I was very pleased with the quality of service, and expertise the mechanics at Valley Import Center showed my car. I had a cracked oil pan, and needed it to be replaced. The quote they gave was very reasonable, and the time estimate to fix it was accurate which was helpful for a mom of 2 to plan her day! I really appreciated the honesty and attention to detail they gave. I will definitely return for car maintenance.
Moved to San Ramon a couple of months and found SR Import Center online. These guys charged me fair price, and told me what was wrong with my car, what needed immediate attention and what could wait.Honest mechanics are hard to find, once you find one youll keep coming back. Ill be back for all future repairs.Honest, professional and friendly. Thanks guys.
The guys at Valley Import Center are truly unique when it comes to the auto repair industry. They are straightforward and honest, and they desire to provide you with the best work possible. They’re not going to take any short cuts to provide you with a safe and lasting vehicle. They’ll get the job done right the very first time!
I would recommend this very honest business.They saved me a bunch of money: I went in thinking I had some problems with my alternator. but it turns out it was something else that I already fixed myself. Since I was already there, I decided to take care of some overdue routine maintenance and some bigger repairs (bad bushings) that Ive been putting off.
I brought my 2013 Prius in after the check hybrid system light came on. I was called after a diagnostic check was performed, and told I needed to replace the inverter. (very expensive). They took the time to check Toyotas recall list and actually found the part I needed was on the list. AND they called Toyota Walnut Creek and got me an appointment that day! Saved me a bundle of $$$! Color me impressed.Todd.San Ramon
The team here is always friendly, thorough, and timely. I definitely feel like they offer sound advice and are honest about what the car needs or doesnt need.
Great work, have used this business for over 30 years
I had such an AMAZING experience here. I was referred by my mother who does nothing but rave about how amazing they are. I was not disappointed!The car was turned over really quick, and they gave me the run down about what was happening with my car, and what they would recommend going forward. I also felt really confident about the price, which I feel like is hard to come by with shops. They were really upfront and I didnt feel like they were trying to get me to upgrade or buy services AT ALL. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would.
As usual Jeff and company did a great servicing on my car. Also I had a blowout and called them up from the freeway because I could not find the jack or lug wrench. They were able to tell me where to find them so I was able to put the spare on my car and head on over to their shop. They were also able to fit me in for a servicing. Excellent service and saved me on the freeway. Thanks!!!
We have been taking our cars to Valley Imports for about 18 years now and always get a high quality job done. They can fix cars and fix them good. They use quality parts and are very thorough. Not cheap but more than worth it for reliability. Owner run shop and it always shows. Tuesday the battery light comes on and I call Valley Imports. I know the battery is good, so Mark says dont drive around like that and bring it in that day as it most likely some type of Electrical problem. Accommodated me when I really needed it. Same afternoon they have it checked and diagnosed and I need a new alternator. Wednesday they do the repair and our car is rolling and we are back on the road in tip top shape that day. Happy Customer here. Thanks so much. I rely on this shop. TPF
Great service...highly recommed...
Their online appointment scheduling tool is great! I scheduled an appointment Sunday night, and they were able to see me Monday morning. I had high quality, efficient service. They were able to fix the AC in my car within two hours. They were very communicative and easy to work with as well. Special thanks to Mark and Jeff. Five stars!!!
Just Terrible ! Was charged $85 for a Brake inspection that wasnt disclosed at time of appointment scheduling only to learn after that other shops do it for free. When I asked about it I was told Oh well, to bad !Felling ripped off. Lots of auto shops in San Ramon... I would try one of the others.
As always, they are on time. I will continue to take my 10-year old SUV here.
