Great. Recommended without reservation. My BMW i3 is an odd car and they had no trouble with it. Fixed what I asked to be fixed, found a problem I didn't know about and fixed it. I left the car with them a few days to let them do their thing in their own good time including getting parts. I didn't want a hurry up job I wanted a good thorough job at a decent price. That is exactly what I got. Well pleased. Will be bring my car back to them and recommending them to others. read more

This is a real garage. They will service your car correctly for a good price. That is what I want for my car, so I take it there. If you want a 20 20-point video inspection, where they suggest 15 things that your car does not really need and you want a fancy coffee while you wait, don't come here. Go to Bellingham BMW and get charged triple the price... read more

Maggie and Herold helped me to get my 6 years old Porsche spark plugs replaced with reasonable price. Not everyone has the equipment and the will to deal with this kind of car. Herold can take on the challenge to deal with it. It saves me money and time to replaced them at Lynwood. Even though it is tough to get on their schedule, it was worth it to wait for a month. It is a worth-trusty family run auto shop. I will definitely go back if I need any work that needs to be done again. read more

We have been customers at Island Import Garage since 2007. We have had our Mercedes, Mini Countryman, and Subaru serviced by Harold. Harold is the best and he is honest. Maggie (front office) is wonderful! read more

I appreciate the front brake work they performed today. Unlike the dealer who claims unfounded urgency for performinng repairs, ten months ago Island Imports told me to drive another 10,000 miles and then check the front brakes again. I have confidence in their honesty and quality work. Good work and the bill was only two-thirds of the dealer's estimate. read more

After taking my Subaru Tribeca to 3 other Mechanics, which included the Subaru dealership, and investing several thousand dollars Harold has been the ONLY one who evalutaed and properly serviced my vehicle. We will only take our car to this service center. Our car hasn't run this smooth in months. He also took the time to go over all of the past invoices to determine the root of the problem. Thank you for being thorough and professional. read more

Island Import Garage - Auto Repair Near Me - Anacortes, Washington

I want to thank Island Imports for your excellent service today. I will never take my car to anyone else. I had an issue with my Mercedes today and even though they are booked out for weeks, they kindly took the time to fix my issue! I explained my problem over the phone and let them know I was afraid to take it on the freeway tomorrow. Not only were they gracious with their time and understanding but took the time to show me some important things I needed to know about my car! I am so grateful we have this little gem of a business in our town. Also, I was extremely grateful for the fair and honest price. Wonderful couple read more

Super nice and honest. They have taken great care of my 2011 BMW 128i.

When I bring my car in for repairs, I expect my car returned with the repairs complete. After having my car all day, without receiving any calls, my message said my car was ready. Well, all they'd done was evaluate my car and hadn't done anything. On top of incompetence, they were rude. If you actually need something done to your car, go elsewhere. Me and my car certainly are (along with my thousands of dollars to repair my car). read more

I have to say a thank you to the mechanic and the receptionist for answering all my questions and reassuring me that my car was in good hands. I drive an 1986 VW GOLF GTI so finding someone who is trustworthy and knows older Volkswagen's can be hard. Island Import def. knows what hes doing and i suggest anyone bringing their vehicle there to have work. He has done work for my oil leak issue and also my breaks..will go back again. . read more

Always great to do business with Harold. Finishes on time, always gives you the best options for fixing your vehicles. Top notch service!

This man is SCARY and extremely unstable! From the moment I walked in the door he was very rude.After telling me he was booked I desperately asked if there was anything he could do to help me at least figure out what was wrong with my car (because I know a diagnostic test takes like ten minutes..and I was happy to pay for it). I thought he might say no but I had no idea he was going to completely flip out! He began screaming, cussing and literally lunged at me! If he can treat a pregnant woman like this I can only imagine how he will treat you, and I highly doubt he cares much about the quality of service he provides! I was able to get much kinder help from a local oil change shop, and didnt get screamed at once ;) im surprised Island Import Garage is still in business. This man would be better off in jail. RUN or he just might attack you, no joke! read more

