From the first time I called the shop to receiving my keys back after the repair, Bill was the most friendly, honest, and efficient repair person I’ve ever dealt with. The shop is clean and welcoming and I felt that my car was in good hands when I left it. I have a Subaru Forester that the stealership told me could only be serviced at Subaru for the CVT and front/rear differentials. After speaking with Bill and reading the stellar reviews, I was empowered to blow off my appointment at the dealer and go with IAS. They not only performed the 90,000 mile service, but did so well under what I would have paid at the dealer. The difference in my car’s performance is noticeable…feels like when I first bought it! Also, they went the extra mile and washed my car! Dealer days are officially over! I am going to IAS for all my car needs now!

Thank you, Jeffrey, for choosing our shop for your car repair needs and for taking the time to write a review!. It is our goal to always provide excellent service and we are glad that we were able to do that! If there is anything else we can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to let us know. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again in the future!

Amazing communication and customer service! After receiving a lengthy diagnostic from the Stealership, I talked to my friend who recommended IAS since they work on Subarus. What I loved was that Bill did an initial inspection based on what I mentioned, noting that most items the dealership said “needed” to be done were actually fine. Once in the shop, he invited me to look underneath my car, pointing out what he saw. This is where they gained my trust. When they point at things and tell you how they can fix them. All in all, I got the REAL items fixed, and my car is running a few years younger. Bill kept me posted as updates came from the shop at a perfect pace. Bonus was that I also saved money. Highly recommend!

Thank you so very much! We appreciate the great review and wish you a wonderful week. :-)

I cannot recommend Import Auto Specialists enough! My car's starter died on a random Wednesday, and they were able to fix it quickly after running a diagnostic, even though they were quite busy. When they did the diagnostic, they also included pictures of the area/machinery tested - something I have NEVER seen another mechanic do. It made me more confident in their assessment and recommendations. They were very communicative and easy to reach, and at no point did I feel spoken down to or kept in the dark. They are absolutely wonderful! Will be bringing my business to them as long as I live in San Diego!

Haley, thank you so very much for this wonderful review-- it shows off all the things we hope to show about our business to each customer. Please come back any time your Accord needs some attention!
