5 star auto shop right here! I don't take my car anywhere else. Reliable, trustworthy and affordable pricing are what I look for in a mechanic and this place checks all of these boxes!

They go above and beyond here. I caught the man as he was leaving an overtime shift after I got a flat tire. He took the time to reinflate my tire and help me find a place for a fix the next day. They don't typically do tires here and it was an hour past close. Thanks Hudson automotive

I had some fairly involved engine work done on my 2003 BMW 540i (which I plan on keeping for a long time), and Nahn was an expert in everything. He sent videos along the way, recommended things to also replace (or not replace) when he had the engine opened up. Great communication and very fast work. I called about 10 shops to do this work on my car, and only 3 said they'd actually do it (other shops said they didn't have the tools or didn't want to touch it). Nahn was by far the best value among the 3 that would actually do the work, and when all said and done, the amount due was LESS than his original quote (and he replaced a few extra parts). Very trustworthy and honest, I will be taking ALL of my vehicles to Hudson in the future. Totally recommend them. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Thank you!

Took my car in to get my brakes repaired, which they were able to fix in a couple hours. The owner kept me updated and communicated with me from the beginning to end. They were very thorough and clear with the estimates and the repair process. The owner was super nice and you can definitely tell they care about their customers. I recommend this place highly.Service: Brakes

Hudson Import Auto Services (Nahn) is hands down the MOST REPUTABLE auto repair/business owner I've EVER encountered! Nahn is the owner - a most dedicated-hard working hands-on sort of guy. His place is so neat and clean too! He services ALL makes and models not just imports! I would suggest making an appointment though as he's always extremely busy!I luckily found Hudson Imports and Nahn several years ago. To date has NEVER failed me when my car has needed a specific diagnosis, major repair or just a tune-up... plus its always done right the 1st time.His complete passion for the work that is done there, his integrity, trust-worthiness, patience, kindness, his vast knowledge with unbeatable prices just can't be compared to a dealership in any way, shape or form!Also, there's not enough words to describe the lovely human being he is inside and out. He treats his customers and their concerns with great care! Nahn is, without a doubt, a rare find!!~ All I gotta say is May GOD Bless Him Always!

Hudson Import is the best experience I have ever had with a mechanic. Nahn is direct and honest. After a mistake by the dealership with part delivery, he clearly communicated the issue and when I could expect it to be resolved. He offered a temporary fix that would allow me to safely drive the car while we wait for the right part. He was kind and generous throughout our entire interaction.Thank you!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Great service and exceptional hard work from Hudson Import Automotive on my BMW 5 Series. Their prices are unbeatable on top of that. I will be taking any work for my car here. Highly recommended for import vehicles, there is an emphasis on efficiency and integrity at this location.

Great service, price, and turn around on my BMW X5. Saved thousands compared to dealership estimate and Hudson imports applied all OEM parts. Communication and diagnostic was spot on. Highly recommend this shop, satisfied customer for years.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repairServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

While returning from Kentucky visiting my son in school with my wife and my daughter we started losing power and had to pull off the highway. We were just outside Columbus and it was after 5:00 . We took a chance and googled the nearest auto repair garage and selected Hudson Import Automotive. As we pulled into the lot and were met by Nahn who advised he did not take walk ins but considering our situation he would try to help. We cringed as he put the diagnostic computer on the car as Mercedes repairs are never cheap. NAHN WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Not only did he keep the shop open late to diagnose the vehicle but he recommended a nearby hotel as the repairs would have to be done the next day. He went above and beyond to make sure were all set with a room and offered to drive us to another hotel if they weren't able to accommodate us. Nahn ordered the parts he thought we would need and kept troubleshooting just to make sure we the part actually needed to be replaced. He found the part at a grear price and passed those savings to us. He had up back on the road in a few hours the next day and even texted us while on the way home to New York to make sure everything was good. He insisted we let him know when we made it home safely. I have never experienced better service . Nahn was truly a godsend to our family. If I could I would rate him a hundred stars. Excellent service and an amazing person. It was truly an honor to meet such a kind soul. Can't thank him enough.

Nahn is a wonderful owner and I go here for all my car work! He obviously cares about his customers and is very honest. He's stood by his work and often will send me videos of any issues so I can confirm. He's absolutely lovely, kind, and always very friendly when I visit. The shop is affordable too (he's beat out ludicrous quotes from other places) and he'll tell me if anyone is trying to oversell me on what actually needs fixed. TEN OF TEN!

I purchased what was supposed to be a museum quality vehicle from out of state. After a full examination at Hudson Import...I knew without question that the vehicle was not as advertised. Hudson Import was on top of so many problems that saved me thousands. I can say enough about the positive experience I had and the expertise that was provided. Hudson is a bit out of my way ...but I will take all my cars to him.

This is the best auto shop I've ever been to. Honest estimates, quality work that they stand behind, and great rates. Mr. Le has been my mechanic for a few years now, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my family's safety in my ride. This shop is very very busy for a reason, make sure you call ahead and make an appointment.

Absolutely great first experience. The owner is professional, patient and does a great job explaining things after the work is done etc. Fair prices, and completed the work in timely fashion. The one thing I really appreciated is that my truck is a rather unique import and not even their specialty, but it was no problem for them, true professionals. Highly recommend and I'm sure will be calling on them again in the future.

