Cared For
Your car is treated like ours
European and import vehicles require specialized knowledge, tools, and parts. We focus on what we do best so your car gets the attention it deserves.
Advanced scan tools and manufacturer-specific protocols to pinpoint issues fast — from check engine lights to complex electrical gremlins.
Pad replacements, rotor resurfacing, caliper service, and fluid flushes — done right the first time so you feel confident every stop.
From timing belt replacements to full engine rebuilds and transmission restoration — we handle the complexity so you don't have to.
Follow your manufacturer's service schedule with honest, thorough maintenance — oil changes, fluid services, inspections, and more.
Sacramento summers are brutal — we keep your cabin comfortable with AC recharge, compressor repair, and climate control diagnostics.
Don't get caught off guard — we'll identify and fix what you need before your smog check or safety inspection to save time and stress.
We're not a generalist shop stretching yourself thin. Advanced Import Auto exists to serve European and import vehicle owners in Sacramento who want honest, expert care.
We speak German, Japanese, Italian, and Korean — not just languages, but the engineering behind them.
We'll tell you what needs attention now, what can wait, and what you can skip — no upselling, no pressure.
OEM or high-quality aftermarket — we explain your options and work within your budget without cutting corners.
We're on Haggin Ave because we want to serve our community. Pull in and meet the people who'll care for your car.
Advanced Import Auto was founded on a simple belief: import car owners in Sacramento deserve a shop that understands their vehicles the way they do. We're not a franchise or a chain — we're a local shop built on skill, integrity, and a genuine passion for European and import engineering.
Whether it's a daily driver or a weekend project, every vehicle that enters our bay gets the same standard of care. We take the time to diagnose correctly, explain clearly, and fix it right — so you can get back on the road with confidence.

"I've been bringing my BMW here for years. They always explain exactly what's wrong and what can wait. Honest, reliable, and they actually stand behind their work."
M. Rodriguez

"Finally found a shop that actually knows Mercedes! They diagnosed an issue two other places missed. Fair price, great communication, and I left feeling like they had my best interest at heart."
S. Kim
Mercedes Owner · Carmichael
"As a first-time VW owner, I was nervous about maintenance costs. They walked me through everything, showed me what was urgent vs. what could wait, and never made me feel silly for asking questions."
