Some of Our Reviews

Your questions, clearly answered.

Service should feel precise, honest and comfortable from the first phone call through pickup.

My check engine light just came on. Do I need a diagnostic?

If your first thought is “my check engine light came on—what now?”, arrange a check engine light diagnostic rather than guessing at a replacement part. The warning can relate to a gas cap, sensor, ignition component, or another engine or emissions issue. Import Specialty Service in Nashville reads and interprets trouble codes and inspects the affected system before explaining the repair options.

How can I tell whether my car needs a wheel alignment?

Pulling to one side or tires wearing excessively can indicate an alignment problem. Similar symptoms can also come from the suspension, so an inspection should guide the repair. Import Specialty Service checks the cause and provides wheel alignment service to correct wheel angles and help the vehicle track properly.

When should I arrange headlight replacement?

Have dim, flickering, cloudy, or nonworking headlights checked rather than waiting for visibility to get worse. A replacement bulb may solve the problem, but electrical faults can require a different repair. Import Specialty Service evaluates automotive lights and offers headlight bulb replacement and electrical repairs based on the findings.

What should I check before electric car battery replacement?

First clarify which battery needs attention: the low-voltage auxiliary battery, often 12V, or the high-voltage traction battery that powers the vehicle. They are not interchangeable jobs. Import Specialty Service advertises EV battery and charging-system service; ask the team to confirm diagnosis, model compatibility, and available replacement options before authorizing work. A battery warning alone does not establish that the traction pack needs replacement.

Review EV repair and service options

What are signs that my car suspension needs repair?

A less stable ride or a change in steering control deserves an inspection. Worn suspension parts can affect comfort and handling, while leaks or misalignment may contribute to the problem. Import Specialty Service inspects steering and suspension systems and can repair or replace worn shocks, struts, control arms, and related components when needed.

​"I’ve been coming to Import Specialty Service for about four years now across two different European vehicles; first my Mercedes and now my BMW. Finding a shop you can genuinely trust with these cars is rare, but this team consistently earns that trust every single time. ​On my most recent visit, I came in dealing with a check engine light for an emissions error and a faulty tire pressure sensor. I’ve worked with Doug in the past, and he has always set the bar high with his knowledge and genuine focus on customer care. This time, he introduced me to Nicki to assist me, and she was absolutely phenomenal. There wasn’t a single drop-off in the quality of service or expertise. Nicki took the time to clearly break down every recommended service, explaining the importance of each item so I felt completely confident and informed about the work being done. ​That level of consistency and honesty is why I didn’t hesitate to send my son to them with his Volkswagen for a diagnostic, and he had the exact same great experience. When you find people who treat you and your family like this, you don’t go anywhere else. Thank you, Doug, Nicki, and the entire team!"

I loved how I got a detailed text of the services provided, and the needs of what my automobile needed , and the price to complete all services. Also services were done in a timely matter. And as expected everything was done in a professional manner. That is why I chose to come back. It drives and handles better than when I brought it in. Need to put a sign where you enter the shop and cut back some of the trees, or customers can pass right by. Over rating from me is a 10. Michael Jenkins

I took my vehicle in to have a leak repaired. The staff were courteous and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable leaving my Lexus with them. The work was great and the pricing was fair.
