I finally found someone who is actually honest and doesn't try to sell me on " if it's not this it could be that " I Live in Central California and I needed someone to fix my granddaughter's car when I couldn't make it out there she lives in Lakewood and after testing out other mechanics I found him to be very honest in his diagnosis to the problem. I will be using him a lot more and not worrying if he will try to sell my granddaughter extras. Thanks Matt read more

Matt's has been my go-to mechanic for 13 years & counting. Multiple vehicles. All the family vehicles. Never an issue, always truly looking out for the customers' best interest. The last honest mechanic... read more

Matt's Imports - got no appropriate auto pix, but took this a month ago in Hawaii... - Auto Repair Near Me - Cypress, California

Matt was very friendly and his prices are reasonable! I paid less here than what I have been paying for years for an oil change. Matt is honest and he will give suggestions for what your car may need and he is not pushy. He owns this business and I am all for supporting small owned businesses rather than big companies. I'm so glad I found Matt and decided to give his business a chance! (: read more

Honest, friendly and simply amazing. Matt will fix your car without trying to convince you that something else needs to be fixed. You can totally trust him. read more

I like the fact that they were really honest what my car needed - ive always hated going to the dealership for my car maintenance cause it would take the whole day. I scheduled an appt and everything was done like in 40 min (oil change and just overall car check) prices were fair and i will definitely go there again. read more

Referred To Matt by Steve at Cypress Muffler for my daily 1983 volvo 240 GL manual. I had some immediate repairs that needed to be complete. 2 motor mounts and 1 trans mount. I also needed my speedo cable replaced along with new housing to stop a small leak where the cable goes into the transmission on the passenger side. Both odometer and speedometer did not work. Lastly, I had a small fuel line leak so I was unable to fill my gas tank past half way. If i did there would be obvious leaks that smelt and gave me horrible gas mileage. Matt is prompt and set me up with an appointment the following week. He told me the new speedo cable will fix the speedometer needle but may not fix the odometer reading if the odometer gear is bad. Turns out the speedometer works great and the odometer still doesnt due to a bad gear. I will save that service for another time. The car drives great with all 3 mounts replaced and the small leaks both from transmission and fuel lines are fixed. Matt delievered on his promise to complete work same day I dropped off my Volvo. His knowledge is extensive and his prices are fair. I already recommended my friend who is local and will continue recommending people to Matt. Thank you! read more

Should have written this review years ago! Been taking all my cars to Matt for years. Besides running the best mechanic shop I've come across, Matt is absolutely 100% fair and honest. The auto repair business can include some shifty chatacters, Lord knows I have seen those. But ever since I discovered Matt's Imports, i trust Matt and his team to keep my fam safe in their cars, and not feel like I got ripped off. Matt tells you what needs work, but also suggests things can wait. Never one to force unnecessary services on you, Matt is a breath of fresh air whenever things go bad on your cars. The best! read more

Can't believe it's been 3 years and ongoing. My car battery died on Monday and I called Matt about the issue. He was able to order me a new battery and said to bring my car over to the shop. Didn't have an appointment but he squeezed me in anyway and got my car out in less than 2-3 hours. I highly recommend this shop for all oil change and other services. Matt and the others had been taking care of my car for long time without an issue. read more

I've been going to Matt's for a few years, and he is the best mechanic I've found hands down. He's honest, very personable, and a straight shooter who actually wants to save his customers both their time and money. One of my cars was on its last legs, and even though I wanted to keep it because of its sentimental value, he told me it was time to say goodbye instead of fixing the existing problem just to have another come up a few months down the road. Although I don't live in Cypress, taking my cars to Matt's is a no-brainer as he and his mechanics are exceptional. I always refer him to family and friends whenever possible, knowing they'll be thrilled with his service. Thank you, Matt! read more

Came here on a recommendation. Glad I did! Matt and his whole team are awesome. Besides loving the family vibe, the shop was clean and you could tell they take care of each individual customer. I'm very picky with who touches my car, but Matt's Imports won me over. Came in for a rotor/brake replacement and an oil change. All I can say is wow. Great customer service, fair pricing, fast and timely. They made a customer for life. read more

