In our words

About Japanese makes at Continental Imports.

Japanese makes at a European shop

Lexus, Toyota, Acura and Honda are some of the Japanese models we can also service and repair. The list of work is the same as for our European marques: oil and filter service, scheduled maintenance, brakes, cooling, electrical, air conditioning, engine and transmission repairs, alignments, batteries, diagnosis and repair.

Under warranty

We perform required or necessary maintenance while the car is under factory warranty, stamp the maintenance book and use factory-approved parts and lubricants. We cannot do Lexus, Toyota, Honda or Acura warranty work or recalls; only the factory dealer can.

Factory warranty, stated exactly. While your car is under factory warranty we perform the required maintenance with factory-approved parts and lubricants and stamp your maintenance book. We cannot perform factory warranty repairs or recall work; only an authorized dealer can.

Questions

Owners ask.

The three we hear most for this marque. Anything else, call and ask for the advisor who handles it.

Do you work on Japanese cars, or only European?

Both. European marques are the specialty; Lexus, Toyota, Acura and Honda are serviced with the same team and tooling.

Can you do the maintenance my Toyota's warranty requires?

Yes, with factory-approved parts and lubricants and the book stamped. Warranty repairs and recalls go to the dealer.

Do the same conveniences apply?

Yes: online scheduling, loaner cars by arrangement, rides, after-hours drop and the 2 year / 24,000 mile warranty.

“I had neglected my 2015 Highlander through the years and it needed a lot of work. I found the right place to do it all. Trustworthy, reasonable and they got my car purring.”
