DA Imports

This place is one of the best if not the best auto shop I have ever been too. The service is amazing, they know what they are talking about, they don’t beat around the bush with you they give you honest answers and very honest and fair pricing. I will continue to take my 1985 Mercedes here for as long as I can! Don’t waste your time searching, DA imports is the only place to take your car!

This was an amazing experience. I pulled up for an estimate and Jack took a look at my torn electrical wire in the headlight assembly. He told me to pull my car around the back and he quickly fixed the wire free of charge. He was the nicest, most honest technician/​owner I’ve ever dealt with. His action spoke volumes for the quality of work and the integrity of the business. Jack has earned my business for life. I look forward to getting his help when I need work done on my car and my wife’s car. I would recommend this honest business to anyone looking for repairs and a trustworthy owner.

Dad and son make a great combo and I have been using them for nearly 20 years. I drive from Long Beach as I trust them and they are affordable compared to so much of the unscrupulous repair shops around. Keep up the great work.

It is a family run business, very Honest and hard working people. They know their job and offer the best price you may find to fix import cars.

Ask for Jack.
Very amazing experience coming to this small privately owned shop. If you’re in the O.C. area I would come here and get an estimate on what ever fixes you need!
Before I finalized my decision with going to D.A. Imports, I went to a few other shops and found that D.A. Imports offered the best value and the best customer service possible.
I’ve been tricked with fixing my car before because I didn’t do my research. So this time I spent an abundant amount of time asking questions, searching online, and visiting numerous shops. This helped me get a gauge on how much parts and labor costs in total. However, this is half the battle because you need to find someone who will tell you, honestly, what are the things that actually need to be fixed. See my pros and cons below!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Pros:
1. Very honest and thorough when examining your car.
2. Outlines most important fixes and still notifies you about small things that are more cosmetic. He tells you what is wrong, and explains what happens if you were to continue using the car if these parts are not fixed. (I had to do my own research online just to make sure everything he said is similar to what many of you’ve said in general.)
3. Provides suggestions on parts if you do not want OEM.
4. Fast service (if there is a delay, Jack will notify you right away and explain the situation)
5. Great value (when compared to the other shops I went to and when searching online)
6. Warranty on all fixes for 1 year. If you notice something wrong with his fixes he will take care of it.
7. Explains all the problems clearly.
8. At the end of the job, he shows you the new parts exactly on the car, and also shows you your old parts that he took out.
9. Very personable.
10. Very knowledgeable with BMWs
11. Owns an e46 M3 vert.
12. Shows how much he cares for his family, especially his dad who also works at the shop.
Cons:
1. Does not have his own alignment equipment (although not many of the other shops did either). He knows of people who do alignment and has explained that the alignment shop he’d take my car to does the alignment very well!

If you are hesitant, just give him a call! He will earn your trust through his knowledge and personable character.
He will not cheat you in any way, and does his best to provide you the quality service that you want.
Hope this helps all of you!
Cheers!

I have been taking my BMWs to Jack and DA Imports for about 8 years now. He is very honest and reasonable with his rates. I never have to question anything that Jack tells me. He is the reason that I feel confident buying and owning used BMWs, because he takes care of my cars.
Not only do you get outstanding services and quality workmanship at rates well below the dealer service centers, they treat you like family.

I heard DA imports on E46fanatics forum. I went there with my wife’s 09 mini for fixing the unbalanced and shaking steering wheel. Jack took the car for a test drive with me. We discuss the problem and possible source. It is very nice of him to take his time and carefully check everything for me to make sure the thing is done right at the first time. We both suspect the control arm could be bent, and wheel is bent. He checked the arm, bushing, tie rod, aligned the car as close to the spec as possible. Then swap the damaged wheel to the back to double check the driving feels right. Brought the car in yesterday and got phone call this afternoon with car ready to go. He told me all the things he did and checked, even the alignment number before and after. So I know, he is doing the right thing and covering all the places could go wrong.
I am 100% satisfied with his work. That’s God’s children should do. Highly recommended. I am taking my bimmer in very soon for maintenance, although I do most of the work myself.

Dear Gary and other viewers, I would like to mention that DA Imports has never gone out of business but has been in the process of relocating! DA Imports is now located in the same complex in unit F and G. I have been with DA Imports now for 10 years and have been going to them since I moved to Long Beach because first, they are honest, do great work and have always taken care of me. I have been to other German car garages before them and realize that I have been taken advantage of at times but NEVER with DA Imports. I’m excited to have my car now in good hands!!!
