Long time family ownership makes for pride and reliability. I've been a customer here for 25 years and have never had a disappointing encounter. Everyone here is capable, service-oriented, and exceptionally professional. It's a wonderful business. read more

BEWARE You Will Be Scammed Here: This is a scam shop that will rip you off. This is not a family business it was taken over by the original owners son who is nothing but a crook. They depend on customers who don't know about complex European cars, systems, and programming/diagnostics to rip you off. When you bring your car here they will charge you a diagnostic fee, perform no diagnostics however, tell you the repairs will be thousands of dollars to get your car running again. I was personally told the problem was a small module that flailed and would cost hundreds to replace then given a diagnostic report stating it would cost $3000+ to replace entire vehicle computer systems that failed and require replacement to get my European car running again. I asked repeatedly for diagnostic decision trees to verify how they came to that conclusion. They were unable to verify their own diagnoses. Towed the vehicle out of this scam shop and put in a $150 fuel pump that was the issue. The service is great! The scammers are nice! And the shop is clean (they don't actually work on cars here just diagnose expensive scams). It looks like a legitimate business but you will be scammed. Business owner responded trying to say it's not their shop which is just more deception. Beware of this shop. read more

Really fast responses online/text. I was able to get an appointment same week, and in and out within 15 minutes. Super great guy working there and my problem has since been fixed. Thank you read more

Each visit is an absolute delight! The service is not only friendly but also impressively speedy. It's always a pleasure!

Such an amazing shop! Took care of me and my car in a matter of an hour and the customer service was top notice. Highly recommend this location. Cheri was on top of everything and the updates to my car was amazing . A++ read more

Picked up cracked mercedes v8 connector that mercedes dealership missed during recommended engine check. Great mechanics here.

I'm new to the area and own a Deisel Mercedes. The Mercedes from my area told me exactly what to tell a localMechanic to reset the blue tech system so that I can drive it down to the dealership in Sonoma county. The woman told me the mechanic refused to 'do a job like that' and he needs a 2 hour minimum diagnostic appointment at $150 an hour! I explained that I need to reset the electronic system, because my vehicle will only allow me to start my vehicle two more times. She explained to me that 'that can't be done' but what she means is that they won't make enough profit off it a 15 minute ticket. I've been back and forth with Mercedes of Santa Rosa and they've made note not to recommend Angelos for future Sonoma County Transplants. Super disappointed. Yes, the simple reset can be done, but they refuse to perform this. She was super condescending and responded with 'Oh can he?! Can he just reset the system?!' While I was trying to explain verbatim what Mercedes said to tell them. Maybe this company does great work, but they push (or force you because they refuse to only do what I am asking) additional work that isn't required. Dishonest, greedy, and not the small mom and pop culture they try and advertise as. Really, really, disappointed they won't help me. The woman knew I am in a desperate situation and she was still not nice and condescending. Just overwhelmed with sadness from the lack of empathy. As the owner of a vehicle, we have the right to ask for specific services and not be forced to run a full diagnostic on my vehicle. I'm only interested in resetting the electronic system. Gross. read more

This place is the REAL DEAL! They know their stuff (older & new) and work a straight even deal. Example: my older model import= cost effective options offered, well explained. Look no further! read more

I am so glad I found Angelos Classic Import Service because I was planning to drive all the way to the dealership in Sacramento to get charged a lot more because I thought that was my only option. All the yelp reviews were spot on - if you want excellence, honesty, and integrity you'll find it here in this family-owned business. Angelo and his daughter Sharee (sp?) were both courteous and kind, thoughtful and straightforward in their conversations with me. Even over the phone they both told me while they adhere to the manufacturer's checklist for each service by mileage they would let me know if each item truly needs to be replaced or not. For example if the air filters are clean they would give me the option of keeping the current ones or replacing them. They wouldn't charge of course for things they don't replace. They kindly offered to call me with an updated estimate once they had taken a look at my vehicle. That kind of integrity alone would have earned them a five star review from me, but Angelo did something that helped me to see his heart and character. He offered to give me a ride home when my friends weren't able to give me a ride due to needing to work late. He is motivated to do the right thing. This is rare and should be celebrated. During my interactions with Angelo you can tell his expertise and enthusiasm are for high end vehicles. For example I didn't realize there were two different recommended ranges for tire pressures depending on the intended activity. You can learn a lot from a Angelo about cars just by spending a few minutes with him. Don't be misled by the reviews all mentioning BMWs - his shop is filled with Mercedes-Benz, Jaguars, Audi, and classic cars. If you've got a luxury or unusual vehicle this is the place you want to go to. Angelos offers the best of both worlds - expertise combined with integrity and honest pricing. I'm so glad I found him. This place is a hidden gem! read more

I bought a 10 year old Mercedes that needed some white glove care and Angelo's came through and made my car as good as new. They are very detailed oriented in looking at every possible repair to make the vehicle as safe and trouble free as possible. I would not take my Mercedes to any other repair shop (including dealers) than Angelo's. read more

Angelo's Classic Import Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Redding, California

