I brought my 2010 Honda CRV because my TPS - tire sensor on my dashboard. I couldn't reset the sensor. I had Edgar take a look. He said he would diagnose all 4 tires. To find out if it's one or all sensors need replacing. He texted me that the car is ready. When I arrived he said he found a nail that set off the sensor. Edgar didn't charge me anything. Thanks Edgar, great honest company. I'll take all my vehicles there. read more

Because I am a woman, they tried to overcharge me. This place is a complete rip off! I took my car in just for diagnostic and this so called mechanic named edgar tried to charge me 700$ for a tune up. Yes, I said 700$. After the diagnostic, my car started acting funny. A day later, it wouldnt start at all! :-( when i called edgar he said bring it back for the 700$ tune up and gave a snicker. I am truly saddened that people in the world can do this and get away with it! :O read more

Import World Auto Services - My car after diagnostic - Auto Repair Near Me - Daly City, California

I went in convinced I was going to have to drop $600 because of what some sleazy lube shop told me a few months ago about my brakes (that they were worn out and needed to get replaced ASAP). After driving around for months waiting until I could afford the work I finally dragged myself in terrified of the damage I must have done driving around all this time. Turns out they were full of it, and I still have 4 or 5 months until my brakes need to get done. THANK YOU for being honest. I'll be coming to this shop for all my future oil changes, brake jobs and ::gulp:: whatever else comes up. read more

Wu ha! Edgar saved me money again today, got my headlight working for free, said no tune up or brake work needed! He and his assistant are the best! read more

If I could give Edgar 10 stars, I would! His honesty and integrity are things you don't see much anymore in an auto repair shop. He knows what he's doing. He is thorough. He explains the work he does. When he repaired my car, he texted photos and videos of the damage or test given to show exactly what was going on, what he was doing and why. He explained what needed to be done now and what could wait. Super nice guy! He even made sure I wasn't cheated by my insurance company when they wanted to give me used or cheap parts. I am now a dedicated customer! read more

Hello all, I was a new customer to Edgar and his staff. My BMW 535i hadn't been serviced since I bought more than a year ago. I finally had time to address just basic services and found the place on the internet as a "near me". I can't tell you how pleasantly surprised I am to have taken my car there. Being new to the bay area, I didn't know what to expect or where to go. Edgar and his team had all the services done, as promised and exactly at the time committed and for a reasonable price considering the breadth of services that had to be caught up. I highly recommend this place and they will be my dedicated "go to" mechanic. TK read more

My "check engine" light was on.....with BMW's that usually means money. Took my car in to Edgar and within an hour he called, told me the problem (the last place who worked on my car didn't tighten some clamps) and told me he wasn't going to charge me.....Absolutely they have my business and I highly recommend them. read more

Hello everyone, I have a BMW 528 I, and was at a total lost as what was wrong when it would not start. Not having a great deal of knowledge of cars, I thought Oh, Oh, this is not good. After watching a number of videos, I recognized it was going to take a professional. That is when I contacted "Import World Auto Service" and spoke with the owner. I put my little girl in the hands of a truly honest and humble man Edgar, (owner) he was very up front with me. I learned at the same time while he was completing the repairs. As a female, he has bought me up to date. If you are looking for a clean environment, minute to minute updates Import World Auto Service is where you want to do business.

Like a good barber or a butcher, when looking for a mechanic it's always important to find someone you can trust. Edgar has always steered me in the right direction with his recommendations, makes it very clear when something does not need to be worked on, and I've never questioned his pricing. I go out of my way to bring any of my car needs to him as his shop offers easy access to Bart so it's no problem leaving my car there. His 5 star rating is more than justified. What more can I say, Edgar is awesome! read more

I dunno, something about this guy just says "AWESOME!!" i just needed my battery replaced, but his friendliness and honest assessment of my vehicle made me feel all warm and fuzzy. I think I will go back for more work when the time comes. Also, he didnt charge me any labor to put the battery in, which may be standard, I dont know, but it seemed like a special bonus to me. read more

I always hated going to mechanics, they would always take advantage that I was a girl and didn't know about cars and prices. I've been going to Edgar for about 8 years now cause he's amazing. I'm dreading the day that he retires, I may stop driving when that happens lol read more

The owner is not honest. He uses a note pad from different auto shop to write his estimate. He would claim that he has replace parts but wasn't really replaced. And he would replace your valuable parts with defective used parts. Be careful!!! What's even funnier was he would ask you to help him out because he doesn't have employee. I was a victim I hope this message will help you. This message is a repost. My previous comment was not showing on his review. read more

I have taken all my vehicles to Import World for service since 2001. Edgar is honest and fair with his pricing and has never tried to add unnecessary services to try and make a quick buck. Thank you Edgar and Import World. read more

I've been to this establishment for 8 years now and the service here is always incredible. Edgar always take good care of my car whether it is for an oil change, mechanical fluid replacement, or even checking the air in my tires. He also orders the best parts for my car so that my car does not malfunction on me. Edgar is the go-to guy that I would suggest to anyone living in the Bay Area. read more

Took my car here for a quote and after half a day Edgar the owner never called me and around 4pm he says he found the issue and he was going to charge me $350 for a diagnosis. I never authorized this but I had no choice but to pay the fee and then it wasn't even what he diagnosed it to be. Some mechanic shop this is so I high suggest to find someone else.. read more

Finding a mechanic in a city, who you can trust is rare. Edgar Padilla is the owner, and when you bring your car to Edgar and he finds what needs help he'll tell you what you need to take care of immediately, and suggest what else may need fixing. He won't do work without consulting you and charge you for it. When I leave Import World I feel like I spent my money wisely. I started going to Edgar three years ago. I've had my brakes fixed, a broken radiator replaced, minor adjustments, and major tune-ups. My truck always runs better after leaving, and his prices are reasonable. I've tried many mechanics in this city and at Edgar's I can always be sure he charges me for the hours he put in. (other mechanics like to round up or stick to the book price even if the job took less time). I've told friends and friends' of friends about Import World and everyone thanks me for helping them find a good mechanic. read more

You won't find anyone else more honest and friendly as Edgar! He will give you an extremely fair quote (most likely cheaper than other auto repair shops) for what you need done and if he doesn't think it's necessary, he will give you his honest opinion. It's hard to find an auto repair shop with mechanics you can trust to tell you the truth and isn't just about making money. Edgar is also very personable and easy to talk to...which makes the whole experience even better! read more

Edgar is reliable, honest, and he knows what he is doing! What more do you need from a mechanic. If you want cheap work go somewhere else.

my car died, towed my car to here since it was the closest shop after reading some reviews and it turned out i had to get my starter replaced. i left my car and got the the phone call with the quote that included an OEM replacement starter part, but after i was hesitant about the total price based on my online research edgar said he could do an after-market or cheaper starter and so i accepted the offer over the phone. i went to pick up my car, paid, and went home only to start questioning my total invoice. looking back at my notes, it looked like i had paid the full price of an OEM starter after being told i got a cheaper after market model. at that point, i was just happy to have gotten my car back quickly so that i could get back on the road and return the rental car, so i didn't want to argue being overcharged or whatever the confusion was. all i had was my handwritten notes and a quote over the phone. whether it was a mistake or intentional, i don't know, but i'm hesitant about coming back. read more