This is the second time I have had a vehicle serviced at San Ramon Valley import center and both times have been amazing. They take great care of me and my cars. I recently purchased a used Lexus and took it in to have them look it over and do an oil change. Jeff was super helpful and informative. Took the time to assure me that I purchased a good car and gave me his recommendations on what needed to be done service wise. Ultimately the timing belt needed to be done but it was the length in which Jeff went to to reassure me that it was a crucial service. When I picked my car up he took the time to show me the old belt which was badly warped and cracked and in DESPERATE need of replacing. Once I saw that belt I knew it was absolutely necessary to do and he saved me THOUSANDS of dollars by recommending the service. So while no one ever wants to spend money on a car service I’d much rather pay to service a working and running car rather than to replace an engine altogether. So if you’re on the fence about a good shop look no further. They take real good care of their customers and I’ll be going back anytime I need something.
As always, great job done !!!
Excellent all around service at a reasonable price. Very trustworthy - they never up-sell, just the facts with clear recommendations only when your car truly needs it. Great people too! Jeff has been helping us for 15+ years!
Always happy with the service. I have been taking cars there for over 15 years. Good, honest people.
They always give me an estimate of the service cost right from the start, then promptly call me with detailed explanation if any additional problem is found, giving a new estimate and asking whether I want to have that fixed today, or wait and think about it. Been taking both my cars to San Ramon Valley Import for the last ten years and a deep trust has been established that is hard to come by with many auto repair shops. These guys are very honest and do excellent work!
This shop is awesome! I brought my 2003 Mercedes ML 350 in for service and wasnt quite sure what to expect. I read from the Yelp reviews that these guys were fair and would not try to sell you service that you did not need.I needed a maintenance B (whatever that is) and to check the A/C (it wasnt working). I worked with Mark and he explained everything in a manner that I could understand.Mark let me know what was critical, what could wait, and what was up to me if I wanted to spend the money.I was very pleasantly surprised when what I actually paid was less than the estimate that he presented.I will and have already recommended their shop to to anyone that needs to have their car serviced.I know I have found my shop any car that I own.Thank you Valley Import Center!
I have always been very pleased with the quality & customer service at Valley Imports. Jeff and his team continue to do a great job at reasonable prices. With no hesitation I certainly recommend Valley Imports !
Friendly guys and great service. They were able to troubleshoot the loose wheel on my car to an incorrectly torqued bolt from the previous repair (needless to say, not done at Valley Imports). A simple, inexpensive fix - I was expecting worse. Theyll be getting my repeat business!
This was the best service experience I’ve had in many years. I had great conversations with both Rob, the owner, and Jeff, the shop manager. It’s pretty clear they know their business and take great pride in high quality work done correctly at a fair price. I felt like I had gone back in time and was being helped by a trusted mechanic in small town mid-America. I’m glad I found this gem of a shop and I’ll be back.
I had an aftermarket bump steer kit installed on my car.. it misaligned the front wheels.. these guys not only aligned the four wheel to factory spec, they even looked up the installed bump steer kit specs to make sure it would work nicely with my car.. my car drives and handles beautifully.Thank you.
Very happy having our Honda serviced at Valley Import Center. Mark is detail-oriented and straightforward about the work required.
I am very impressed with these guys! I wanted to have my front and rear wheel alignment checked on an SUV and found that it needed to be slightly adjusted. I was able to set up an early morning appointment and they got it done in no time flat. I decided to wait around the area (had some breakfast at a local location, and walked back and it was done). Very professional people and they were very informative to describe what exactly was done. Computer printout showed the before and after. Great job! Will use these guys again for other services too!
Personal treatment. Quick diagnosis and delivery of a solution. Ill definitely return!
These guys are awesome. Ive had my 2007 Honda Accord in for repair twice and have been very satisfied with the work they do. I appreciate that they have shuttle service. Very professional and reasonable prices. Thank you!
The business is all about great service. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, replacing my ABS control module the same day when the part had to come from SF. They provided a ride home and back to their business and I didnt need to wait. They even washed and vacuumed my car. Thanks.
San Ramon Valley Import Center has top notch customer service and performs high quality work. Jeff and Rob are both trustworthy and very knowledgeable. They completed the service in a timely manner and charged a fair price for the work done. I will be back and highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get their car serviced.
