I highly recommend Mike. He is extremely good at what he does, which is restoring older cars. We had him fix my dad's Ferrari. Mike's diligence and meticulous work had her purring up a storm again. He is also extremely honest - hard to find in a mechanic nowadays. He charges very fair prices and puts in that extra effort out of his generosity. Go see Mike! read more

Mike just sold my 1995 Morgan Plus 8. He did a nice job getting the car ready for sale. He charged me 15% for his services plus about $6,000 for repairs, which most were not approved in advance. He then had the buyer send 2 payments. A payment to him for his services and the remainder to me. He never gave me proper receipts for these repairs. He seemed very knowledgeable about repairing cars but did not trust me to pay for his services. I feel that he was hiding the real cost of his services from me. read more

I was 130 miles from home when my MGTC overheated and its radiator would not hold water. After contacting local MG drivers about a reputable and knowledgeable mechanic, there was no doubt but that I should have the car towed to Mike's Imports & Engines. Mike made time to look over my car and deal with the problem quickly so I could proceed home in my car and not have to make a return trip to pick it up some days later. He's knowledgeable, trustworthy, and his charge was very reasonable. I wish Mike's shop was closer to my home so I could use him for regular work. read more

My British car mechanic retired and I was in need of a new one that could replace him. Luckily, I found Mike of Mike's Imports & Engines to fill that loss. I just picked up my car today, 73 Triumph TR 6, and the work he did is outstanding. His attention to detail and getting it right was evident in his work product. His knowledge of the car and his ability to trouble shoot my problems was impressive. He's "old school" which is perfect when working on a 1973 car. He truly knows the inside and outside of old British cars and he can be trusted to do the job right. The car was completed on time and when promised. I've ordered parts for our next project. I've gone through 3 mechanics, they are hard to find for my car. Mike is the best so far. Lastly, he ALWAYS answers his phone. read more

I was surprised with his knowledge of Porsches, which did raise my comfort level. His shop was full of MGs. I would strongly recommend him. read more

Great mechanic, honest, fair pricing. October 2017, second day of the Santa Rosa fire disaster, Mike did some repair work on my 1995 Buick Roadmaster. He did a fine job, on time, at a fair price. I am posting now, because the 2018 ca. fires reminded me to. Mike Celi read more

I was in a bind en route from wine country back to the Bay Area. It was a late sat evening and started to have car trouble, the closest auto repair to the freeway that was open was Mike's. Did I get lucky. Mike was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I had to leave my car overnight so he could fix it the next day and he definitely helped in accommodating my needs. He is fair, honest and an overall awesome mechanic. He'd my regular go to guy if I'm in the area. read more

HONEST MECHANIC!! I almost got ripped off at Midas on College Ave. They wanted to charge me over $400 to replace my alternator. My friend recommended Mike's and called to see how much it should cost and Mike said about $225. They took my car last minute, repaired it quickly and recharged my A/C all for under $250. And, on top of that they are all really nice and know what good customer service is. Thanks Mike's imports for restoring my faith in humanity! read more

I dropped my car off to fix and idle issue. 3 weeks pass with no word so I went to the shop . He said he's working on cleaning a pcv valve. I told him in the beginning I cleaned it. He replaced my battery and threw away my 300 dollar optima battery " that was just tested and passed" with out consulting me , charged me 40 just to install said battery . Changed my oil with out consulting me , also charged me 110 bucks to do it. 5 bucks for wiper fluid that I didn't ask for . 9 bucks for a drain plug that was fine . All of this took 4 weeks and in that time I was not consulted once . I was charged over 600 dollars. The absolute worst mechanic experience I've had . No communication , took a month , was charged for things I did not approve that were of poor quality in comparison to what was in the car when dropped off. read more

Mike's is the finest mechanic anyone could ever meet. His attention to detail is outstanding and his knowledge of the automobile is unmatched, regardless of the manufacturer. For 20 plus years I've known Mike. During those years he's rebuilt or fixed and serviced the long list of makes and models I've brought him. The list reads as follows: Mazda, Honda, Saab, Jeep, Ford, BMW, & Mercedes Benz. Regardless of the make or model a person drives, Mike is the preferred choice. A true Master Mechanic! John M. read more

I have owned a 1948 MGTC since 1985. 1990, after moving to Santa Rosa, had trouble finding help for my antique auto. Then I found Mike Kostakis. He's a knight in shinning armor! My husband is the same age as my car. Mike does not look at a woman and see $$$ Prices are fair. He can explain things carefully. My auto at 70 years old is becoming delicate & an needs the TLC that only Mike can offer. Mike specializes in imports, but occasionally I see American cars, too. Mike is The Best, great location with Parkside Cafe in the next block. Take your import or classic car to Mike's. read more

Mike's Imports & Engines - Mike keeps "Froggy" my 1948 MGTC hopping along the roads for years and years. Betz Miller - Auto Repair Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

