
- We prioritize recycling whenever possible, minimizing landfill contributions.
Additionally, our philosophy of no upselling and ensuring accurate diagnostics means fewer unnecessary repairs, replacements, and part consumption. No good part is ever wasted, and you save money while helping to reduce overconsumption.
At Vovo Expert, we believe that doing right by our customers also means doing right by the planet. Every service we provide is designed to keep your Volvo — and the world around us — running cleaner, longer, and better.
