Testimonials

Worth The Drive

For 30 years, we have been sending our cars to Continental Imports for repair and check-ups. We would never go anywhere else. This company is a trusted, valuable asset to anyone who uses their services. We moved about 8 hours NORTH of Gainesville, but we still drive down from Alabama every year for a check-up. The quality of work and the personal attention given us, surpasses all others we have ever dealt with. We have recommended Continental to others and they always come back to thank us. We have always had a satisfactory experience with Continental and the employees make us feel special and are very articulate in their work. I have never had anything but praise for their teamwork to satisfy their clients and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants their car in tip top performance. The “one-on-one” customer service you receive will give you a feeling that your vehicle is in very trusted hands. Continental Imports is an A+ company you can trust!

Highly Recommended

Great food & fun ideaI have been a customer of Continental Imports since I relocated to Gainesville – over seven years, now. I have found there service to be of the highest quality. Their integrity and honesty in repairs are above reproach. The technicians at Continental Imports are very knowledgeable, and refuse to give up until the problem is solved. I own a Porsche 911 Turbo and a Mercedes S-Class, and I have them serviced exclusively at Continental Imports. I always receive my cars back in tip-top shape, clean and performing perfectly. I recommend Continental Imports to all of my friends, too!

Would Not Go Anywhere Else

The staff at Continental Imports are professional, competent and honest. They have serviced my car for more than five years and I have consistently been pleased with the quality of their work. Continental Imports is locally owned and the staff are treated like family, so staff turnover is quite low. I like knowing who is working on my car. Staff consistently provide me with an explanation about the work that has been done on my car, often by the service technician. Darren & Heidi staff the counter in the garage while Hannelore & Lin run the office as well as helping out wherever they are needed. I am welcomed any time I stop by, even when my car isn’t being serviced. I would not go anywhere else for service on my car or automative advice!
