A-1 Imports Autoworks - Auto Repair Shop In San Rafael

Love these guys, they have done work on my Subaru twice now adding aftermarket off road parts (from Rallitek). I would highly recommend them to anyone for either car fixes or car upgrades. The owner is very detail oriented and explained to me everything he had to do for one of the mods I had him install (a winch kit), which was so helpful!!!

I’ve been taking my 95 BMW to JP for a while now and he’s been dependable and fixes what is needed vs finding new stuff to fix on my car!! He also appears to use quality parts and fix things properly. Like all of you, I’ve had bad experiences at other shops and dealerships selling me on repairs I don’t need, but JP seems honest and helpful in contrast.

I just want to share a quick thank you to the team at A-1. They did a coolant system repair on my Audi S3 and about five or six months later, I noticed that the coolant level had dropped a bit. They set a convenient time for me to bring the car in and did a full pressure test of the system without any questions asked. As it turns out they didn't find a leak (thankfully) .... I just really appreciate that they took responsibility for the original work and took care of this. Follow up inspection without any additional charge. I would absolutely recommend working with these guys.

JP is no-nonsense about his service. He’s a problem solver. He’s not a technician that just plugs in a computer and replaces a part because the computer said so. He diagnoses, understands the issues, only uses OEM parts and actually fixes your problem. As a master mechanic, he works on many different vehicles. And even unique ones like our Diesel Sprinter Vans

JP Cadoux at A-1 is very talented mechanic who's able to tackle all sorts of car problems on all sorts of cars. You may see a lot of BMW's there but he also can fix vintage Jaguars and who knows what else. Recently he tuned up the triple Weber carbs on my '66 Jaguar XKE and got them running nicely. He's personable and his prices are reasonable. Expertise, good prices, not a jerk: what more could you ask for?
