MenuImport Specialists is a family owned business that has been around since 1985. It started as a four bay shop that has grown to over 12,000 square feet of operating space. Our waiting area is extremely comfortable with couches instead of had back chairs and a wide variety of reading material. We also have a work station complete with wifi. A completely remodeled public library is within walking distance.
