G-Imports

I’m a nurse and frankly I can compare Graham to a car surgeon. He is so knowledgeable about the inner workings of my car and such an honest man. My neighbors recommended him to me for my VW and after a very careful analysis he found and fixed all my car’s ailments. I won’t hesitate to tell the Unilocal world about him, he’s the best and we will be back!

Only mechanic that i know in the Los Angeles area that is honest and does not try to add repairs that your car does not need. If you drive a audi this is the man to go to. He will have your car running like new. Best mechanic ever. I highly recommend G IMPORTS FOR YOUR NEXT CAR REPAIR VISIT.

Took my Jetta in recently because my engine light was on and I failed my smog check :(It turned out to be a little problem and Graham and his team fixed it right away… and at a reasonable price! They even had me bring it in a few days after to make sure it would pass smog. Very reliable, friendly and trustworthy. Will be back in the future for my car needs.

Graham solved my cam & fuel problems quickly. Fair affordable trustworthy honest.
My Passat hums seems seems faster.
Highly satisfied customer.

I’ve been taking my car to G Imports for almost 2 years. I know a lot about cars but don’t have the time or equipment to fix them, so I know when someone is trying to b.s. me. At G Imports I’ve always felt they were being fair and honest with me. I’ve even been told not to fix something that wasn’t yet worn out or broken, such as brake pads that still had a little bit of wear left. The owner, Graham, has my business because he does a great job fixing what is needed, answers any of your questions, and charges a fair price.

Just took my VW CC in for its first major service at 40k miles and this was honestly the best experience I’ve had with a mechanic! I knew the 40k mile service was going to be expensive, and the dealership quoted me upwards of $ 750, so I was dreading taking my car in. I called several places and I knew after one short conversation with Graham that this was the place I was going. Not only was the price he quoted way lower than everywhere else, but I felt reassured he knew what he was doing. He quoted me $ 600 and the actual price after taking it in today was even lower, about $ 560. Graham is seriously the man. He’ll look out for you and will always do what he can to give you options, make sure you’re not spending more money than you need to, and explain issues with the car in layman’s terms. You don’t see that very often with mechanics, and with car services being as expensive and as much of a hassle as they can be, its refreshing to stumble on mechanics like Graham! I’ll be going here for as long as this place is in business!

Had some work done on my old Jetta a few times. Labor rate is reasonable and part quality good. what I like most is that Graham will actually give you a mini lesson about the particular issue or failure mechanism and give you some options and a recommendation. I switched to him from another mechanic and it’s a night and day change. Better parts, better labor rate, better service. It’s been a very good experience. Even replaced my broken dipstick when I wasn’t looking. Sly devil!

Been going to Graham since I was 16. He is amazing and always so honest. He is especially kind to my Mother after my father passed and takes care of her car even for the tiniest things. So grateful for Graham! Great local business!

Graham is very honest and straightforward. He was able to do the work that the dealership estimated to be $ 2000 for only $ 1200. I won’t be taking my VW anywhere else but G Imports for repairs!

If you need your VW worked on, take it to Graham at G-​Imports! He takes care of my Phaeton, and I can’t imagine taking it elsewhere. Case in point: one of my suspension airbags blew out, rendering the car undriveable. VW’s official fix action is to replace them on all 4 wheels as well as the controller, since they no longer make the original part. Since I wasn’t looking to spend $ 10k on a 10 year old car, Graham suggested we try replacing only the blown suspension airbag to see if it would work with the original suspension system. He was very clear that this was experimental, but it worked like a charm! Any mechanic who suggests a way to save me thousands of dollars is worth his weight in gold. If you have a German car, take it to G-​Imports and save yourself worry and money.

Graham is the best. He is so quick and extremely knowledgable when it comes to cars. The best part is that he is straight to the point and honest with what you need repaired. Super reasonable prices too. I had a check engine light and came in without an appt. and he still looked at my car, fixed the problem, and it was free of charge! I drive an Audi and wouldn’t go to anyone else. Go see him, you won’t regret it.

Love Graham and his guys at G Imports. He didn’t try any fast tricks to takes my $$$. He got my car fixed up quickly and gave me a great timeline to go by for regular maintenance– not like the VW dealerships that can always find something in the triple digits that needs to be replaced immediately. Graham is honest, reliable and an all around great guy.

Just had my VW Jetta serviced at this location. Graham is an ethical mechanic, two words that usually does not go together. I went to the dealership to get a quote and was amazed at how expensive it was, went to G Imports, HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS cheaper for the same parts and service, and they finished it in a timely manner.
Now I know the dealership is supposed to be more expensive but what a difference. Graham took the time to explain to me what was being done. Also he told me some things that mechanics/​dealers might do to up sell you on services and parts you don’t need.
I’ve been looking for a regular mechanic. I have found one.

