I just moved to the area and was looking for a good BMW repair shop to replace a battery and figure out a noise in the drive train that I could not figure out. I found Pro Imports on Google and read the great reviews so I decided to give them a shot. I am very pleased with the level of service and value I received during my visit and they certainly earned my business. They quickly figured out the problem with my car and provided very fair pricing for the repair. Rich and his team are very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Very glad I gave this shop a try as I feel I found a trustworthy and honest repair shop. I highly recommend Pro Imports for all of your automotive needs.

Took my Ford Ranger up to Pro import because of a chirping noise. Rich and his shop took good care of my truck and got it fixed in a timely fashion! For a great price! Highly recommend pro imports!

Do most of the work on my vehicles myself. But some stuff is just too much without a lift. Always nervous about letting others work on my stuff and they made me feel confident that they were experienced and professional. Had a lingering squeak after replacing my clutch, but they had me back in as soon as I could get it back to them, and fixed it no questions asked which probably required dropping the transmission again. Which isnt a quick thing. Would highly recommend.

I had a serious with my BMW 230i convertible. It overheated and was pouring out coolant. Based on the issue the vehicle could not be driven. Not only did they have my car towed in for service they fixed the issue quickly and at a fair price. They even offered a military discount. The team was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We had been looking for a local source for my BMW and I am happy to say we found it here!!! Highly recommended.

They are all about Honesty.....I did a search on google and Pro Import came up and was highly rated. I decided to give them a try and was very impressed on their honest and reliable service. They fixed only what was necessary at a reasonable price. They also found another issue that they could of fixed but decided that it was not urgent nor posed a safety issue and left it alone saving me hundreds. I will definitely go back to Pro Import again.

Every driver should know this basic mantra of automobile ownership: stay away from the dealers. Not only do dealers employ some of the worst mechanics and business tactics in the industry, they also dont even WANT to fix cars. Dealers whole business model is based on selling you NEW cars, which includes honoring the manufacturers warranty when necessary, so thats the primary reason they even have a service department. Unless its a warranty-covered plug-and-play glitch in the new car, dealerships demonstrate that they dont want your repairs and maintenance business by ripping you off AND making problems worse. I love German automobiles, but their dealerships nasty habit of charging $400 for an oil change, $300 for an air filter, and $250 for a 74-point inspection is borderline-criminal.Pro Imports is what you really want: a local team whose advice and expertise you can trust to keep your machine in perfect working condition at a reasonable price with fantastic, personalized service.Theres a reason Pro Imports has a great reputation: the owners Rich and Kim EARN IT.

If youre looking for an auto repair place with honesty and integrity, the folks at Pro Import are the people for you. I was looking for a new place to take my Audi A6 because I got tired of the dealerships service dept and their penchant to recommend unnecessary services in order to bolster their bottom line.From my initial phone call with Andrew I felt a great sense of trust. He was very honest and knowledgeable, and saved me literally thousands of dollars in unnecessary repairs. These people will educate you and let you know exactly whats needed, along with expectations for the future. Im very happy to find a reliable new home for my vehicle repairs.

Had our A/C quit on us on our drive from FL to GA. Called a few places before calling Pro Import. Andrew is very professional and knowledgeable and made us feel like our vehicle was in good hands. We had our car back the next day with ice cold A/C! Would definitely recommend!

First of all, Rich and Kim are great people. Id honestly drop by this shop just to talk to them! But, I bought a 2011 BMW e90 that ended up having a lot of issues and Rich was able to get it running great again.Honestly, it wasnt the cheapest work Ive ever had done but I believe you get what you pay for. I can trust the work Rich has done and thats worth the money to me.I wont take my car anywhere else -- even for an oil change!Thanks for everything, Rich and Kim!

Pro Imports services my M5 and did so every bit as well or better than the dealer, but at a reasonable price. Pro Imports is my new “go to” for service on my BMW automobiles. Friendly and professional and with technical expertise. HIGHLY recommended!

A few months ago I needed a cam gear replaced, and it took me 3-4 weeks to decide the best route financially. The employees were very accommodating and let me keep my car there for a week when I went out of town in order to fix it during that time period, and they also let me order the part I needed online and have it shipped and stored at their shop. Excellent service and very kind people!! Especially Rich! I dont know anything about cars but he answered all of my questions (and I had a lot!) and he was very patient with me. Thanks again for helping me while I took time to figure out my options. And prices for their services were very reasonable!

We have been customers of Pro Imports for 18 years! Rich and his team are friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. He is trusted primarily because of his commitment to honesty and stellar work that fixes car problems the first time! We wouldnt take our Hondas anywhere else!

