I called Central Import 24 hours before a long road trip because my check engine light came on with a "drivetrain malfunction, transmission service required" warning. Terry told me to bring it right in, no hesitation.

A couple of hours later he called back. Everything checked out fine, safe to drive, no charge. On top of that, they washed the car before handing it back.

I've never had an experience like this at a garage. No upselling, no manufactured problem, just an honest check and genuine care about getting me on the road safely. Terry and the team at Central Import have earned a customer for life. Can't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience at Central Import. I came in to have a leak checked on my BMW and Terry and team were amazing - it ended up just being my AC leaking (normal) and I wasn't even charged. Will definitely be back if I have any other issues with my car. Thank you so much!

Terry was extremely helpful in guiding me through a complicated electrical repair. Great customer service and overall support. I will definitely go back for any needs on my Q5.

Really happy I brought my BMW to this garage. Terry and Darko were awesome! Super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and genuinely helpful. They made the whole check-up feel straightforward and stress-free. Would definitely recommend them.

Didn't know it was possible to love a service shop but here we are. Every single experience I've had with Central has been incredible.

From routine maintenance to big ticket fixes, I've always known that my Mercedes was in excellent hands. Desmond, Terry, and the rest of the team are incredibly skilled at what they do, and have never tried to pressure or upsell. They're honest, transparent, and an excellent source of advice when it comes to German cars.

Taking my car to Central has saved me a LOT of money thanks to their super competitive rates and the fact that they never push repairs that you don’t absolutely need.

I've recommended countless friends to Central and every single one has been delighted as well. An absolute gem of a shop.

I cannot recommend Desmond and his team enough, he is hands-down the most honest mechanic I’ve ever met. I brought my Audi in for a clicking noise that ended up needing new axles and engine mounts (a ~$6,500 job at the dealer). Instead of quoting me and taking my money, Desmond advised me to check if it was covered under my warranty first. He even charged me only half the usual inspection fee for his time! He genuinely cares about his customers over making a quick buck, and his standard rates are basically 50% of what the dealership charges. This is absolutely where I’ll be taking my vehicles when my manufacturer’s warranty is done

I’ve been using Central Import for all my maintenance needs over the last couple of years, and I’ve only had the best experiences with them. Just recently, my battery died and needed to be replaced, and they were able to squeeze me in without an appointment. I dropped my car off in the afternoon and had it back the next morning. Cannot recommend them enough!