SCAMMERS- I'm spending time during my vacation writing this because I couldn't let another day pass without writing a truthful review about this awful business that takes advantage of people who don't know about cars. I came in on a Thursday to get my oil changed and received a call from Harold that my cabin air filter needs to be replaced and would I like to have it done? Sure, what do I know. I go pick up the car and bring it home (in my military uniform, you'd think they wouldn't scam a service member but here we are). The air doesn't work at all (max blast, defroster, heat, AC, nothing) but I was leaving for Whistler for the weekend and decided to call and take care of it Monday (wasn't using my car for the trip so not urgent to get fixed). I call them on Monday to let them know something got messed up with the air when the cabin air filter was replaced because I was getting 0 airflow. They say they have time to look at it Wednesday (have to skip another half day of work for this). I drop off at 8am and Harold calls around 1pm saying "ok so the electrical component of your blower fan isn't working- the fan works fine but the electrical component that drives the fan doesn't work. We know this because we set the fan up to jumper cables and it still works. But we suggest you replace the entire thing because it's a gamble to just replace the electrical component and not replace the fan because the fan may be making the component fail. So we're quoting you $750." I was frustrated and asked why my air worked perfectly fine when I brought it in and then they replace the air filter during the 3 hours they had it and the air stops working- why am I being held responsible and out 800 dollars to fix it? He said "it's a really weird coincidence but they have nothing to do with eachother." Feeling like I had no other choice I gave them the go ahead to fix it. I had a very strange feeling in my gut that they were taking advantage of me and how weird of a "coincidence" this was. I called my friend who has replaced everything in his car up to and including rebuilding his engine and asked what he thought. He said it would be an extremely strange coincidence and unfortunately they are probably taking advantage of me because I don't know any better. He said he'd take a look at it. My other friend who has taken apart and fixed electrical components on a 2000 E class Mercedes (mine is a 2010 C class) said that component rarely fails in these cars and should last a lot longer and that it sounds fishy- and that their quote sounds awfully high. He also said he'd take a look at it. I called back maybe 10 minutes after Harold had called me and said "nevermind, please don't fix it, my friend who works on cars said he will take a look at it." I go in to pick it up still feeling suspicious and the woman at the front counter was very snappy with me while she was typing up my paper. I asked to speak with Harold and she said he had gone to lunch. So I started explaining my suspicions to her and she cut me off and said "I'll go get Harold then" interesting, I thought he'd gone to lunch. I confronted him about how strange it sounded that this component broke the same time they had the car while they were replacing the air filter. He just shrugged and said yea it is. As I went on he cut me off and said "I don't know why you're upset, the air works again" now I'm furious and say "excuse me? So you're telling me if I had never come in to pick it up myself so my friends who know about cars can look at it, you would have fixed a component that was never actually failed and charged me $800??" And all he had to say was "well no I wasn't going to fix it because you called back and said not to" only after I asked my friends and had a suspicious feeling!!! I went to my car and it worked and still works to this day (2 weeks later) and think that the electrical component had never failed. I went to the car shop on the NAS Whidbey base because those guys are trustworthy and awesome dudes and explained the situation to them (I wanted to get their feedback to see if I was acting crazy) and they shook their heads with a small laugh and said "those guys were trying to make a little extra money during the Christmas holidays. My guess is they unplugged the fan while they changed your air filter on accident- but should've seen that when you brought it back in and it should've been a quick easy free of charge fix. Or they did it intentionally knowing you'd come back in needing it "fixed" and charge you an arm and a leg to fix it because they know most people don't know about cars." Such a shame and it makes me sick to my stomach that these people sleep at night scamming people like this- and a service member no less! I really hope customers read my review before going here and it deters you- go somewhere else!!! read more

I had an emergency radiator problem and stopped by as this was one of the only import automotives in town. Not only was Harold rude, but he was a jackass and a liar saying that the parts were no longer available( i ordered them the next day). So..we travelled down the street to another shop and they gave us a good mechanic recommendation and confirmed that he is indeed a jackass. Will write a review for the awsome guys that helped us out after hours. Again, this guy has no idea what to do with vanagons and is full of it about parts availability. Pretty sad that he didnt respect someone who knows about their vehicle and has a doctorate education, he treated me like a retard. Do not recommend. read more

We have been taking our cars to Harold since 2005. Harold is very knowledgeable, does excellent work and is extremely honest.

Harold has been taking care of my Mercedes since 2003, it is the only doctor my car will let me take her to.