Services: Exhaust, General repairs & maintenance Matt is one of the most honest mechanics I've had the pleasure of meeting, and his prices are very reasonable. He'll make sure to take great care of your car, and you'll be very pleased with his services! read more

I've been here twice since my last mechanic passed and I cannot recommend Matt enough. He's extremely honest and hardworking. I appreciate him taking each opportunity to teach me something and tell me what work takes priority and (which don't). That's not something easy to find in a mechanic. I'll be coming back for all of my automotive needs. read more

I won't take my car to anyone else! Matt is incredibly knowledgeable! When I was considering buying a used car - he checked out potential issues in the car BEFORE I bought it, saving me time and money. Super honest, affordable, and friendly. Don't go anywhere else! read more

Thanks Matt for installing a catalytic converter protector on my Prius! Great service!

My Audi A6 Engine warning came on a week ago so I made an Appointment with Matt for the first time being new to the OC area... even though the engine light disappeared the day of my appointment. Matt and his crew diagnosed the car and generated a full report of the potential issues referencing the intermittent codes, which stated there was a vacuum Leak or the ECM software needed updating by the dealer.... Turns out it was the latter. His diagnosis charge was fair and minimal. Matt and his crew was straightforward, honest, helpful in documenting and explaining the Issue and thus won my Business in the future! ~Kenny read more

Matt is hands down the best interaction and experience I've had when it comes to dealing with car issues. While it the experience was short-lived, I've had to call Matt a couple times for my partners car and then had to bring my own car in to get looked at, and turns out it's an issue Matt doesn't work on (transmission); however he's passionate about what he does so he did some homework to educate himself on the weird issue with my car, then referred me to a shop in Hawaiian Gardens. My brother and our family friend not only recommended Matt but raves about how honest and kind he is, and I immediately felt that when I met him and just speaking over the phone. It was important for me to write a review because as a young girl, it's easy for me to feel intimated and taken advantage of when I step foot in a car repair shop, but I didn't feel any of that with Matt. Thank you for your help even though it was short, while I hope to not have anymore car issues, when I do, I'll be sure to come back! Thanks so much!! - Mika read more

Honest, reliable and they do quality work. As much as I detest getting work done on my car, I trust Matt and know they will do it right the first time! read more

Matt was very personable and also trustworthy. I was comfortable with him being my first time here, will definitely be coming back

Matt is honest, friendly and fair. He is our go to mechanic on all our cars.

Matt's Imports has been our tried and true mechanic for several years. When our starter went out a few months ago and we had to get our vehicle towed, they were able to pick up our part, have it installed and back to us the very same day, knowing we are a busy single vehicle household. They have never tried to nickel and dime us, nor find a multitude of outlandish things that need fixing. Thank you Matt's Imports for always being reliable and honest. read more

Sadly my former Mechanic passed away, and I was in a pickle finding a honest place to take my BMW for maintenance and repair. The former mechanic was a wonderful honest man and the people that worked for him turned out to be my friends. Those people told me to go to Matts Imports. Matt was very helpful in informing me about the state of the car and the service that was done was reasonable priced. He reset the computer for free and only charged me for the work that had to be done! I feel that he and his family can be trusted! I recommend his garage to anyone. Thank you Matt for being there! read more

I brought my car in for an oil and filter change. Matt's price was lower than everybody by $20. He uses Mobile 1 synthetic oil. Matt called me before my appt to confirm the year and make of my vehicle to make sure he had the proper filter and o-rings. Very friendly and on time service. I will go back. read more

I was there for oil and transmission fluid change. Matt was super friendly and professional. He knows exactly what is best for your vehicle. He was very clear in his explanation which was very easy to understand. I've tried to get my car in many different places before, but it's hard to find a trustworthy place that doesn't try to rip you off (or pushing unnecessary services). Awesome service for a very good price : ) read more

Matt is a superb guy. Good upstanding mechanic. Straight shot guy! Will not stiff you or rip you off!! Highly recommended!!!

