The team at Continental Imports is truly second to none. I have never encountered a repair shop more dedicated to customer care and experience. I needed major work done on my 2019 Kia Sorento—including a transmission replacement—and they handled everything with ease. They even worked directly with my warranty provider (MaxCare from CarMax) to ensure coverage. When they discovered additional issues related to my vehicle’s mileage (such as spark plugs, coil packs, and a leaky axle), they coordinated with the warranty company again, keeping my out-the-door price as low as possible to fit my budget.

My service advisor, Gina, was a pleasure to work with. She kept me informed throughout the entire process, updating me on inspector visits, parts arrivals, repair progress, and the final test drive. I always knew exactly what was happening with my vehicle.
Their hours are very accommodating (open early and until 6 p.m.), making it easy to drop off or pick up your car before or after work. The shuttle service was also very convenient, providing rides as needed.
I highly recommend Continental Imports. As a local Gainesville business with a long history of community engagement and support, they are an absolute pleasure to work with.

I would like to thank RJ and the rest of all staff who helped out in my experience with my vehicle. After getting the runaround in my town, I landed myself here from a great recommendation. Even when an incident I question it was handled fairly. I had to travel there and I was accommodated to meet several deadlines, like my kids extra curriculum activities were still met with no hesitation. I also appreciate the cleanliness of the location as well. It’s a place I felt comfortable waiting for my vehicle. Thanks.

I have had really great experiences getting both normal maintenance and repairs done at Continental Imports. Gina is amazing to work with and always explains what repairs we should prioritize. They have been able to work with me on price and I often choose to get multiple things done at one time. They've been great at respecting my budget and working within that. My car is 10 years old now and it's really important to me to understand what I should be investing in to keep it running. They get work done quickly, and always give my car back clean and perfect.

Continental Imports is AMAZING and has been nothing short of a Godsend since I decided to switch to German cars. I’ve been bringing my 2019 Audi SQ5 & 2009 ML550 to them for about two years now, and these guys have been absolute legends! I'm going to focus on the Audi right now. They've tackled everything from my motor mounts, 30,000 miles service maintenance to water pump issues, oil filter gasket leaks, front control arms and struts. Most recently, at just 37,000 miles, it seems that the engine has decided to peace out. While this is definitely a nightmare situation for me, the team at Continental Imports stepped up without hesitation.

Most recently, at just 37,000 miles, it seems that the engine has decided to peace out. While this is definitely a nightmare situation for me, the team at Continental Imports stepped up without hesitation. They got on the phone with my extended warranty provider, and even coordinated with Audi’s own extended warranty. And the cherry on top? They personally hauled my car over to the Audi dealership to get the repairs moving. It's so rare to find a shop that cares this much about both the car and the customer. I totally trust them with my vehicles, and I’m beyond grateful for their honesty, professionalism, and commitment to quality work. If your European car is acting up and you don’t want to get robbed blind at a "stealership" or deal with a shady mechanic, take it to Continental. I can’t recommend them enough! A special shout out to Gina for making this all a little less painful and RJ for always being awesome!

Robert R was fantastic to work with! My 2016 LR4 needed a new transmission and engine coolant cross-over pipes. He provided consistent updates on the repairs and had the vehicle back to me in a week! I felt the pricing was fair and there were no surprises. I highly recommend Continental Imports of Gainesville for your European Auto servicing needs.