I was told I by the dealer service department that needed new rear shocks on my Infiniti. On a whim I contacted Pro Import and they worked me in to get the repairs done. After arriving, they quickly took my vehicle back, then I was told I did not need new shocks. Honest people, the price quoted before hand was reasonable, and they will definitely be my place for service from here on out.

Review №23

Pro Import was amazing! I have to caveat this with the fact that they didnt actually work on my car. They did diagnose it, get a new transmission, find a warranty on my car, and worked with the warranty company to make sure I was taken care of. They were incredibly communicative and helpful throughout the process! Unfortunately, the warranty company said it had to be towed to the original dealership I purchased from to do the work.I am so glad that I called them up (based on their awesome reviews), and will certainly be going back for work in the future.

I have been visiting Pro Import for years and have always received great service. I trust their advice and know that they will not recommend or charge me for something that is not needed. Good work at a fair price from good people. I would recommend.

Review №25

Pro Import, Rich and Kim, are the best. I have a 2013 325i. On my way to work one day last year, my oil light came on and I happened to be in front of Pro Import so I pulled in. Rich promptly popped the hood, told me I was about a half quart low, filled me up and sent me off to work with no charge. He sold me on great customer service and I have been back for several small issues and routine maintenance since. If you want great, friendly service, reasonable prices and high quality work without the long waits for appointments and high prices associated with the dealership, I strongly recommend Pro Import.

Love Pro Import! Always fast, friendly and reliable. Never tries to sell you anything you dont need or push you into any repairs, even when they give you recommendations for repairs. I will never trust the care of my car with anyone else. Rich and his team is awesome.

Review №28

Rich and Kim saved our trip.My wife and I were travelling the southeast in our 1997 Porsche Boxter, and were having a great time on the twisting roads in north Georgia. Just before noon, we took a ride up a mountain to Brasstown Bald, just east of Blairsville. When we reached the top, the car was leaking antifreeze. Needless to say, we were in a heap of trouble. Luckily we did have cell phone service, so we started making calls. My second call was to Pro Import...and am I lucky Kim answered. Immediately she understood our situation and was truly interested in helping any way she could.Fast forward a couple of hours (tow truck ride from Brasstown Bald to Gainesville), and we arrived at Pro Import around 3:00 PM. Rich agreed to do what he could to diagnose the issue that afternoon, order parts and complete the repair ASAP.We had hotel reservations in Helen, GA for the night, and now needed to rent a car to get there. Kim immediately stepped up and offered to take us to the car rental place...above and beyond anything we expected. Thanks again Kim.We received a phone call from Rich that evening, and it looked like a thermostat/water pump issue. Better than anything I had presumed. They installed a water pump and thermostat the next morning, and we were on our way by noon. The next day, Rich called to make sure everything was going okay with the car...first time I have had that happen!Of all possible scenarios, this had to be the best outcome I could imagine. Rich and Kim are true professionals. I wish I lived closer, they would be my default service provider.

They stand behind their work. If you have an issue, Rich will make it right. Their prices are competitive and theyre honest about what needs to be fixed and how long it may take. If you need a good mechanic without any BS go see them.

Pro Import is a local, family-owned business that is honest and dependable. As a family-owned business, Kim & Rich take pride in the quality of their work and ensure that no one leaves unhappy and take care of all customers and vehicles. All employees are clean-cut, friendly, and driven to get the job done accurately the first time. They have a very welcoming waiting room with complementary coffee, water, television, and WiFi if you need to work while your services are completed. You can tell Rich really takes pride in his business and employees. As a woman, it’s very difficult to find a dealership or repair shop you can trust with your vehicle without feeling like they are trying to upcharge you for every service. I wouldn’t take my 2005 and 2008 Volvo S-80s anywhere else.

Pro Import has been servicing my car for 13 years. My home is 40 minutes away, so taking my car there requires a bit of extra travel for me, but the effort is well worth it! Terrific service and honesty are the things that make me a satisfied customer. Love the new waiting area, too!!!

Took my audi to various different places including another import place in Gainesville and nobody knew what was wrong with my car. Took my car there and bam they found the problems quickly. But the craziest thing is the price!!!!! The most HONEST and helpful mechanics Ive encountered so far and Ive encountered a lot. I highly encourage you all to save your time researching and just take it there.

I have been using Pro Import for the last 6-7 years to care for my 1999 BMW 323i. In addition to regular maintenance visits they have been extremely responsive to issues that arose acutely, and worked me into the schedule on short notice when needed. They are knowledgeable about my particular vehicle, and have kept it operating like new. I appreciate having a home town shop to take care of the car, instead of having to drive to Athens or Atlanta to a dealership.