Matt does not disappoint. I have gone to another mechanic in Los Alamitos for a few years. My problem with this shop and they would keep my car for WEEKS.... not just one, but several!!! Other family members have been going to Matt for years and now I know why! I contacted Matt to look at my 1997 4Runner. I thought there was a leak. I set up an appointment with him. He said to bring the truck in later that week if it was convenient for me. Went into his shop and instantly, I felt warm and welcomed. No lines of others waiting. Although Matt has other mechanics that help, he actually looks and works on your car himself. I left my car there in the morning. I informed him of my concerns. He said he would take a look and check everything out. Any other mechanic or car repair shop probably would've taken me for granted with this "leak" concern and charge me a hefty sum to "repair." Matt? Did I neglect to tell you just how honest he is? It goes hand in hand with they type of guy he is, how much he values his workmanship and high work ethics. He calls me and says, "I checked you truck thoroughly and I can't seem to find the leak you were referring to. You were probably noticing the ac condensation which is absolutely normal. Upon checking your vehicle, I couldn't find a thing wrong. A few minor things like an oil change (because your oil appears dark), a new engine air filter and windshield wipers. Other than that, your car is in great condition and has a life of a car with 20,000 miles on it!" Anyone else could have hit a home run with this non existent issue and charge a ying-yang to "repair." Not Matt. He is a man of integrity and of God, so you know he runs a good honest business! I will ALWAYS come back to Matt and will not hesitate to say a good word to others! Thanks again Matt. read more

Let me begin the review by saying, I one hundred percent agree with all the 5 ratings for Matt's Import and a little confused by the ones that are less than 5. May be they just got confused Matt's import with someone else. Anyways, my experience with Matt has nothing short of amazing. As the Yelp rating tool says when giving someone 5 stars "As good as it gets!". Matt's Imports is as good as it gets. I have been Matt's customer for around 6 yrs now. I was introduced to Matt by one of my colleague and I will always be thankful to him for that. In this age and time, its hard to find someone like Matt who is as honest and caring as any. He is great to work with. So far I have serviced my 5 cars with him, including 3 which were on lease but I didnt have the service coverage for them during my lease term. I have not single bad experience, regret or anything close to that so far. I highly recommend anyone looking for a honest car servicing place to Matt's Imports. My only wish, Matt, please start taking Saturday appointments as well. I know you wont because of your belief in better work life balance and all, but no harm in trying :) read more

I most HIGHLY recommend this place. Matt, his son and mechanics are top notch. We use them for both our Lexus IS350 (which had some major issues) and Dodge Challenger hemi R/T. Both cars run perfect now. Extremely fair prices and the attention to detail is outstanding. Anything their shop doesn't handle he has a network of professionals to refer you to. Plus the customer service is amazing. Matt is a total people person, he and his crew are and instantly likable. No more expensive and incompetent dealerships and repair shops. Matt is our mechanic for life. When you find a great mechanic, keep him. read more

Thank you, Matt for being so helpful and kind in servicing my car this morning. My steering wheel was making squeaky noises. And after you topped off the power steering fluid, it hasn't made any noise. You could have charged me for your service and the fluid, but you graciously declined. You even gave me the remaining fluid to take home. I rarely come across this level of generosity. My positive experience at Matt's Imports remained as the bright spot of my day. I will definitely tell others about my awesome experience at Matt's. And hopefully, they can take their cars there in the future. read more

Honest, reasonable prices and quick service. Matt (and everyone in the shop) is friendly and knowledgeable and we totally trust them to give us the best advice. read more

