GT Imports Automotive Repair

If you live in Magnolia Center, you know your car isn’t just transportation—it’s how you navigate daily life.

That’s where GT Imports Automotive Repair comes in. Located just minutes away at 10180 Hole Avenue, Suite 100, we’re your local, family-owned auto repair shop serving Magnolia Center drivers with dealership-level expertise—without the dealership attitude or pricing.

A Local Auto Repair Shop That Understands Magnolia Center Driving

Magnolia Center is surrounded by some of Riverside’s busiest corridors. Daily driving here often means:

  • Heavy traffic along Magnolia Ave & the 91

  • Hot summer temperatures that strain A/C systems and engines

  • Frequent short trips that wear out brakes faster

  • Older neighborhood roads that can impact suspension and alignment

We don’t just work on cars—we solve problems that are specific to how and where you drive.

    Top notch communication and friendliness. Only reason for not giving the extra star, we’ve only had the car back 1-2 days. But I’m sure the work was good.

    I spent a few weeks researching shops. I ended up working with Walter and Oscar on a cross-country purchase. GT performed a detailed pre-purchase inspection of a 22 year old vehicle that came back with comprehensive notes and details and pics. The work from GT ultimately fueled my decision to make a purchase. Very knowledgeable shop - everyone I spoke to clearly knows cars. Above all, the feedback and communication I received was above and beyond what I am used to, maybe it's time to move closer to this shop

    I recently had the 12V auxiliary battery replaced on my Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e at GT. The experience was excellent from start to finish.GT began with a diagnostic battery test to confirm replacement was necessary, rather than proceeding on assumption. The initial quote was transparent, with no additional or hidden charges — the final invoice matched the estimate exactly.After installation, the technicians performed a post-service vehicle check. They noted a few prior low-voltage warnings in the system and advised these should clear following the new battery installation, which they did.Walter provided the service and was both highly professional and courteous throughout. I would recommend GT for hybrid electrical work based on the thoroughness, pricing transparency, and customer care demonstrated.

    Spoke with Carlos about repairing a leaking main seal on our 2018 Mercedes Benz S560. He was very accommodating and they did an excellent job on the vehicle for less than half the price of the local dealership. The job took two days and I would recommend them for future work.
