Bethesda Import Specialist

My first introduction to this shop was when I took them a list of repairs the dealership said were needed, and they told me (correctly, it turned out) that most of the work wasn't necessary. They have taken care of several of my cars since then, always performing top quality work in a timely manner. Their prices are lower than the dealership and fair for the service performed.

Bethesda Import was recommended to me by a former mechanic at a Volvo dealership who praised them for being an honest and professional alternative to dealerships that try to upsell on repairs. I had originally gone to the dealer when I had a transmission warning light and a jerking engine. Even though I told them that I wanted to keep the car (which only had 80K miles, they told me I needed a new car (which they offered to sell me). Bethesda Import diagnosed missing motor mounts (thus the jerking) and the need for a new transmission. They did the work and I've had no problems in the 25K miles since.

Excellent and reliable service.
