FAQs

  • We specialize in import vehicles with a strong focus on Subaru performance builds. From Hondas and Toyotas to BMWs and Audis, we’ve got the experience and tools to keep your ride running at its best.

  • We do both!
    Metric Imports offers everything from basic maintenance (oil changes, brakes, inspections) to full performance upgrades — including suspension setups, engine builds, exhaust systems, and turbo installations. Whether your goal is reliability or track-ready performance, we’ll help you get there.

  • In most cases, yes — but we recommend letting us source parts whenever possible to ensure quality, compatibility, and warranty coverage. If you already have performance parts you’d like us to install, just reach out first so we can review your setup and schedule accordingly.

  • Absolutely. As a certified Subaru technician with deep import and Euro experience, we use advanced diagnostic tools to get to the root of issues — from check engine lights and drivability problems to complex electrical or tuning concerns. We’ll give you a full report before performing any repairs.

  • Yes — all standard repair work is backed by a 12-month/10,000-mile warranty, and most parts include their own manufacturer warranties. Performance upgrades vary depending on the parts and intended use (street, track, or off-road).

  • At Metric Imports, we’re not just mechanics — we’re car enthusiasts who live and breathe performance. Every build and every service is treated with care, precision, and attention to detail. We combine dealership-level training with a passion for the automotive community, so your car gets the quality work it deserves.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “Sam and Allie at Metric Imports are the BEST! Had a last minute issue with my 2018 Mazda when on a road trip from out of state, tried to find shops around town and couldn’t find any that were open, ended up at Metric Imports on a day they weren’t even supposed to be open and they helped me out BIG TIME. Thanks to Sam for his quick diagnosis and being able to repair my vehicle at a reasonable price. I HIGHLY recommend Metric Imports/ Sam to anyone who needs work done. Any future issue I have when in town this will be the first place I call in hopes they can help me out. Thanks again to Sam and Allie for going above and beyond on a day they weren’t even supposed to be open.”

    “I had a last minute problem arise with my 2010 Tacoma and after talking to Sam, he was able to sneak me in the following day to get it fixed so I could hit the road for a road trip. Great communication and even gave me info on things I could get fixed in the near future. I’d recommend Metric Imports/Sam to anyone who needs work done at a reasonable price in the area. I will most definitely be a returning client!”