If you want an honest, reliable and affordable service on ALL your car repair needs, this is definitely the ONE AND ONLY PLACE to go to! I've been coming here for many years now to get my van oil changed, maintenances & all the repairs when needed. All the mechanics there are super nice, friendly and very helpful. They always take their time and make sure everything works well on your vehicles. They work on all kinds of cars, both domestic and import cars. Their shop is very big, nice, clean and secured. The main and most important thing is that their prices on all their services are WAY CHEAPER than a lot of other car repair shops that I've been to in the past. I've always been very satisfied with all the services that I got done there. Again, great services and inexpensive prices, you can never beat that, right?!

Was in a pinch with being stuck in Columbus 2 hours away from home and decided to come here. Certainly was not disappointed as the owner Nhan was incredibly nice and helpful in getting the radiator and a few other issues fixed and ready to go. Gave great updates and information throughout the repair. Highly recommendService: Engine repairService: Engine repair

I wish I could give Hudson Import more than 5 stars! We've dealt with the owner, Nhan, every time, and he is very thorough, knowledgable, trustworthy, and generally a kind person. Anytime we've had an issue with either of our cars, he's explained the problem in detail and has even taken photos and videos to document exactly what needs to be repaired. The prices are very reasonable too.When we moved to Columbus a few years ago, we were worried about finding a good mechanic, but luckily we found this place.

I went here with a worn down winter beater (last year) and was treated no differently than any other customer. My repairs was down quick and he even diagnosed my car for free! I seriously thought I'd get treated differently cause of the cars I saw there vs mine but nope I will most certainty come here for any other repairs. I've been meaning to write this review for awhile but here we are.Very honest, upfront and genuine repair shop.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Wheel alignment, Brakes

What an honest experience and total high quality craftsmanship. My 2007 Toyota Tundra with 300,000 miles on had an ABS problem. I took it to a national chain and they basically told me ABS was broken but I should go to the dealer. So I called Nhan, the owner and operator of Hudson Import. He told me to bring it down. He diagnosed the problem but because the truck had more problems Nhan had to rewire lots of parts. After he finished the ABS issues he took the truck for a test drive. He heard a noise I had not heard and determined the ball bearings had gone bad on the hind axle. He sent me photos and texts while doing the work and they were bad. Quality of work was outstanding the shop was super clean. The business followed all health board orders and I felt very safe. I will go back all the time and would recommend him for anything they do specialize in forgien imports but i think he will work on any car. Cost is very competitive. I will even go for a simple oil change. Side note Nhan, called me 3 weeks later to confirm everything was still working well. You will not be disappointed using this family owned business.Services: Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic

This is my go to place for my car in Columbus. I rarely go out of my way to rate companies but being able to find such a reliable place to take my car around here had proven near impossible until I found Hudson Auto.I can't say enough about the owner here -- incredibly nice and friendly guy! He went out of his way to call my dad who lives far from me to explain what was wrong with my car. It's refreshing to find a place with friendly, honest, and trustworthy staff and ownership who do a great job on cars in a very reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend this place.

After years of supporting this business, I can truly say that the owner Nahn and his lovely wife truly care about relationships. Recently my vehicle was towed to the shop aftee sitting in the same spot for over a week I was told that I needed a new engine. I knew it wasn't true so I towed it somewhere else and got it fixed without any engine work being done. Nahn and his wife both addressed the situation after it came to their attention that I was charged for service that obviously wasn't done. The apology for the broken trust honestly meant far more than the refund. Our relationship has been restored.Service: General repairs & maintenance

The most knowledgeable automotive repair service I have ever used. They do great work at a reasonable price. I use them on all of my other automobiles that are out of the manufacturers warranty. Seems like it would be a good place to work and they are always looking for qualified technicians if you are in there market for a job I will suggest trying them!

I picked up my Benz today. 5/31/19. I was a bit nervous because I'm new to the area and I had a 4 hour drive ahead of me. My car drove like it did the day I drove out the dealership. Major front end - wheel bearing work completed with full replacement and an oil change. The price was reasonable AND the car was back in excellent condition! Thanks Nahn, every last one of those stars was well deserved.

I've been coming here for 10 years, they are the best in Columbus, hands down. I don't take my cars anywhere else. If you consider the area, you would understand what this place sometimes has to deal with - impossible 1 star individuals. This is 5 star service and pricing.

Nhan and his team has been working on my fiance's cars over the years and she swears by him. 6 months ago, we priced out a necessary car repair for her with Hudson Imports & 2 other companies, and not only Hudson Imports the most complete fix, but they were the low bid by $200+ than the next lowest. Nhan has also helped diagnose and fix some major problems with my car this past week. The difference was night and day- the car drove like it was brand new again. REALLY impressed with their diagnostic work, their transparency, the quality of their work, and the value of their work. Highly Recommend Nhan & Hudson Import Automotive to anyone having trust issues with their current mechanic... these guys are worth getting a quote from

I've used Hudson Imports for about the last six year's and can't speak highly enough of Nhan and his entire staff. Honest, extremely hard working, PHENOMENAL PRICES and friendly. Basically, everything you hope for in a car dealership, but never get. At any given time you will see cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars being serviced, but his prices don't reflect that. Just a straight forward place.

This guy really did not know what he was doing when he brought in my car. After 2 days of looking through my car, he decided there were 4 things wrong that all needed to be replaced. I sent my car to my dealership for a second opinion and all they said was the ignition switch. A normal $500 repair was turned into over $1000 because this guy was unable to diagnose the problem and also could not put my car back into the working order I gave it to him. My dealership, when they got my car, had to not only diagnose the problem that I had, but also had to fix the car from all of the manipulation of this dealership. I will never use Hudson again.
