The Rainbow Crew

Who are the Rainbow guys? Larry, David, and Brian have nearly 40 years combined experience. We have pioneered fixes for many problems unique to Volvos. We answer your Volvo questions and offer solutions to problems. So visit us, and speak with our friendly, knowledgeable team of technicians.


Larry Watson is the owner and master facilitator; he has worked on cars since 1974. He aims to balance your car needs with your car dollars. Larry found his first Volvo in 1975 and has had one or more ever since. He and his wife Virginia have been driving the same car for over 22 years, a 1982 black 244GL beauty with over 377,000 miles and counting. Larry has been ASE certified in 9 areas, including Advanced L1 Engine Performance. He can fix cars by phone, and believes an informed driver travels farther and more safely. Cost effective repairs and service is a goal within reach when the right decisions are made with his good counsel. Your relationship with your car is complicated enough: let’s simplify it at Rainbow Auto.

David Johnston is our #1 undercar service technician since 2001. He graduated from the Bellingham Technical College automotive program. Dave came to Rainbow Auto to finish his studies in the field of Volvos. He powers thru his day enjoying music played loudly so his air tools don’t drown it out.
A newlywed, happily he heads home to discover the joys of his new wife and of course his pet fish, and cats. He also proudly raises many types of trees for sale here on the farm.
It did not take long to be converted to driving a Volvo. If you add his Volvo’s miles to the crew's total fleet mileage, it is nearly 1.5 million. Of course his wife drives a nice S70 T-5.
He can tell you if any of those noises or leaks from ”down under” will make trouble for you or get it all fixed up so you will worry no more.

Brian Lunde is the kind of technician you want to have work on your Volvo.
His focus and curiosity lead him to some surprising conclusions about your car.
One of his greatest assets is his powers of observation, he will notice things of importance in time to make a difference in the outcome.
Oftentimes a car will come in with what seems to be a series of problems and with his innate logic and testing he will prove that it’s really one problem masquerading as two. Or it comes with one complaint and only to leave with a few found and solved.
As a kid he wanted to be a mad scientist, so being an auto diagnostician suits him well. With his high tech tools, and many simple homebuilt items make your car his sleuthing grounds.
Brian has been at rainbow auto since the fall of 99 and is an essential part of our great team. His quiet modesty, soft spoken style has created quite a few fans. Get to know him or at least his works of powerful magic.

You can contact Larry at 360-734-6117, Email or visit the shop located at 2729 Jensen Road, Bellingham, Washington.
