Viking Imports Foreign Car Parts & Accessories Inc

Attention foreign car fanatics! Are you tired of going to the auto parts chain store *cough* Auto Zone *cough* to ask them to help you find a piece for your foreign car to only have the salesperson look at you with that deer-​in-​the-​headlight expression? I sure don’t like it, and I’m sure you don’t either. Most of the time the salespeople in chain stores have no idea what they are talking about when they help you. They also try to peg you with items that you don’t need. Luckily this is where Viking Imports comes in!
Viking Imports is a fixture in Charlotte, especially with the Concours community, and is one of the few places to get your hands on those hard-​to-​find parts for your Alfa Romero, BMW, Citroën, Datsun, Jaguar, and Volkswagen to name a few. They love to talk cars here and Richard is very knowledgeable about all different types of cars old and new. I like to think of him as a car savant. If an item that you seek is not in stock, Richard will try to help you locate the item for you. If Viking Imports would be open on the weekends or on Saturdays it would get a five star rating from me.

I’ve purchased a LOT of auto parts in my time, but have never run into a place like this! I called and got some pricing on parts, wrote them down, then called around some more to find better pricing, like I always do, like everyone does. I found all parts for a better price with the exception of one part that they had quoted me. When I told Johnny that I just needed the one part, he was upset that I purchased elsewhere. He wouldn’t sell me the part that I needed for the price quoted and added $ 38 to a $ 110 part!!! This is NOT the kind of business that I would associate with. When I need import parts next time, I won’t be calling them!!!
