I had trouble starting my van. The battery and starter was okay. Import Auto Specialist was able to diagnose it. They found out it was the fuel pump so they replaced the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. There was an issue from the fuel pump to the fuel injectors. They were able to trace the wire and fux the problem.

We're thrilled your experience provided so much value, Winston & Lorena! Anytime you need us, we are here for you!

This will be my third time seeing them in 3 months. Would suggest for anyone to get a second opinion. After spending around $2,000 to get my entire vehicle repaired, IAS placed a part that did not operate to specification. I went back to have it repaired correctly under warranty. About a month later my engine light comes back on AGAIN! Now all of a sudden, the timing chain needs to be replaced for over $3,000. What is truly puzzling is that this information was not detected by their elaborate code reader initially. Keep in mind, the timing chain is supposed to last in entirety. So essentially, I’m left only to contemplate if this was caused by incompetent repairs and parts. Please, have your vehicle checked elsewhere for a second opinion.

We are sorry you feel this way, sir. Here is what we have in our records: The client came in and had a check engine light on for a defective thermostat. We replaced it and the part failed a few hundred miles later. We replaced it again under warranty for no charge. Then 3,000 miles later the check engine light came on and it was a timing chain issue, which is a completely separate problem from the thermostat. Perhaps you are saying the light came on again, and you assume that we did not repair the issue? Unfortunately, there are a hundred different reasons that the check engine light can come on, and your vehicle is alerting you to a new, different issue. If you'd like to come back into our shop to see if this is a warranty repair or a new issue, we'd be happy to help. We never want our clients to have a broken down car and we sincerely care about your well-being and safety.

This is my trusted mechanic. They are consistent in delivering the best services every time i take my car for maintenance or repairs. Last time they did not even charge me for the diagnostics as the repair needed was still under warranty. Special thank you to Bill, for an amazing customer service, honesty and integrity. I highly recommend you service your car at Import Auto Specialists.

Wow, thank you so much, Vika! Anytime you need service or maintenance, we are happy to serve for years to come!
