About Northwest Imports
Northwest Imports was founded in November 1984 by David Wostarek and Robert Chilek, who were the Shop Foreman and Service Manager at a Porsche Audi dealership at the time. Frustrated by the corporate constraints that prevented them from delivering optimal customer service, they decided to create Northwest Imports with the primary goal of prioritizing customer care. Initially, the focus was on European car brands such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and Volkswagen. However, over time, Asian makes like Toyota and Honda were incorporated into our services.
Northwest Imports is an auto repair shop in Austin, Texas. It is listed at 13200 Pond Springs Rd Ste. C5, Austin, TX 78729, which places it among the local businesses of Austin that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as auto air conditioning service, auto electrical service, auto tune up service, so it may cover more than the name suggests.
In Austin, shops are busiest on Monday mornings and before holiday weekends, so a mid-week appointment gets a car seen faster. Labor rates across Texas vary by neighborhood and by shop type, from small independents to dealership service bays, and mobile mechanics now cover many routine jobs in the driveway. Before authorizing a repair, ask for the estimate in writing, whether the shop warranties parts and labor (12 months / 12,000 miles is common, some offer more), and whether it can provide a loaner or a shuttle. Check the listing for hours, the makes the shop works on and its Google rating, then call ahead, since walk-in capacity is limited at smaller shops.
Hours are published for 5 days a week. Typical hours are 8 amβ5:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Saturday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Northwest Imports at (512) 601-8246; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is nwimports.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
Customers rate it 4.9 out of 5 on Google across 561 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded auto repair shops in Austin.
Austin is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. Traffic in Austin peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

5 stars I had an excellent first experience with Northwest Imports. I recently purchased a 2014 Porsche Boxster S and brought it to Northwest for a baseline inspection and service after an independent PPI. Bob and the crew were outstanding. They reviewed my service records, inspected the car carefully, communicated clearly, and helped me prioritize what actually needed attention versus what could simply be monitored. They performed an oil service, PDK fluid service, and coolant pressure test, and confirmed the car was in excellent condition with no unnecessary upselling. What impressed me most was their honesty. I asked about replacing the battery because of its possible age, and Bob told me it tested well and replacing it now would basically be taking my money. That kind of candor builds trust quickly. Bob and the team were professional, thorough, and clearly experienced with Porsche service. They also took the time to discuss the convertible top operation and gave practical advice rather than pushing unnecessary diagnostic time. I left feeling confident that I had found the right local shop to help maintain the car. Highly recommend Northwest Imports.

We had a lot of maintenance needed to be done on a family memberβs 2007 Honda Accord. Called NW Imports got a day and time bring in the car. They checked everything out, gave us details of what needed to be done, prioritized each item in four or five categories of importance, and priced each. We had all the work done and the car now drives great, runs smooth and they even saved us money off their original quote! Also we had a quote from the dealer and they beat that price a lot! Work done on time and stayed in touch with us throughout!

He took the time to educate me about my vehicle, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand and ensuring I felt informed and confident about the service being performed. His expertise, honesty, and communication made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

Thank you, Ross and Northwest Imports, for exceeding my expectations! Karen Hookstra

I had a fantastic experience at Northwest Imports. Bob and the team really went above and beyond while working on my S2000. They were extremely thorough with the car and took the time to make thoughtful recommendations to ensure everything was performing exactly as it should. What stood out most was their attention to detail and clear communication throughout the processβI always felt informed and confident in the work being done. Itβs not easy to find a shop you can fully trust with a car like this, but theyβve definitely earned mine. Iβll absolutely continue bringing my car here for anything, big or small. Great experience all around.
