I've been going there for years after a recommendation buy a friend -they are the best -very honest Jill Friedman

The most honest, fair priced place I've ever been! I literally sat in the waiting area and listened to them deal with other customers and say, you don't really need that. Who does that? This level of integrity needs to be supported! read more

A few weeks ago my wife came home with a leaking thermostat on her Volvo XC60. I called on a Thursday, was quoted for the thermostat and a few other things I wanted done. I dropped the car off Friday morning. There was a parts delay at the day's end and C called me with updates. They close at 5pm and stayed until 7pm (on a Friday) to finish the job. Invoice was as quoted. There was no upselling, no stories, or nonsense. This is a professional shop with no pretense. The prices are fair, the communication is fantastic, and the work is great. read more

Very reliable, honest, and reasonably priced. We have been going here for 10 plus years. High recommended.

These guys are honest, hard working and very properly priced. I would and will recommend them to anyone I know. Great job guys!

Sean and CeCe are rockstars, epitomizing the best in everything you're hoping for in car maintenance and repair...the best thing since sliced bread read more

I had a great experience with Import Car Specialists. I trusted them and felt like they charged me fairly! I'm happy to use them the next time my car needs some help! read more

Sean and the team at import car specialists are amazing! This is the only place I trust in the LA area with any of my cars. I have taken all my cars here for almost 10 years. They have cared for my Subarus, my BMW and my Volkswagen. They are honest, fair, reliable and professional. Everything you can ask for in a mechanic! read more

These guys are great. I took my wife's Fiat in based on the other positive reviews I saw and I can say that they were spot on. Import Car Specialists are fair and honest. That is very important to me when it comes to auto mechanics. They found the problem immediately and had the car back to me the same day and only charged me for a half hour of labor. If you have a European or Japanese car take it to Import Car Specialists. read more

Sean is amazing. Hands down. Knows cars in and out. A++ service and prices. Fair and honest. Second time here and customer for life.

Great shop for repairs and regular maintenance. Fair pricing without the upselling you deal with at a dealership. Quality work. Easy to get an appointment. I've trusted this shop with my Toyota for several years, and will definitely bring my new car here, too. read more

Been doing business with these guys for maybe a decade. They are absolutely the very best. You can trust them with your car, and you can also trust that they won't upsell you, or overcharge you. Don't go anywhere else! read more

Absolutely the best auto shop on the planet. Fair, honest, and incredibly friendly. Chris and Sean are the absolutely best. They can get booked up a bit, but that's only because of how good they are. It's worth the wait. read more

Great service, dependable, fairly priced! Been going to them for years. Would recommend for any BMW work.

Honest, thorough, smart, fair and professional. Absolutely the best mechanic I've been to. As long as I'm in this area I won't be taking my car to anyone else. read more

I have been taking my car to this place for a couple of years now and I have been very happy. they are very trustworthy honest and professional, Sean the owner goes above and beyond with his customer service so does the staff, I would highly recommend this place,thank you Sean and team! read more

Generally good work, but the last repair they made was problematic. They left three cables unplugged under the hood and unfortunately one of them was my horn. I nearly got in an accident because of this. Also, my car was covered in mud when I picked it up. It looked like they washed a very dirty vehicle right next to my car and didn't bother to clean it off. read more

My Audi Q5 needed new brakes all around. I thought that the dealership quote was too high, so went looking for an independent shop. I found Sean at Import Car Specialists and could not be more pleased. They did an excellent job with quick turnaround and I've got new pads and rotors on all four wheels for a great price! Plus, I got a free ride in Sean's "weekend" car! I recomend these folks and they'll be doing my scheduled Audi maintenance there from now on as well! Thanks read more

The mechanic shaun is misleading , he has kept our car for three months every week saying he is working on , he tried to fix and cost us alot , the next day it broke down . not trustworthy , nor cares about people time. read more

Needed to have my car serviced. Got tired of going to the dealerships. Was recommended them from a friend. When they were doing the service, they found that my rear brakes need to be done. I would highly recommend them. read more

We have been coming to Import Car Specialists over the last decade or more. Hadn't been there however, for a few years, as our cars were new. We recently returned, after our newer cars " aged out" from car warranties and we'd been going to dealer service departments. So glad that Import Car Specialists is still around! Fabulous customer service, and they really care about their customers and go the extra mile. They work with integrity and are wonderful at what they do. A lot more reasonable rates than the dealer too!We noticed It takes a little longer to get an appointment, but it's probably because the word has gotten out about them. read more

It was a busy day but everyone was super friendly. Sean explained everything in detail and they did a great job on my car. Great job guys!

Straight forward, honest reliable service. Not sure why I have been taking my car to the dealer for service and repair. This is my new go to place for repairs and maintenance. read more

Great people and service. Very fair in pricing. I highly recommend the establishment. Been frequenting the place for 15 years. No complaints whatsoever. read more

I used to only service my car at the dealer, but was recommended by a friend to take my car to Import Car Specialist. This place is a gem! They are honest and the service provided is always on point! My car runs amazing!! read more

Excellent honest and professional locally Indy. Brought in my F10 Bmw for radiator change and they did all the necessary updates and fitments required by the manufacturer. Best pricing in town and superb reliable service. Will definitely return for other cars. read more

Shawn helped get my subaru axels replaced for a fair cost and in a quick time frame. Highly recommend this shop for work on your Subaru!

