Graham, Is a very nice fella so knowledgeable and honest the car was taken in and he resolved its issues! If you're looking for a mechanic shop that takes pride in their business and customers, look no further. read more

DO NOT COME HERE!!! Came in for PCV on my supercharged Audi a6 and the guy was super nice BUT after further inspection of the work done, I noticed a broken tube and he used tape to put it back together and threw the supercharger back on the car... My car is actually f*%ked now. Do urself a solid and don't come here. Not an honest shop read more

I got my pcv valve replaced for my s4 and one of the breather hoses broke so they just decided to tape it up instead of replacing the actual part. Also had to keep going back over and over because each time I got my car back from him it had something wrong with it each time. This place is a joke Graham is rude and unprofessional. Someone else on here named Sebastian R. left a similar review and we both had similar experiences. read more

Graham is very honest, knows his cars and very friendly. I really trust him. He worked on my VW Passat and now he works on my Touareg. Good guy, good mechanic! read more

Great guy. Very knowledgeable about cars. Understands what he and his team do and can do well. The problem I am having is a project they do not work on, however, he gave me two great referrals and I am looking into them. If I wind up with a VW or Audi, this is the shop I will bring my car for service. read more

Graham at G-Imports is an expert in German automobiles. He's friendly, willing to share advice and honest in his estimates. Like their tag line says "Get fixed. Not broke" I think they stand behind that! read more

Perfect automobile repair experience for my M240i! Car runs like new! Highly recommended!

Graham worked on my 2018 Audi SQ5 and did a superb job. Like all turbo Audi's, mine was leaking oil but excessively. On top of that, the engine mounts were shot and the cheap (they don't build 'em like they used to) gaskets made of plastic, would only last for 70K miles. Graham made me feel at ease and explained all repairs. He came in about $1,500 less than the dealer for all that work. I hope I don't have to see him for a while but if I do, I will trust him. German cars look great and are fun to drive but they are expensive to repair and maintain. I probably will not buy another one. Chevy, Ford or Toyota for me here on out. read more

I can't say enough about G Imports and Graham! They took care of my issue with my TDI! I got ripped off at a local VW specialist so I got a recommendation from a friend. Graham has been kind and communicative. I can't thank them enough for going through what they did with my SUV. I was scared my bill would be outrageous after my last shop but it wasn't. Fair pricing! Above and beyond! Thank you G Imports! read more

The only place I will take my Jetta to in the South Bay! I shopped around and found Graham to be the most honest and fair in his pricing.

I searched for days to find someone to help me with my 2017 Volkswagen. The deep sighs and negativity I experienced when calling local repair shops, once the found out the make/model of my car was astonishing! I found Graham here on Yelp and I will never take my vehicle anywhere else. He located and replaced a tricky malfunctioning and intermittent sensor in my electrical system and had it back to me the same day. Go see him in Hermosa Beach! read more

I was renting cars to drivers so they can work for Uber or Lyft. They were right on top of every repair I needed! They even ordered a very expensive module that has to do with the transmission that came from Germany for one of my Audis. A trustworthy good, professional, honest mechanic shop! read more

I took my 2004 Volkswagen GTI 1.8T there for some general maintenance and a checkup. I also had a bad right rear wheel bearing. Graham was great, and was happy to answer my questions and discuss everything ahead of time. They took care of an oil and filter change, and did an inspection of belts, hoses and the drive train. They replaced the bad wheel bearing, and sorted out an issue with my washer reservoir hoses. The cost was reasonable, everything was completed same day, and Graham kept me posted all along. I will definitely be back next time my car needs service. read more

G Imports - Auto Repair Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I had an excellent experience at G Imports. After my VW e-Golf wouldn't start, I initially took it to the dealer, but they were unable to diagnose the issue. However, when I brought it to G Imports, they identified the problem immediately and had it fixed by the following day. The pricing was also very reasonable. Thank you, Graham, for providing outstanding service. read more

Thank you Graham and G imports. I would recommend anyone to take their Audi or VW to them. Awesome. Thanks U G imports!!

Called for a estimate, for transmission fluid change and never got a call back. I guess they don't offer that service. Would of been nice to at least call back‍ read more

Been going here for 4 years always top of line service, quality parts and reasonable pricing. Only place I'll take my Audi.