What can I say about Matt that hasn't already been said? I guess I'll just have to echo what everyone else has said that has wrote a review on Matt. And that's what I mean, its a review on Matt not Matt's Imports. Don't get me wrong, his shop is top notch. The work is always perfect, timely & guaranteed. But the star of the show is definitely Matt & his family. When I call his shop for repairs I have to catch myself when he answers the phone because on numerous occasions I've just said "Hi Matt, how you been? So I have *insert problem*" without ever identifying who I am. The reason for this is Matt makes you part of his family. You feel like you don't have to identify yourself because he will know who you are on voice alone. Of course that's impossible as this man has way too many clients to keep track of them all, let alone by voice over the phone. Matt is one of those guys that you don't find in the world much anymore. He's the type of guy to give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. The weird thing is I use to stress when I had car trouble, but now when it happens I see the glass half full by thinking "well at least I can catch up with Matt and see how everything is". This review has been a long time coming as I've been going to his shop for about a good number of years now. Hes worked on everything from my wife's Toyota to my Infiniti, BMW and now my AMG. In summary, if you want the best service possible go see Matt and his family. Soon enough you'll be part of that family too. read more

Matt's Imports is a really wonderful shop. He's very honest which I really needed at this time for uncertainties with my car. He helped confirm transmission issues with my car really quickly and then referred me to another nearby mechanic that's really good when it was a job that there garage didn't specialize in doing to make sure it was done right. Matt is a really good guy and I would highly recommend him in cases where you aren't sure what to do like I was in read more

Matt is great! Called for an oil change. Got me in the next day. Very reasonably priced. Finished within 30 minutes. Excellent customer service. Went above and beyond the services I asked, changed my key battery. Would definitely recommend checking out Matt!! read more

Friendly staff. I was having trouble finding a mechanic for my specific car, but Matt wasn't intimidated and took on the job the next day.

This mechanic...this Man named Matt is the best mechanic ever. But....the best part about him is that he is the most honest person you will ever meet. You will never be pressured into anything unnecessary. He's pure...and if you want the greatest service ever take your vehicle to Matts imports cypress ..you will not be disappointed read more

It is truly rare to come across hardworking and honest shops. From the minute you speak to him on the phone, to the time you meet him in person his honesty and kind personality leaves you feeling comfortable that your car is in good hands. They prompt and the level of service is impeccable. Did I mention his wait area/ office is so clean and comfortable that I felt safe and at home. Hate to promote him cause then he'll become more busy but in all honesty he deserves it ! Thanks Matt !! read more

Matt's Imports - The white knight getting a brake change! - Auto Repair Near Me - Cypress, California

I've been taking my cars to Matt for a few years now. I'm so glad I found him on Yelp. He's beyond friendly and knowledgeable. His prices are fair and when he discovers something wrong with a car, he's not pushy about getting it fixed. For example, when I went in a few weeks ago for an oil change, I complained that my heater seems to take a long time to get going. He determined that there's a temperature gauge that needs to be replaced, but made it clear it's not urgent. I couldn't say enough good things about him! read more

I admittedly know nothing about cars, so it's awesome and reassuring to have a mechanic I trust. Matt is super nice and personable and his prices are fair and reasonable. We take all three of our cars (a Volvo and two Mercedes) to Matt and he and his team do a great job every time. I'm happy we found Matt's Imports and I definitely recommend taking your car to Matt. read more

Matt and his team of knowledgeable mechanics are the best. Very honest, transparent and hardworking. Got a qoute elsewhere to fix all the problems in my car and it was more than my car is worth. Went to Matt and qouted me a very fair price for what is really need to be done. Matt and his team just earned another customer. read more

Matt and his team are excellent. I've been taking my cars to Matt, and the service and quality are the best. He is one of the most honest mechanics you will ever meet. He is very knowledgeable and never pushes unnecessary repairs. It's so awesome to have a kind, trustworthy, and knowledgeable mechanic. read more

I would give more stars if I could. The garage is in a plaza and may be hard to find due to the proximity of multiple competitor mechanics in the area. A bonus is that you can drop off your car off-hours through a mail slot. I chose this place because I have an 87' Volvo 240, and I wanted to find a trusted mechanic that specifically knows Volvos. Matt is definitely the guy. Explained the issues to me in a clear manner and was extremely responsive to my questions. Did not push any services on me whatsoever, which meant he was essentially losing money. I will definitely come back if there are any future problems. While waiting in line, I could tell the other customers had extreme respect for Matt, and he addressed them on a first name basis. Prices are very fair. read more