Having just moved to Redding, finding a good shop to service/repair my 1998 XJ8 was a challenge. But after reading the reviews I decided to take mine in. Great experience. Angelo was extremely knowledgeable and courteous, taking the time to explain what I needed. Very satisfied with the service, the repair/service, and reasonable prices. Highly recommended read more

Not only is the office staff so nice and accomodating but they get you in quickly if your car breaks down. The office pups are so cute. Taking your car there takes a load off your shoulders when stressed out. The techs are very efficient and quick! read more

Amazing! Angelo Senior is a very kind and caring man. He cared about my car, diagnosed the issue quickly, and gave a fair estimate. He was honest all along. I was surprised by how low the price was at the end. They finished my job in 30 minutes that 3 other places in town were scared to do! This was a really great experience. read more

Tires, brakes, and rotors on my 5 series 16' BMW and it's never felt smoother. Quick service, amazing customer service , and worth every penny! read more

Moved to Redding and I have a BMW 7. Didn't want to drive to Sacramento and decided to take my car to Angelo's classic imports after I found them on line. I was very happy with the service!!! The staff was wonderful and everybody was well-versed in BMWs. They knew what was wrong; got the part and fixed it right away. Glad I found them, you will be too. read more

I was having electrical issues with my BMW and contacted Angelo's to further investigate the problem. Angelo was very friendly and accommodating when scheduling an appointment around my work schedule. I appreciated their thoroughness and phone calls throughout the day, updating me on the progress of their diagnosis. In the end, Angelo's provided excellent work and they were fairly priced. I'll be back in the future and highly recommend their services. A++ read more

Angelos was referred by a friend to help me fix my 2001 x5 BMW. Angelo the owner was super helpful and more than fair on pricing for top quality work. He was even able to fit me in quickly dispute having way too much work currently. I really appreciate Angelo and his stuff and will definitely be back and refer others. read more

My husband had to take his associates back to SFO on Sunday, June 2nd. Just before SFO, our BMW broke down. My husband called a taxi to take his associates to SFO, and then called our car insurance company to tow our car to the nearest BMW dealer, which ended up being on Howard St., San Francisco. After this wonderful occasion, my husband took a taxi to SFO to rent a vehicle to return back to Redding the same day. Monday morning we had a call from the BMW dealer in SF with a list of numerous repairs. The quote ended up being well over $3,500. As you can imagine, we were astonished and immediately borrowed a truck and a trailer to tow our car from SF to Angelo's. After Angelo inspected and analyzed our car, he called my husband and spent time on the phone explaining the quote. Most of Angelo's conversation was... "It would be nice if you replaced this, but it doesn't need it yet" and in summary... our quote ended up being under $600 vs over $3,500. Angelo is a very patient, kind trustworthy and honest person. We highly recommend Angelo. May God Bless Angelo, his family and company, and multiply their needs always. read more

DONT GO HERE!! i took my Mercedes E55 AMG here for a slight shifting problem. i heard this was the place to take mercedes. I drove it in and $900 later i had to have it towed out... i picked it up, paid, and drove 3 blocks when the tranny completely blew out!! i limped it back and i was met with "what did you do"?! they said it wasn't their problem and they did their job.. keep in mind, i drove it in just fine. they were rude and dismissive. just plain ignored me. i tried talking to someone for about an hour and was met with an attitude of "what are you still doing here" SCAM ARTISTS, DO NOT GO HERE!! i found a great shop across town and am now back on the road. they have heard of similar stories from here and felt my pain... i wish i could give them negative stars. i am in talks with BBB and a lawyer to clear this matter up read more

I am always happy with my service at Classic Import Service but this time they went above and beyond. My husband and I were out of town but my mother in law ended up needing our car (that was at Angelo's). Not only did they finish it up quickly so that she could come get it, but they transferred my daughter's car seat for her, and allowed me to promise payment when I returned to town. I am always extremely happy with the service at Angelo's but I love that they go above and beyond for their customers and that they always remember me! read more

I have both of my BMW 535i's oil changes done at Angelo's but this week my husbands car needed love so I brought it in and told them it was shaking every time he used his brakes. Sheree spent time explaining each type of service I could get and she even called me later to explain what I did need and what I didn't need. They replaced my back brakes and rotor's and allowed me to take it home since I lived so far away and when I brought it back the same week they were able to do the front brakes as well. They were very thorough with the rest of the check up and gave me a listing and cost of future items but there was absolutely NO HASSLE to do everything now. I felt like they were honest and transparent about my car's needs. My husband puts more miles on his car than most and she was very kind about keeping everything in our budget. I highly recommend Angelo's for your BMW's because not all mechanics know how to deal with import cars. Thank you Angelo, Sheree, and the staff for getting my back on the road safely and caring about my situation. read more

A wonderful and helpful shop. Unfortunately my BMW conked out prior to arriving at Angelo's but they have been gracious about holding my car while I arrange for my car's sad demise. They did an excellent diagnosis, too bad they don't work on Jeeps my replacement for the BMW! read more

