We lived in Belltown for 4 years and the guys at Import Doctors cared for our 2000 Lexus GS300 the entire time. These are honest, competent, professionals who will take care of your car extremely well. Every time there was an issue that needed discussion before they proceeded, I got a call. When the work was done, it was done right and for good. I am here in the NW on vacation and have called them to set up an appointment to work on our newer car. I could do it in California, but I KNOW what I have here. I trust these guys. PS: I worked in operations and maintenance section of public transit agencies for 34 years. I know something about rolling stock and its maintenance.
Pros: Honest, professional
Cons: No parking - but Metro buses run right down the streets adjacent to shop.

My Dad recommended this mechanic to me when I was in college. One of the best gifts a father can give a daughter is a referral to an honest mechanic. I have taken my cars in since (going on 20 years now). Just as the other reviewer said, they only recommend repairs that really need to be done and always charge a fair price. I live in Everett now and still bring my cars in when needed, it is worth it for quick, reasonably priced and honest service. I have tried two other mechanics up North to avoid the trip. With those mechanics my husband looked at my bill and told me I was being taken advantage of. With the Import Doctor, he always says I'm getting a square deal and am right on target with repairs.

I have had my cars serviced for various things from brakes, timing belts ...well you name it. I love my cars and i am very hesitant to let just anyone touch my cars. Needless to say I wasn't sure about trying a new repair shop, but since the others I have been too have been over priced and the service was over rated. I was told about the Import Doctors from a friend of mine who has been going there for years, so I gave it a shot. Jim, the mechanic I spoke to was very knowledgeable and straight forward with me. I cant stand shops that try to sell me a new car everytime I go in. Jim, told me what my car needed and also the items which i should keep an eye out for, but he didn't try to convince me with franchise sales training bull___some of these other shops in seattle try to do. The price was very fair considering he used the quality parts that I wanted, and I was suprised he could find them for my car. In the past I have gone to some shops and requested they use a specific quality or brand of parts for my car and they dont, and 6 out of 10 time I have a problem and waste my damn time going back to them to do it right. I live downtown and there are not many shops in the area, and I dont like driving ten minutes to get to a shop where I have to wait two hours in a cramed waiting area. I like the fact that I could drop my car off and walk back home, and in the event I did have to return It's not a hassle. Its been 4 months since I got my brakes, and tune up on my car at The Import Doctors, and I have not had any problems. They did a great job and my car runs_great. My overall feeling of The Import Doctors...qualitywork, fair...convenient and I will return with my other cars.
Pros: convenience, quality work, price, near everything
Cons: no parking lot, no waiting area,