They always do a great job and have fair pricing
Friendly, knowledgable staff (Rob, Jeff, Mark) and great customer service. Will definitely come back again for future service. They offer shuttle service to and from home/work, and Linda who is the driver is awesome. Highly recommend to all, you will be pleased!
I made an appointment, missed it, they called and got me in. Really nice people, did a great job on my car while I waited on a park bench outside.They will have to put up with me now for the future.
These folks have taken care of my XC90 Volvo (2) for many years. To all women: this is your mechanic! They are always fair, respectful, do not patronize nor speak down to you, and fix only what needs fixing. Ive just moved from the area and miss this trusted resource. Lucky you all to have this option for all your car care!
In and out in one day. I have been going here for close to 20 years and have received great service every time. Jeff and Mark are great!
We love the service and professionalism provided by the Valley Import Center team. We highly recommend.
Great service. Love working with these guys. Im pretty particular about my 2003 BMW convertible. They take excellent care of it. Latest service was for a full, four wheel brake job. We discussed the pros and cons of the different brake pad choices. Came up with one that solved my brake dust/dirty wheel problem. Ive been going to them for many years now. They have a shuttle service too. Good prices and very trustworthy.
Weve been bringing our cars here for over 30 years. The mechanics, technicians, and front office staff at Valley Imports are absolutely the best! They are honest, hard working and keep you informed of any work you need done on your car.
Very honest!
Friendly and quick yet thorough. Never felt like I was being up-sold or pressured for additional services/parts; just an honest assessment of my car and the essential maintenance needed to run safely and for as long as possible. Plus VERY reasonable pricing. Totally worth the longer drive vs. nearby auto places.
Had my 2000 Audi TT serviced. Work included oil change, replacement of water pump and timing belt, and fixing an annoying squeak in the left front of the car. Mark Williams kept me informed of the progress of the work and gave me up to date cost estimates. All work was done perfectly and costs were less than projected due to a 15% Costco discount on parts.
I was hesitant to skip using the dealer for repairs but Im glad I did. They didnt sell me anything I didnt need for my scheduled maintenance, unlike the dealer, and the price was MUCH more reasonable. Theyre pros.
Great service, reasonable rates, convenient, and very professional staff. After researching the shop, I was already impressed with their credentials including the Diamond Certification. I bought in my 2004 BMW X5 to have an expensive part of the engine repaired. The cost was less than the E. Bay BMW dealer and the repair was completed right on time and the SUV is running great! So after the very positive first visit with San Ramon Valley Import Center, I brought in my second car, a 2009 Civic Hybrid, to have minor services done, when went very well, again. Then being very satisfied with the shop, I brought in my 3rd vehicle, a 1998 Toyota Sienna, to have a series of work done like rear shocks, side auto window, dashboard lights, dome lights etc. Everything was repaired at a very reasonable price and the van now runs much better than before. Any questions/concerns that I had before and after the repairs, were professionally answered and taken care of. This is a great auto repair shop. Not only can I get my vehicles repaired at a reasonable cost, they have a professional staff, courtesy shuttle, and a 2 year warranty that no other shops that I know of has. I have total satisfaction and peace of mind after bringing my vehicles here for repair!
Just had my engine and a brake repaired here. Very professional service. Clear and straight forward communication.
My son was there and they asked him $500 just for diagnostics an 18 years old Nissan. I owned many cars including Mercedes GL which is not cheap in maintenance and I never heard crazy price like this just for diagnostics. I’m scared how much they charge for repairs.
The guys at Valley Import Center ROCK!! Very friendly, knowledgeable and reasonably priced! I highly recommend them.
Not my normal mechanic but was in a pinch and needed someone more local. Excellent booking/appointment process, exceptional service (thanks Mark!) and a great turnaround from diagnosis to repair. Ill most certainly be back!
