Very helpful, they reviewed the brakes on my Subaru and said I still had some time, maybe six weeks to two months. Gave me an estimate for the work. I took the car home and brought it back in six weeks. They gave me new rear brakes for the original quote. They are a very honest and a good repair shop, I’m glad to know that I can always take my a Subaru to a reliable repair shop!

Big job that showed me the importance of choosing the right team to support you. I chose well with Walter and those at GT. I will be bringing my Mercedes and my VW to Walter for all my important work. Reasonable, thorough, and completely transparent.

GT Imports Automotive is fantastic! They’re very helpful and have great communication throughout the whole process. Their prices are reasonable, and the work was done right on time — way better than going to the dealership. We had our 2020 Jaguar F-Pace serviced, and they addressed all our concerns, did a full inspection, and even gave us helpful mileage-based service tips. I’d definitely recommend them and will be bringing our other vehicle here as well!

They diagnosed my car and fixed my CB boot on my 4 wheel drive car that was damaged and leaking lubricant. Moreover they inspected everything else on my car to make sure it’s running well and if there’s anything I should worry about despite my request of only checking the front lower axels which I greatly appreciated. They got the job done in a timely manner so I didn’t have to wait long and they create a comfortable atmosphere around their workplace, which is reflected in their communication towards their customers and makes the whole experience that much better. I have no complaints and will continue to take my car there whenever needed for their professional expertise. I’m very pleased and I recommend this company for anyone looking for the job to get done with care and commitment!