I haven’t had any work done on my car from G-​Imports yet but I called to ask if they do repairs for a particular issue I was having. I spoke with Scott and he was kind and honest enough to mention that I should ask the manufacturer first because there are extended warranties for the part that was in need of replacement. Trustworthy mechanics are not easy to find and I’ll be taking my car here when I need repair in the future.

The V-​belt of my Audi A4 fell off two days ago. After looking around the web I called Graham at G-​Imports for help. AAA picked up my car and sent it to G-​imports. Graham called me a few hours later and told me the car is fixed. In addition, he found another critical problem and fixed for me by the way with charging me only 20 some bucks for material, which would cost another a few hundred bucks if going for fixing it only.
Strongly recommend this place and its owner Graham! This UK accent guy not only has professional skill and knowledge about the European cars, but is really a responsible and honest person. He explains all he did and how he charged to you, and tried not to waist your single dollar. For me, he will be my Audi mechanic for the future no doubt.
If he can add riding service in the future, this store will be more perfect. Since I had to run 3 miles to get my car back, a good exercise though. :)

The place to go for your Audi/​VW in the south bay. Several times Graham has been completely straightforward and honest with me, and always gone out of his way to find the best deal on parts.
After a recent visit and repair, my check engine light came back on 2 weeks later. Graham took my car back in, spent all day working on it, fixed the problem and didn’t charge me a dime extra. Great mechanic.

I drive a 2003 Jetta and have gone to Graham at G-​Imports many times over the years. He’s seen it all when it comes to VW’s, gives accurate and honest quotes, explains in detail what needs to be fixed, calls before fixing anything new he finds… you can just tell he’s honest, straightforward, and very good at what he does. I recommend him to anyone looking for their long term «VW repair guy.»

5 Stars all the way for Graham and the G-​Imports team!
I own a 2001 VW Jetta and I’ve taken it to many different VW dealers in the area and have spent countless dollars to get it fixed. I always had the feeling that I was getting ripped off but I just didn’t know any other place that I can take my car to. One morning, I was driving on PCH to go to work and noticed a sign on the side of the road that read: «G Imports. Get Fixed, Not Broke.» The sign intrigued me and I Unilocaled this place. Bingo! All 5 stars. I knew I had to give this place a shot.
Well, it’s been 2 years since then, and I couldn’t be happier. Before finding G-​Imports, I always dreaded taking my car in for service because they always seem to «find» something wrong with my car, but now I have a mechanic who I can totally trust. Basically, if Graham tells me I need something, I really need it. I’ve been so happy with my experience that even my husband has been taking his Acura to Graham lately.

I drove a 99 beetle from 2004 – 2011, and during those years, I had Graham on my speed dial. I was the most air-​headed 16 year old girl to ever receive a cute car for her birthday, and I knew absolutely nothing about cars.
Graham and the other guys at the shop have always been patient and sweet to me and my constantly broken little car. My hard earned money was spent well at G-​Imports and I knew I never needed to ask around for another price quote, Graham’s pricing is fair and he’s always kindly explained to me where each dime goes to. I’ve heard and experienced too many times where car dudes overcharge unknowing women for repairs or unrequested maintenance. This of course never happens at G-​imports. In fact, even while I lived in Santa Barbara, I used to call Graham and describe to him what was happening over the phone, and he would give me some advice on what to do or where to take it to get the cheapest best solution, even if it wasn’t with his company. You don’t get service like this anymore.
Last year, I sold the olé buggie and bought a new Honda Fit so I don’t really have a need for G-​imports anymore. (Although if I feel like somethings not right with the service at the dealer, I am bringing my Japanese car in for Graham to look at!)
Many thanks to Graham and the guys for their help over the years!

Five stars for Graham and G-​Imports!
He is an honest mechanic with a true passion for cars. He helped me squeeze as many miles as possible out of my ’98 Audi A4 until I could afford to upgrade to a newer one. Graham will tell you what services you really need, he always has a quick turnaround for service, and is very reasonable with his prices. He must have some local hookups for parts, because whenever he ordered parts for my car, they came in the next day. Can’t beat that.
The only downsides are that that the shop is not open on Saturday and since it is an independent shop, they don’t give loaner cars out. Pacific Audi in Torrance does both of these things, which is where I currently go because my new A4 is still under warranty. However, once the warranty expires, you bet I’ll ditch the dealership and be back to see Graham (but hopefully not too often!).