My 1996 Mercury started making a loud engine noise, so Mike opened it up and found low compression in one cylinder with no obvious breakage. After much discussion, we decided to swap out the engine. He and his team had to work real hard on this, because it is a transverse engine in a tight space. They did a great job. Now I'm cruisin' down the freeway with this engine purring quietly. His price was fair, and he even gave me a discount and guaranteed his work. It's great when you can trust a mechanic. I do. read more

Where to begin?... After having been dealing with another mechanic shop for a few years soley after literally feeling like I had been Molested by them every single time..but with a british accent .. I had finally had enough. I didn't know where else to go? where does one take a European car, or any car if you have no relationship with a mechanic?. I'll just say this: A lady after hearing me complain about the prices I have paid at my old mechanics said" Got to my guy, he's always been good to me, he's the only guy I go to". So, I had a car problem a BIG ONE... my old mechanic quoted me with a straight, calm, emotionless, no hey I'm sorry- voice, "$3,800 out the door". I had had enough of this "door" and decided to hunt for a new more reasonable door. Brought the car to Mike, didn't tell him my other mechanic's quote. he quoted me $2,400. THAT'S QUITE A DIFFERENT DOOR!. Mike seems incredibly fair, understanding that not everyone is rich who has a rich man's car brand. Did brake work FOR FREE!!!! and apparently went over my car without me having to tell him to do so.. told me about things that weren't working that I already knew about.. which impressed me. Not only did he fix what he did but he checked around the car and saw what else was what. My first experience with Mike 5 stars all the way. I hope I never have to see a mechanic again, but if I do. I would be grateful if Mike will accept my car. Thank you! read more

Mike works on my wife's Durango. Great prices and superb work. Mike is easy to talk to, very helpful and runs a great shop. He referred me to a motorcycle mechanic that was every bit as good. He gets all of our business and we always refer our friends and family to Mike. read more

great mechanic. concise diagnosis. fair pricing and fast turn around. great communication. read more

My first experience with Mike - my son's engine blew. He gave a quote to fix it (I lived in Chico then.) When he called to say it was done and get my credit card number it was $150 less than quoted! Said some things he thought he would need to do were easier than expected. SInce then, have moved to Santa Rosa and story has been the same with all 4 family cars. Can even hear a funny noise, drive by and he has stopped work to listen for an instant and several times has quickly fixed it. Nobody else we will let touch our Toyota family! read more

While passing through the area my '66 Sunbeam Tiger began to leak oil at the remote oil filter. Mike agreed to fit me into a busy schedule. Too many mechanics have never seen a Sunbeam Tiger or its complicated remote oil filter - Mike knew the marque well. Soon the leak was repaired and for a fair price. I believe Mike to be one of the state's top mechanics and recommend his shop to anyone. read more

I'm grateful Mike was able to get me in on short notice for a repair that needed to be done right away. I work all week and Saturday is the only day I can go to a mechanic. His shop was very busy that day but he made time. He knew right away what was needed, and it works fine now. read more

MIke's is my go to place. Honest prices and work. I have a VW which means my engine light is ALWAYS on. I took it to Mikes for a second opinion after one mechanic told me I needed to replace multiple engine parts and didn't even spend much time looking at it before they stated so. Mike was extremely thorough, and made it a point to find the real issue before jumping to conclusion. Mike and his staff are the best. My car is running great again! I will definitely take it here next time I have an issue. read more

Recently moved to Santa Rosa and found Mike via YELP. He has worked on my 59 MGA and 51 MGTD and they are running better than ever! His knowledge is amazing and he has been able to fix all the issues that come with owning 60 year old cars. He is truly a FIND... read more

Had our car smogged here! Very knowledgeable as other places wouldn't smog our Prius even though the DMV says it's mandatory .Thanks Mark!

I was referred to this shop by Les Schwab after getting a "fix it" ticket for one of my tail lights on my car. I went down there that same day, and there was no parking aside from one street parking spot, so I took it and headed towards the office door, which was closed and had no information on the door, it was just locked. So I walked to the open garage hoping someone would see me. The workers whom were working on other vehicles couldn't have been bothered with me, even though they looked in my direction a few times and I tried flagging them down. I figured they were too busy and left a little miffed, but I understood I mean after all I thought this was an isolated incident. So I went ahead and about a week later, I call not once but twice, ensuring that I was coming during their open business hours. I got voicemail each time. I went down there, thinking surely they could help me out-maybe they couldn't hear the phone ringing or something. I went down had the same parking issue, and once again, the office door was locked, and looked like it wasn't even open for business. So, I once again walked over to the open garage where I saw three people tinkering and working on other small things in the shop. So I stood and waited, for ten minutes for someone to notice me, they looked a few times in my direction, but continued to work, ignoring me completely. I tried to flag them down, but to no avail. Needless to say I was quite surprised considering the high reviews of this place. I will never go there again. I would suggest that they actually have an office where people can come and walk into and actually be able to talk to a living person. read more