Mark was so helpful and efficient from the moment I stepped in. Awesome service and very honest. They put their customers needs first. Great prices and family-feel service. Will definitely go to them for any future car needs!
Rob and his crew are trustworthy, and in my opinion the best mechanics in San Ramon by far! They have helped me and my family with several of our cars, including standard maintenance and special projects. I highly recommend them!
I have been taking my cars to San Ramon Valley Imports for the last 7 years, after years of moving from different shops, feeling like I was being taken advantage of. Its a relief to have my cars serviced at San Ramon Valley Import Center. They are straight forward, honest and fairly priced. They dont over sell you. They keep good records on your vehicle maintenance schedule. If you make your appointment on line you can often get a discount on your service. They also mail a discount coupon every few months. They get your car back to you promptly. They offer shuttle service to and from home or work. I have been very satisfied with the service.
The SR Valley Import Center team is absolutely customer service oriented. They take the time to explain any problems and solutions in detail, and they communicate frequently throughout the process of repairing the vehicle. They are organized and knowledgeable. My husband and I have taken our cars to Valley Import Center for the past 11 years. Our vehicles have always been fixed correctly the first time. They are patient, couteous and understand that building trust is fundamental to customer retention and satisfaction. Thank you, team, keep up the good work!
Great and honest service. Will recommend SRVImport to all. My son(17) recently had to drop off his car to get work done. He thought it was awesome how they not t only fixed the problem but also vacuumed his car and emptied his trash. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great team that does excellent work and is wonderfully focused on providing top notch customer service. We trust this shop and strongly recommend them!
Mark & Jeff at San Ramon Valley Import take care of all our cars. The folks there perform excellent work, whether routine maintenance, or when something goes out, they are always very fair and attentive. I have been going here for almost 10 years and would recommend them highly.
Quick and easy service. Explained any issues they found during inspection clearly. Would recommend
I am a long term customer. As usual, car was properly serviced. Work was completed on time. Cost was very reasonable. Highly recommended shop.
Good quality service.Cost came in below estimate were happy! Fair and Honest. Even though they were extremely busy they found the time to please a new customer. From here on out...they are OUR Go to Guys!!!
Amazing customer service. Replaced my clutch a day faster than expected.Only Concern was they didnt clean all the grease off inside my vehicle.
Spoke on the phone only but they were great at answering my questions
Great experience. Hard to go wrong with the many years of experience they bring to the table. They found and fixed an intermittent problem no one else could find, and found a pending problem about to break. Pays to have experienced eyes......
My BMW needed a new radiator so I called around for quotes. Jeff from Valley Import was extremely professional and was happy to give me a quote over the phone. The amount he gave me was the complete price with taxes included. I hate it when you get a quote but the tax is not included as that could be a substantial amount depending on the services being performed. Valley Imports price was very competitive so I chose to have the work done and couldnt have been happier. I was able to email Jeff the night before bringing in my car so that he could have the part ready in the morning. I dropped off my car, rode my bike home and rode back in the afternoon when the job was completed (earlier than expected too.) The final invoice was the same price as the quote-no extra parts or materials were necessary as everything else looked fine. I will happily return when I need work done on my car and Im very happy to have found this repair shop in my community. Thank you Jeff and Valley Import Center.
It was easy to get an appointment and once there, service was impeccable and my car was ready on time. I would highly recommend them.
Ive been taking my 2002 Honda Odyssey to San Ramon Valley Import Center for just over two years now and I have nothing but high praise for the courteous, prompt and efficient service I receive there. They never try to sell me anything, they explain problems if they arise and ask if I want to do anything about it. I am very happy with the Service at this location
Ive been going to SRV Imports for the last 10 years. They have been open and honest in talking about repair issues, never try to over sell me on repairs, its done right or they fix it, and they communicate often by email and phone message to keep me updated on issues. I really enjoy talking cars with Jeff and have always been satisfied with the results of their service.
