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.

The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) offers a testing and certification program to professional automotive technicians.

Twice yearly the institute gives a series of written tests which measure diagnostic and repair skills. Upon passing the exam, and providing proof of a minimum of two years of hands-on experience, a professional becomes ASE certified in a particular area, such as Brakes, Automatic Transmissions, Steering, etc. There are eight basic tests and several advanced tests.

Any professional who is certified in all eight areas is certified as a Master Automotive Technician. Every 5 years, professionals must be retested to remain certified. Our technicians are all certified and we have four Master Technicians. Because of this, our shop has been recognized in the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence Recognition Program. This program requires that;

At least 75% of technicians performing diagnosis and repairs must be ASE certified.
At least one technician must be ASE certified in each area of service offered.
At least one service writer/estimator must be ASE certified as well.