Graham was good in the beginning and then became utterly horrible and rude. He scammed us out of $5k or more on our Jetta GLI and every time our car was brought there with the same issue he would say "I think it's this". Then proceeds to charge us thousands and the check engine light would come back 20 seconds after we pick the car up! We also got a serpentine belt replaced with him when he was on vacation and that was actually never replaced according to Pacific Volkswagen as we had to get it replaced there. He also replaced the spark plugs and coils as well as the railings for that area and replaced it with electrical tape!! He's overly expensive, rude, and sadly doesn't know what he's doing for being a Volkswagen specialist. We ended up having to take our car to the dealer as we noticed he charges just as much!! I would stay away from here if you know about cars. We should've reported him to the BBB a long time ago. Makes sense why he has a shop in Hermosa. read more

Unlike Eliza in 2010 I am taking the wife's SUBARU to Graham to get the brake fluid flushed. Yes, some vehicle maintenance schedule includes flushing the brake fluid every 30k miles. Although the fluid essentially is stagnant it does get compressed, as much as fluids like to be compressed, they can get contaminated. Why am i surprised taking an off brand to G-Imports? Excellent workmanship, honest pricing, communication, and he took care of our 2005 GLX manual 6 cylinder (one of only 10 imported into the US) until it had over 250.000 miles on it. read more

Known Graham for years. Only place I will take my BMW cars to. Fixes them right the first time! Highly recommend you give them a call. Euro cars only. No "American" cars. read more

Ive had some pretty horrible experiences dealing with the VW dealerships (not in the LA area). Just getting them to maintain my car by their own maintenance schedule was impossible. I decided to stop paying the dealership costs and track all my maintenance services on my own. I really appreciate the attention to detail Graham had when servicing my car. Even filled up my DEF without having me to say anything. I thought the final bill was very reasonable and fair (almost half the cost of the dealership). Very please with out experience and service today and will be back! read more

Very pleased with my initial visit and subsequent drop off. A gentleman named Scott greeted us and took the information about my vehicle and shared information about their service center. I met Fabio who will likely look at the eurovan. He is the Eurovan specialist and is ready to take a deep dive. I will follow up and complete this review once I hear back! read more

G Imports - Auto Repair Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Really nice, honest people. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking help with an imported car.

Always fair - super knowledgeable & reasonable. I like going to the mechanic - just wish I had more money

My Audi is no longer under warranty so I called around to a couple of mechanics I found on yelp. Boy, did I hit the car service lottery when I called G Imports. I called to ask what they charge for brakes and 4 new tires. They had me bring my car in straight away and called me with a quote within the hour. The amount they quoted was 1/3 what the dealership quoted me. They had my car for the day and I picked it up at 5pm the same day. I kid you not...I made the inquiry, took the car in to get a quote, got the service completed and picked my car up ALL IN THE SAME DAY. It's been over a month since my car was serviced with G Imports and everything is great! I highly recommend you pay them a visit for your Import Auto needs. A+ service. read more

It's me again. Writing a second review on G Imports! Wife's 2010 BMW 328i was acting very strange smoke in the car and coming from the motor and out the exhaust with loud thumping sound in gear. It was a Friday afternoon and the car was in Mission Viejo. Called Graham to see if he could get it in. Had the car towed to him Monday morning and Tuesday afternoon he tells me it's done. All new coils and spark plugs, 2 hours labor for a very fair price actually dirt cheap when compared to a BMW dealer! G Imports will always get my business! read more

Graham is a genuinely nice mechanic. On my 2015 VW GTI, he's helped change my transmission fluid, and a leak from a defected oil gasket (which was done somewhere else). Today I came in for him to check my brakes, which he did free of charge. He told me I still have half of the brake's life left, but gave a low estimate if I choose to change them. I am glad I found a trustworthy mechanic to work on my German car, at a reasonable price. read more

Highly recommended - Graham is my go-to for all things VW - his experience is vast. My 02 TDi was in need of a once-over since it had been a while and I wasn't sure if it was worth keeping or trading in. Turns out that it has LOTS of life left after a few repairs and it's back running strong and riding smooth again. I truly couldn't be more pleased with the service and care at G-Imports. read more

Graham really is the best at what he does. Anything VW or Audi related and he's got you covered. I've been bringing my cars here for the past 5 years which has consisted of two Audi's and two Volkswagen's and it's always been great communication, fair prices and excellent work. Graham really cares about the cars and his customers and it's apparent as soon as you walk up to the shop. I've recommended quite a few people to come here and they've all been treated well. I won't be taking my cars anywhere else any time soon. read more

I Brought my 98 Jetta TDI on the hook over to Graham and this gentleman did a superb job to get my little diesel back on the road I definitely recommend this shop to service and repair your much older european automobiles I will definitely come back for this shop to work on my car. When other shops turned me down Graham took me in and did a bitchin job !!!! read more