Outstanding customer service. Trustworthy, high quality work. Offers shuttle service. Highly recommended!
Friendly and fast service and fair prices. They always call with the costs before doing any work and keeps us updated on the progress. The shuttle service is also very convenient. We have been using Valley Import Center for years and will continue to go back.
I have been a customer at SRVIC for a few years now, and everybody there treats you more like a family friend than a casual customer. I look forward to receiving the newsletters that update you on the goings-on with staff and their families. I think this builds bonds within the community of San Ramon, and one of the reasons I love living here! Service is always done with the utmost professionalism and care! Looking forward to a long relationship with these people...
I have been taking my car to San Ramon Valley Imports and I will never to go to anyone else!Jeff always takes his to advice and accommodate. The whole experience is honest and timely. Thank you!
I have gone to San Ramon Valley Import Center for 20+ years. They do great work and dont recommend anything that is not needed. They are a vehicle maintenance business that can totally be trusted.They know me by name so they know how to give excellent overall customer service.
I love bringing my Element to San Ramon Valley Import! They explain whats going on with my car in very easy to understand terms. Excellent customer service too! I could go on and on about how great these guys are.
Always great service. Ive been using them for years. Easy to work with .
We have been a customer of San Ramon Valley Import Center for over 35 years. They are professional, reasonable and show expertise in servicing our cars (we have both a Camry and a 1995 Corolla) and keeping them not only running well but safe as well. Highly recommended!
We take all of our vehicles to Valley Import Center and always get the best service! We have older vehicles that are getting tender so they need some extra care at times. The gang at Valley Import Center take good care of our vehicle needs! Highly recommended!!
San Ramon Valley Import Center will provide you with quality work at fair prices. Also, Jeff is always friendly and has everything on the right track. Keep up the good work!
My car engine suddenly started misfiring so I took it to a garage I had been to before for a fix. Their estimate was a bad cylinder (valve) which would cost about $3.5K. I was concerned as garage was under new ownership and I didnt want to spend the money until I had a second opinion. I received an email from Valley Import just when I needed a second opinion on my car (It was perfect timing). So, took the car (4 Runner) and Im so glad I did as Valley Import did an outstanding job troubleshooting the engine. It wasnt a bad cylinder costing $3.5K, but a bad spark plug wire, which costs 1/10th the costs. As my car was due for some general maintenance work, I also had the timing belt replaced and a few other much needed fixes. My car has 192 K Miles and now runs like a champ. Thanks to Mark and the mechanics.
Great communication, honest estimates and recommendations.
Ive been going here for over 20 years. They have great service, are trustworthy, honest and reliable. I go nowhere else. And you dont need to have an import--they work on any make of car.
Ive been going here for over 20yrs now. I grew up with some of these guys ☺ Here at Valley Import they are so smart and helpful and their prices are completely reasonable.
Got me in for a smog check right away and did a fine job. Great senses of humor too! Really pleased with their camaraderie and work.
Always receive thorough, trustworthy and friendly service at San Ramon Valley Imports! We have recently moved, but continue to drive the distance in order to get impeccable service here!
I recently took my suv to San Ramon Valley Import Center and I was very satisfied with the service I received. They completed the service on time and they provided transportation for me to return to my home and then another trip to get me back to Valley Import Center to pick up my suv. Thank you Valley Import Center.
All of my interactions with San Ramon Valley Import Center have been incredibly positive. You have wonderful employees and you are running a great business. I am very glad to have found you.
This is the 2nd year that I brought my car Valley Import Center in San Ramon for an annual checkup and some major electronic repairs. A critical electronic component needed to be replaced but was not available until the end of the week. By the end of the week, I was informed to wait for another week as the component had not been shipped from Germany to the supplier in Concord yet. By the end of next week, the supplier still had not had the component yet. On the following week the component arrived and I got my car back. I was lucky not needing a car during those 2 weeks. I wished that I have had my car to drive while the part was being ordered (I dont know, may be its just too much trouble for the shop to re-install the old component while the part was being ordered).My car was fixed to my satisfaction. There was no unnecessary repair or extra charge. The car was taken to a car wash before giving back to me. I lived in Danville about 7 miles away and was given a ride to my home after dropping my car and a ride from my home to pick up the car.Its very easy to make an appointment and the staff were courteous. The price was reasonable.
