Parker Imports

Jon did a great job on my kia amanti. Gave me a recomended repair with a money saving service. Second repair @ parker imports.

The staff here is great! They are clearly knowledgable and just as friendly. Both my cars only go to dealerships and everytime I take my BMW to Schomp for an oil change they always find over $ 1000 worth of stuff that needs to be fixed that were clearly not a problem, so I may start taking that car here now too.
The vehicle I brought in was my Porsche, a month earlier I had it at Stevinson for the same issue they told me how much it would cost but told me it didn’t need to be fixed right away (and for $ 2600 I was fine with waiting if they said it was okay) sure enough a few weeks later my Porsche was smoking. I brought it there, they were familiar with the problem, quoted me a couple hundred bucks less, and they got it done in just a couple of days. They did an outstanding job and I truly trusted them which is a nice piece of mind to have.
The ONLY reason it isn’t 5 stars is they didn’t get rid of the coolant that leaked under the hood that I can’t get to. Now when parked in the garage all you smell is coolant, so that’s a bummer, but everything else was outstanding.

These guys found and fixed a problem that I had with my car for two years. It was a sound that was so deceiving we didn’t know if it was mechanical, a loose part or a fuel system problem. They stuck with it until they discovered it was the catalytic converter. No one else could figure out the problem. Thank you Chance and Jon!

I needed to get a headlamp fixed on my Mercedes. I took the car in for an estimate since I had heard quotes over the phone that ranged from $ 50 — $ 250.
Chanc Berndt took my car in and within 10 min had the headlamp fixed. Service price: $ 0!
I insisted on paying something but he refused payment. Instead just asked me to come back next time we needed service. His reason for the free service, the headlamp just needed an inexpensive bulb replacement and nothing more.
Incredible integrity! He could have quoted me anything he wanted (doesn’t mean I would have accepted service) and over-​charged me for the simple fix. The fact he didn’t has earned him my business next time.
The shop is clean and the staff is very friendly. You feel when inside the shop that they want to become a big part of the community and service the locals well. They are invested in their reputation and deserve to be considered for all import service.
Very happy to have visited their shop!

Between tires and engine repairs, I’ve had a run of bad luck with my diesel Mercedes over the last two years. John and Chance will attest to that, I’m sure! LOL.
I had some of the repairs quoted at the dealer (and at a bad tire & brake shop in Parker) and Parker Imports always came in less expensive. One problem was just a loose connection that the dealer wanted about $ 450 to «repair» (things that make you hmmm). Parker Imports secured the connection at no charge. :)
Car problems are expensive and not fun at all, but at least John and Chance are super friendly (as is everyone that I have interacted with there — the owner, and two of the mechanics). Parker Imports offers fair pricing, and they try to complete the repairs in a timely manner.
Thanks!

I came to Parker imports for a second opinion. My local mechanic told me I needed a new transmission and the inspector from the warranty company concurred. Estimate was $ 3400.
After going to Parker imports it turns out that there was an engine mount loose causing the gear shifting problem. After $ 400 the symptoms went away.
John Kerns gives you a feeling of confidence when you place your car with him and clearly that confidence is built on something substantial.

This shop is wonderful. They have done repairs on my Honda several times (all different issues — it’s an old car), and every time have been honest, friendly, and efficient. I would never take my car anywhere else.

Brought my mercedes in to have the engine mounts worked on. I had brought it into lIttleton MB, and they told me they didn’t need work, but the car was shaking badly enough to make me worried. They fixed it right up, and the car has been purring like a kitten since. Friendly, efficient, honest. We take both cars there now.

Nice to find an honest shop. The first two times I had a problem, they ended up helping me out and I didn’t actually need any repair. It would have been easy to recommend a repair, but instead, they fixed it with a simple fluid fill (my make of car is very sensitive), and the error code was quickly resolved, and the second repair wasn’t needed at that time either, but I guarantee most shops would have recommended it. All of my other visits have also been positive, I am glad I found them.

Would not ever consider this place again… Had my car towed in to have a simple repair done… I already knew what was wrong with the car but they insisted that other repairs needed to be done. Had them give me a quote and then I called a few other places and the quote they gave me was more than double each of the other 4 places I called. Had my car taken to another shop that I had used before and turns out, the only repair that needed to be done was the one I knew about before hand.
What did I learn from this experience? This shop lies to you and tries to get you to agree to work that doesn’t need to be done and they try to charge completely outrageous rates.

I have been bringing my car here for years and always have good service. The place is clean, well designed, has magazines for women, coffee, and is just welcoming. They have always seemed honest and «normal» (important with car repair places) and I will continue going back.
