Welcome To Continental Imports Service Department

We use nothing but the best for your fine automobile!

Bosch is the major supplier of electrical and fuel systems for most European import vehicles. Many Japanese and some domestic vehicles use fuel and electrical components manufactured under license to Robert Bosch Corporation. There are only 500 Bosch Authorized Service Facilities in the United States and Continental Imports is one of them. Shops carrying this designation have passed a rigorous set of criteria which qualifies them to attend Bosch factory training and purchase special equipment which is only available through Bosch.

In addition, Bosch supplies the latest specifications, workshop bulletins and update information to its Authorized Service Specialists. In many instances only the local dealer and the Bosch Service Specialists have access to information needed to diagnose and repair your vehicle.

When Bosch remanufactured electrical components are installed on your vehicle you have a one year warranty on parts and labor anywhere in the U.S., including free towing to a Bosch approved repair facility, if needed. If your vehicle has components by Bosch, an Authorized Service Center is always your best choice.