Jeff took one second at the hood latch that was having trouble latching, and fixed it in 30 seconds. Didnt charge me for anything. I chose this place because Andrew at Premier Auto Service referred it to me since they were too busy. I chose both places because they both sounded nice on the phone. The other places I called sounded too impatient to deal with my hood latch.
Excellent, great work and customer service. I have been coming to the shop for over 30 years, and even through the multiple owners, starting out with Ian, his son Chris, Sun, and now Rob, the customer service, knowledge, expertise, and value continues to be outstanding. We moved to San Mateo County in 1997, and STILL bring our vehicles here for service.
Great service as usual from San Ramon Valley Imports. Ive been taking cars there for years and the service has always been great!
For over 15 years I took my cars to San Ramon Valley Imports and got excellent service every time. Even tough jobs like replacing the electro-hydraulic power steering they did proficiently and rapidly. Jeff, Mark and Sun were always clear on what needed to be done and what it would cost. I recently moved to SoCal so I shall have to go elsewhere for repairs My loss.
Very friendly and helpful, low pressure. They quickly performed repairs on my truck (not an import). Will go back for sure.
These guys are great! I know absolutely nothing about cars so calling around being a female with a newer vehicle is intimidating because I never know how much to expect repairs to be. The dealer said my vehicle wouldnt even be able to get diagnosed for atleast 2 weeks. These guys were available the next business day. They were open early so I could drop off my vehicle before work & provided transportation. Im definitely taking my car back there if ever I have any other issues & Im telling everyone I know who has vehicle issues to take their vehicles there as well. Thanks to Jeff, Gavin & the whole crew! I owe you guys like cupcakes or something!
We found San Ramon Valley Import online and based on the good reviews we decided to give them a try. I had a bad experience with another local mechanic in San Ramon so I was uneasy. They worked on our 2006 Toyota Prius and from the beginning, Jeff kept us informed and gave us a break down of what they were doing. Not once did I feel like he was trying to over sell us on something that wasnt needed. He was honest and up front and this is truly something you just dont get from many mechanics or car dealers for that matter. Honesty and great customer service is what I hoped for and was pleasantly surprised to actually get it. We found our new local mechanic at San Ramon Valley Import Center!
Great service, reasonable prices, friendly obliging staff, and good shuttle service. Highly recommended.
Ive been going here for years. Excellent shop, trustworthy and fair. MY 4Runner has 166k miles and is still going strong thanks to Valley Import!
I have been a customer for 25 years! As usual,my experience was excellent! Thank you Jeff and all the members of the Valley team. See you in a few months.
I went to San Ramon Valley Import for the first time yesterday and it wont be the last! Their service was excellent and very timely! I would highly recommend them!
Always a pleasure to know I can trust this team to not only take care of my car but to fully explain what does or doesnt need to be done. Thank you!
Honest, knowledgable, friendly, and prompt. Was referred by a friend and finally (gladly) took their advice. Thanks Rob for the alignment and additional troubleshooting for my Infiniti :) .. if youre going there the first time there are a lot of car repair shops on this street.. Theyre at the back of the parking lot.
Superior sjop for imports. Extremely honest team of professionals. Customer for over 20 years.
Valley Import took my car in right away - fixed the problem that day - had me back on the road that afternoon. I didnt have to make an appointment for another day.Excellent Customer Service!!
Outstanding customer service each and every time. I’ve been bringing my vehicle here for over 10 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Loooong time customer always a gooooood experience you can’t go wrong
