Legit Mechanic -- Legit Service! – Hmmm, what can I say that hasn't already been said? It's not a mistake that most of these reviews are 5 stars.... I own a 4th Gen Prelude VTEC.... you know that sexy one with the dumbo ear doors and the instrument panel that reminds you of the Star Trek command center. I found Allen's Imports in late 2010. Probably through google or yelp. They were local, specialized in asian imports, and it was another chance for me to find an honest mechanic. Glad to say, I found one. Brian is a super kno... read more

Best car repair service ever – I have taken two vehicles to Brian for several years. I am a single woman, and appreciate his honesty, and his caretaking, in addition to ability to do a good job. I have recommended him to my co-workers without hesitation. They are all equally pleased with a one-on-one relationship with the guy who looks after your vehicle. You will not regret making him your regular service guy!!!

Lifetime customer! – Hands down, the best mechanic I have ever met. I have a 2001 Toyota Camry with 180k on it. Due to my job, I drive it like I stole it - putting 500 to 800 miles on it per week. I've taken my car to many many mechanics from Los Angeles to Vacaville to Folsom to Downtown Sac to West Sacramento. I've been screwed so many times I lost count. In fact at one point I almost came to expect it. None have done a better job than Brian at Allen Imports. In my opinion he is one of the last honest to good mechanics aro... read more

My 96 Honda Civic passenger side and one rear left windows won’t roll back up... I wasn’t sure what the problem was so I took the door panel off from the driver side and discovered that few of the wires were broken. I called few shops around and when I saw good reviews of Allen imports, I called them and spoke to Brian about broken wires. I was told to bring my car to the shop and he will fix it for total cost of $250. He will make sure that all windows are working. Next day, I took my car to his shop, singed the paper work ... read more

Best Customer Service EVER – Sadly, I don't know much about cars beyond how to drive them. I only bought my used 2001 Honda Accord about six months ago, but it was a 'well driven, East Coast car'. But, it ran pretty well, so I was surprised when I brought it into my dealer for a routine check up to find out I needed maintenance that would cost almost $1500!!! I didn't have that kind of money, so I went home and looked up other repair services. That was when I found Allen Imports. Brian was amazing on the phone. He offered to... read more

Odd and refreshing combination for auto repair: Friendly, competent and reasonable. – Outstanding customer service and reasonable pricing. They have saved me a bunch, working on a couple of intermittent problems. Both times, they nailed the cause after brief checkout and troubleshooting. If I have gone to the auto dealer, I would have been hundreds, if not thousands more out of pocket. Great small owner operator auto repair business. They are friendly, competent and reasonable. These attributes are not easy to find in the au... read more

Great Auto Repair – After relocating to Sacramento in 2006, both my wife and I continue to bring our Nissans (96 Maxima with 203,000 miles & 01 Altima with 100,000 miles) to Allen Imports. They continually provide us with quality, affordable work on our vehicles from routine service to major repairs at a significant savings compared to Nissan dealerships. On one occasion the Altima's electrical system began going crazy (lights blinking, alarm going off etc) and after consulting with a local Nissan dealer they informed us it ... read more

Diagnosed & fixed my check engine light after another shop failed – I went to another shop for a diagnostic to get my 99 Acura check engine light off. They charged me $92.00 and they said it was probably just a loose gas cap. The light was off for 2 days then it came back on. I returned to the shop and they said it was a bad gas cap, so I went to Acura and replaced it for $22. The light popped back up after 3 days, so I went back again and they said I would have to go to the dealer to have them check it. I felt like they did... read more

Fast brake repair, very courteous auto mechanic – I was happy to find my new mechanic last week on Citysearch. I saw the great reviews on here for this shop and needed a close by place for my brake repair. The service was great and reasonably priced. My brakes were fixed quickly even though i ruined more parts. My brakes are now quieter than before the problem. I also got some work done myself (Wi-Fi). It's a small shop so I like the extra attention service.