Great VW mechanic. My son took his EOS there and they took great care of him. Made clear what is critical and what is nice to have. Highly recommend. Best in the area. read more

This shop is really a diamond in the rough. The difference is the passion in identifying the problem giving the options and then executing on time . My wife and I have been taking our two Vw's here for year's and there still both running great. Grahm the owner is an encyclopedia of knowledge which is the success in any repairs project. His team is a great resource for our local community. read more

YAY! After almost 2 years of my 2002 VW GTI being either finicky or just not working at all, I finally found someone who was willing (and able!) to figure out the problem and fix it. I love this car so so much and have been saving up money to get it fixed instead of having it junked like my friends and family have been urging me to do. After dropping my car off, Graham called me with updates and to make sure I was ok with any parts he was buying. I also appreciate him taking the time to explain his thought process/game plan in troubleshooting what was wrong with my car. Once he did figure it out he explained the issue to me in detail. You can tell he loves working on these cars, as much of a headache as they can be. Thank you so much Graham! I've been using my car every day and it is running great :) read more

I'm so happy my friend told me about this place. She serviced her Audi here for years. I brought my Audi Q7 with significant work needing to be done. I had water damage I had no idea about and caused my battery to go dead all the time. He was the only mechanic who was able to fixed it. His prices are reasonable for an Audi specialist. I highly recommend bringing your car to Graham. My car works fine now. read more

Best place to get your car repaired. Excellent service, excellent pricing. Graham is amazing and knows his stuff. We have been more than satisfied with the repairs he has done on my 2002 Passat. Highly recommend G Imports to everyone. You will not be disappointed if you use G Imports. This is the only place we go to get our VW fixed. Thanks Graham! Jacquie and Tom Devlin read more

Graham and the team at G-Imports are the just the best! G-Imports has worked on all my Audi's - 2006 A4, 2009 A4 and now 2011 A5. Over the years G-Imports has saved me thousands of dollars in unnecessary repair costs. From doing the timing belt, brakes, turbo repairs, spark plugs, oil leaks, and simple oil changes they do it all with you in mind. Never once over the last five years was I pressured into doing silly premature repairs like you would expect at some of the dealers. read more

I have had BMWs and have been going to G imports for over 10 years. I've always had beyond excellent and reliable service - I completely trust the work they do...the most trustworthy mechanic I've ever been to ! I've heard horror stories of my friends who previously went elsewhere and I always refer them to G imports- they have all been beyond satisfied. I usually don't write Yelp reviews because I'm super busy, but this past weeks experience was PHENOMENAL! I had an unexpected car problem and they went ABOVE and BEYOND the excellent service that's always been provided! G Imports is BEST ever ! Jennifer, Ph.D. read more

Summary: Honest and knowledgeable. A "necessary" repair of $2,300 at the dealership was quoted at $1,100 by Graham, and he determined it was actually unnecessary for at least another 10K miles (so no charge and no repairs for now). Full story: I went to the Audi dealership for a factory recall on my A6. When I dropped it off, I mentioned that the breaks had been squeaking a little. I got a call later that day saying that I needed to immediately replace my brakes and rotors on all 4 tires, costing a total of $2,300. I told them I would pass and called Graham at G Imports after seeing his positive yelp reviews. Originally on the phone, Graham gave me a quote of about $1,100 for the same repair. When I got the the store, Graham explained to me that mechanics at dealerships work on commission, so they will repair things when unnecessary. Instead of taking the $1,110 that I was prepared to (unhappily) pay, Graham took a look for himself to see if they needed to be replaced. He called me in while the car was still up and showed me how to tell if a brake pad and rotor needed to be replaced. He said that my car could go another 10,000 miles before I needed that repair. Graham saved me $2,300 in BS repair costs, and I will definitely be going back when my car actually needs service. read more

If you have a VW and you are not bringing it into G imports you are making a HUGE mistake. Graham knows everything about your VW. He will explain it in normal easier to understand terms. He doesn't push repairs on to you. He will suggest repairs and let you know if it is an urgent repair or let you know how much time is left till the repair is really necessary. I own an older 1998 VW and Graham has probably replaced 95% of the replaced parts on my car which is near 200k and runs great thanks to Graham and his crew. He also works on other German cars too. His shop gets busy so call ahead see if they have time. read more

Graham is a Volkswagen wizard! I had several issues with my Passat and none of the mechanics I went to believed that my engine wouldn't start if I filled up my tank all the way. When I explained it to Graham he knew immediately what the problem was and fixed it within the day! He is so knowledgeable, genuine, and transparent. If you have a Volkswagen, go to Graham instead of another shop that doesn't specialize in German cars. read more