I took my car to Import Car Specialists based on the glowing Yelp reviews and agree with these reviews. Sean is extremely knowledgeable, fair, and honest. He takes time to explain the problem, solution, and pricing. It was also great that his friendly staff can give you a ride if your destination is local. So glad to have found a really good auto repair place nearby, and we'll take our other vehicles here in the future. read more

Very honest mechanic. Sean the owner will explain in detail problems, not just giving vague answers so the non-mechanically inclined people understand what he's talking about. Good prices, quality work, someone you can trust to leave your car with. read more

So car breaks down on way to pick up kids from school on a Monday.. Called around and Sean was not only able to get my car fixed the next day before my flight but he was also able to give me the best prices around.. The job was prioritized and the bonus was he even took care and checked some engine lights another shop managed to trigger and couldn't figure out.. Amazing and trusting shop which you don't see often in auto shops.. will be recommending them to all my employees and friends.. read more

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND ... in fact, I called my mom up afterwards so she knows about this Thousand Oaks gem the next time her Porche has an issue. Had my BMW towed here, after hours, after my engine service light turned on and I started having acceleration issues. I got a call from JP first thing in the morning verifying everything that I noted was wrong before inspection. Shortly after I got another call with a diagnosis and two quotes, one to replace only what was broken and another to replace the whole set with factory parts (misfiring coils) which was highly recommend (so the rest don't misfire). They fixed her up and I was back on the road by that afternoon. They also noticed my tire pressure light was on, and gave me a separate quote for that and acknowledged it wasn't a necessary fix for the car to run correctly. Happy to find a mechanic who will give me impeccable service, honesty and options at a fair price. With no appointment my car was in and out of their shop in less than 24 hours. read more

This place has very fair pricing. They are very trustworthy. Their work is excellent and honest. They really do care about your car as much as they care for their own car. Welcome back JP and thank Shawn for always hooking me up. White Honda read more

This is the most amazingly consistent, honest,knowledgeable and talented auto repair professional with whom I've had the pleasure to deal...Fast if the job is simple and a company that takes the time to do the job correctly if things are more detailed. Always, however, you as the vehicle owner are informed and consulted BEFORE any work is done. RUN TO THEM! Charles in Thousand Oaks... read more

Sean and his team are terrific, honest and fair. I brought in a 1998 Jaguar and he told me what needed to be taken care or immediately, what I could wait on and what would be nice to get repaired in the near future. Also saved me a ton of money on my wife's Range Rover and a fuel pump replacement. read more

Here's why I'm giving Import Car Specialists a five star review: Fair and honest pricing (best quotes in town). No up selling of unnecessary repairs and maintenance. Trustworthy, professional and knowledgeable staff. They value you, your time and business. Quality work and great service that is very hard to find these days. I have used this shop 4 times over a three year period for repairs and maintenance. And each time, I have saved a good deal of money compared to quotes received from the dealership and repair shops in town. I feel blessed to have found this shop! Do yourself a big favor next time your vehicle needs servicing and call Import Car Specialists. read more

After I had received at $1400 estimate to replace my clutch from another mechanic, I called Sean at Import Car Specialists. They replaced it for about $600 and went above and beyond by checking all the fluid levels in my car. Added bonus, I dropped my car off around 5 and it was ready around 2 the next day. I will bringing my car here from now on. I am a VW owner, and Sean said he owned two. Always a good sign when your mechanic has owned the car you drive. read more

I have been going there for many years with our Land Rover, Toyota, and Hondas. I fully trust them. I really don't even ask them what repair or service work is going to cost. My experience has shown they are well beyond competitively priced. I kid you not. Thank you Sean, CiCi, and team! read more

Import Car Specialists was recommended to me by a friend who has his work done here. I brought my 350Z in for brakes and other misc service and was very pleased with the attention to detail and thoroughness of the team here. Did I mention that they charged me about 20% less than I expected? The owner even found extra labor he felt should not have been charged and refunded me. The job was done correctly and on time. As a last comment, I'll mention that the office workers really stand out here. I accidentally gave them an extra $100 when paying and they caught it after I had walked out the door and chased me down. They could have just kept it, but they stepped up. I will refer everyone I know in the area here and want to say that I appreciate the kind of quality, stand up business they present to the rest of the auto service world. Take them your cars... trust them.. they rock! read more

Sean and his team are the absolute best. They are terrific. They tell me which repairs need to be taken care of immediately and which can wait until later. I am so lucky I found them. read more

Found this amazing car service center in yelp so Thank you . We bought our car a 2004 Toyota Corolla one month back. We went to Firestone for initial checking, they gave us 2500 dollars repairs estimate, we were stunned . We decided to do only the oil change and leak detection. So today only we went to Import Car Specialist, they changed the oil and did the leak detection, cost us 44.90, said everything is fine, we don't have to worry about anything now. They are such good and honest people. They took like 4 hours, we ate lunch at Namaste spiceland and enjoyed our time in The Lakes, so it was also a awesome outing read more