Ive known and have been doing business with Fred and Rich for years. Pro Imports is the only shop Ill take my S60 to along with my wifes Honda Pilot. My father has been driving his Volvos up from Kennesaw GA to Freds going back to his old 940 to his current S60 along with his Toyota Sequoia.If something needs to be fixed, itll be fixed.If it should be fixed, theyll let you know about it first.....then fix it.If it doesnt need to be fixed, it wont be fixed and told that it needed to be.

Whenever I contact Fred at Pro Import, I know that my car problem will be handled. Ive been a loyal customer for over ten years, and my car (now 14) is still running great. The mechanics at Pro Import are skilled and knowledgeable about Volvos, so I have confidence in their repairs. Ive had the regularly scheduled maintenance done there, along with brakes, batteries, light replacement, and different hoses. I am glad that there is a local garage that provides such service.

Review №58

OK, so who recommends a car service and repair shop, one that has imports in its name but does great work on domestic cars, too. Well when one stuns you with incredible dedication to doing the job right the first time, providing a clean, quiet lounge to do business - wi-fi included- while you wait, keeps you inform on progress, and, get this, does it at a reasonable price. What shop does that??? Well the owners, Rich & Kim Scott, do. You can tell it is part of their DNA. Nothing is fake here, just good old honesty, sincerity and respect. So if you want expertise at half of what dealerships charge, learn what I have learned. There might not be many quality repair shops. This one sure is.

I really appreciate the assistance I recieved from Pro Import. The fact that every other service dept I have used (mostly Mercedes serv dept ) has either changed their prices on us or just plain ripped us off, making car repair or even thinking of maintenance that has to be done, a daunting task. However, after finding online Pro Import and just the first call speaking with Kim & then the follow up call from Rich, he gave me prices on everything I had to have done & they didnt go up on the quote after the repairs were done. The wait area worked well even with 3 little ones. Thank you for your transparent pricing and honesty. They know what they are doing and are very professional with my Mercedes Diesel, I look forward to your assistance in the future. Thank you!

Started with Pro Volvo under the old owner (and old name) back when the local Gainesville Volvo dealership became a Nissan dealership. They have kept a 27 year old Volvo 240 going since the day I bought it. Under old ownership and new ownership with Rick and Kim, their unpublished motto is....be honest, provide what you promise and deliver it with a fair price. (Ok.....those are MY words, but they are welcome to use them if they want). They have also helped maintain a quarter million mile Chevrolet Trailblazer (GM....why not bring back the inline 6 for heavens sake?). I give exceedingly few reviews, but when you find something worth sharing, you share.

Review №67

Since I had to drive more than two hours to get to this place, I made appointment more than a week in advance and specifically on more than two occasions asked Rich if they had the right diagnostic computer to work on my 2012 Porsche Ceyenne. I in fact read them the exact 5 or six error codes I was getting. He assured me they can and they do.I Confirmed everything via texts as well. AC an wasnt quite working correctly and he felt fan blower most likely needed to be replaced he said. I wanted also my break pads to be checked. My main concern was getting all sorts of break software errors and felt like they were not correct and nothing wrong with break system, thus making sure he had the right tools to reset it softwarewise which he told me they could.Today after almost 2 1/2 hours of driving one way and both my wife and I taking a day off, he examined my car and after a few minutes informed us that only Porsche authorized dealership can fix the software and they are not able to do so !!!!!!!!!To add insult to injury he gave me a bill for $98 to tell me that !!!!!Besides the extreme frustration, this cost us time and money for the day close to possibly $500 or more !!So, whats wrong with this picture ???Would I use these folks or recommend them ??? Most likely NOT.

I took my car to this guy to get a wiring issue looked at in my BMW, kept the car for almost 4 days and then called me and told me that he didnt have enough time to be able to sit there and trace a bad wire or bad circuit board. isnt that what he supposed to specialize and if he works on German autos ? Im very displays than $165 later my car still not fixed, in fact it looks untouched.

I have a 1999 Mercedes E-320 v-6 4wd. It has only 132,000 miles at this time. It has been serviced by Pro Imports for the past five years.I have found the quality of their work to be excellent and significantly less costly then Mercedes dealership. Their estimates have been right in line and they stand behind the work on your vehicle. Any time there was a question about a repair they were more than willing to analyze the problem and fix it when necessary.I would highly recommend Pro Import to anyone who has a high end car.Bill Ott