They were able to fit me into Friday last minute on my 2003 BMW Z4 to get a diagnostic since I just got back possession of it from a divorce. They were really detailed about what some of the issues were and informed me what I should have done before I make the drive back to Texas. The owner is extremely knowledgeable on BMWs and I'm sure other brands as well. If I had more time in this area I would have had them perform repairs. read more

Outstanding service and absolutely recommended. The great people at Angelo's went out of their way to help me out. Highly recommended by a family member, I had a check engine light on my 2006 BMW M5. Angelo's pros gave me a thorough breakdown of the issues and presented my options. Short on time, I wish I could have stayed to have them do my repairs. Unfortunately, have to get to my next job on the east coast. Cannot recommend Angelo enough! read more

I was in a pickle and needed my car fixed very quickly.Took it in and Angelo spent 15 minutes on it and determined that the Water Pump was an inch away from going out and the Pressure cap was shot! What could have been a Disaster (and possibly a burned up motor) turned into an excellent experience! He as another faithful Customer now! Another shop said I needed a new Reservoir tank and I would have to leave it for 2-3 days!....so glad I found this place and Highly Recommend it to anyone looking for quality work done on their car! He took the Time out of his Extremely Busy Schedule knowing that if that pump went out while on the road I would cook the motor!...It's hard to find such Knowledge and Customer Service out there anymore! read more

My Volvo was in dire need of help. We made the decision to try to breath new life into it. Angelo and his team worked magic and brought this old car back to life. It drives like it was brand new. Appreciate Angelo, Chris and all the guys down there so much. Just saved me from having to buy a new car. Love you guys! read more

Very happy with Angelo's!. My son's BMW stuck a rock over the pass (pouring rain at night) coming home to the bay area from Oregon and gashed the oil pan wide open losing all oil, and stranding him for a night in Redding. Angelo's took great care of the car, treated it cautiously, and fixed only what needed fixing. I feared we were talking several thousand dollars of repairs (or more) especially at the mercy of an out of town shop trying to manage the situation from the bay area. Angelo and Sherie(sp?) were extremely accommodating and helpful. Repairs done within a day (of parts arriving) at around $1,600 all in. Huge sigh of relief. Highly recommend! read more

My VW was starting to make noises and the engine light came on. I panicked because there is no longer a service center in redding and I was thinking the worse. Angelos got me in first thing in the morning and my car was diagnosed and fixed within a few hours. These guys were honest in the issues and how it was only a small problem. They saved me so much stress. If your looking for a honest and knowledgeable place to take your vehicle this is the place. read more

So I'm new in this town and I haven't been to this place, so I can't comment on the other positive reviews listed. But I called these guys to see if they would take a walk-in oil change. He said they usually do if they have the time but they usually go by appointment. So I mentioned I wanted to get an oil change after work to reference that I'd be open to making one. He said they don't carry the parts for the oil change. I told them I could bring the filter and oil by with me. The reply was "actually we don't put customers parts on cars, sorry". That makes absolutely no sense in this scenario. It is an oil change, not clutch replacement. So an oil change is very simple and everyone knows this. An oil filter would be the only part involved. An oil filter is a temporary part that you simply just screw on. I just got this car and I'd kinda like to find a place to take it to have work done on it in the future. I guess Angelo doesn't need my business. This is bad networking. read more

Thanks to Angelo and the crew my 7-year-old BMW Z3 runs as nice as it did the day I bought it!! I was informed of everything it needed before any work was done, was given an itemized invoice when the work was completed, which Angelo went over with me on each and every thing. I knew ahead of time what the cost would be (eliminating standing there with a stupid look on your face, about to faint, when someone hands you a bill that is 3 times more than they said it would be :) ). Doesn't happen here. They are quick, honest and reasonable. NO ONE will touch my baby but these guys!! read more

I was on my way to Seattle Washington when the front wheels of my Mercedes Benz started making a horrible scraping sound and the wheel got very very hot. I was able to take it into his shop. I thought it was a bearing, he rapidly diagnosed that it was not a bearing it was something about the brakes. He was able to make time that afternoon to remove and repair the brake pad problem and a bolt holding the calipers in and get me back on the road by that afternoon it was an amazing service great place to take your car read more

We have moved out of the area, but while living in Redding Angelo serviced our cars for years. You won't find a more honest guy, nothing but praise for Angelo and his crew, you will be in safe hands. In comparison, my son drove a Grand Jeep Cherokee which we didn't bother Angelo with, we went to a different mechanic on Hartnell, who ALWAYS padded the bill and found ten additional things "Wrong" with the car. Angelo never does this, if he does find additional things, he always has proof to show you. read more

This guy is a shyster!!! He quotes you for one thing and charges another when you come to pick up your car. Don't confuse this Angelo's with his son's shop. His son does good work. read more

All I can say Is..... MAKE SURE Your Bill, is NOT PAID in Full, BEFORE you leave Angelos Premises, In the ?Likely?? Event, YOU Encounter a PROBLEM. You will NOT Receive a Return Call, REGARDLESS of the amount of times, YOU Call & are Told, YOU WILL Receive a Call Back, this, After speaking w/his (Secretary) Daughter. read more

as always for me over 13 years, my recent repairs were handled in a competent and friendly manner
