Gastonia, NC · Since 2009
Gastonia's Trusted
European Auto Experts
We built Import Auto Tech for one reason: Gastonia drivers with European vehicles deserved better than a general shop — and didn't want to pay dealership prices to get it.
Our Story
Import Auto Tech started because Gastonia's European car owners deserved better. Too many people were getting generic repairs, vague diagnoses, and bills that didn't add up — just because they drove a BMW or a Mercedes.
We opened this shop to change that. We invested in the same tools the dealerships use, hired technicians who actually specialize in European makes, and committed to one thing: telling you exactly what's wrong and what it costs before we touch your car.
Today, hundreds of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Land Rover, and MINI owners across Gaston County trust us with their vehicles. We care about getting it right — not just getting it done.
"We want every customer to leave knowing exactly what we did, why we did it, and that it was done right."
What Sets Us Apart
Factory-Grade Expertise
We use the same diagnostic software and OEM procedures that European dealerships use — BMW ISTA, Mercedes XENTRY, Porsche PIWIS. No guesswork, ever.
Transparent Honesty
We show you exactly what we find. Clear pricing, written estimates, and we never perform work you didn't authorize. No surprises.
