Import Specialties of Columbia SC, since 1974

Import Specialties (originally known as “The Bug House”), was founded in 1974, and moved to Rosewood Drive in 1986. In September 2014, The Cohen Family acquired the business. Today, we are proud to provide service to former customers who continued on with us after the change of ownership, as well as many new clients who reflect David’s broader interests.

We believe first impressions are everything, which is why when you walk into Import Specialties, you’re welcomed with a fresh, clean lobby and a friendly, professional staff.

Everyone here wants your car to have a long, healthy life. Our team will help you maintain your car by providing long-term care, as well as acute-problem diagnosis and repair.
