About
Bruce Cox Imports

Servicing the Bellingham
Area Since 1995

Bruce Cox Imports has proudly served the Bellingham area since 1995, built from the ground up by Bruce Cox and his family. Bruce discovered his passion for automotive technology at Renton Vocational College and became a Master Certified technician working for Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW in Seattle. Desiring to raise a family where he grew up in Whatcom County, Bruce moved to Bellingham with his wife and daughter in 1989 and began work as a technician at the local Volvo dealership.

 

With encouragement from family and the determination to serve Bellingham with high quality auto care, Bruce opened his own shop and dealership on State Street in June of 1995. Initially specializing in Volvo service and sales, Bruce worked to develop a customer base and earn the trust of drivers in Whatcom County.

The business steadily grew, attracting talented employees, many of whom remain integral parts of the team today. Over the years, Bruce Cox Imports expanded its automotive expertise beyond Volvo to include Subaru, Lexus, Toyota, and many other makes.

 

Bruce’s son, Charlie, worked as a detailer and cleaner at the shop throughout high school and college, and after graduating college in 2014, he joined the team full-time in the Parts and Service departments. In 2019, Bruce faced significant health challenges, prompting his son to step into a leadership role. Bruce sadly passed away in December 2020, but his legacy lives on through the continued dedication and commitment to quality service upheld by the entire Bruce Cox Imports team.

 

Today, Bruce Cox Imports remains rooted in family values, exceptional customer care, and automotive excellence—a homegrown business that generations have trusted and continue to rely on.

We had a problem show up suddenly that needed immediate attention before we headed out of town with the car. The Bruce Cox team squeezed us in the same day and got the job done, and we are grateful for their good work!

I took my 2018 Subaru Outback to Bruce Cox to fix the TPMS. Roberto (front desk) gave me a clean Mazda loaner for the day; I had asked for the Ferrari, but he said it was unavailable. Oh, well. Anyway, the diagnosis and repair process took less than a day. Very convenient for me! I have always been impressed with Bruce Cox’s professionalism, promptness and communication, and today was no exception. They are excellent with Subarus.

My Volvo was serviced there recently, it was SO great not to have to go to Seattle to the dealership for it AND they saw me the next day, did the same work as the dealer and it was CHEAPER! Wish I found these guys earlier!!!

Thanks for checking out the problems with my car although I think the owner is part of the problem. The other problem is that newer cars are very complicated and it’s very hard to look through a 400 page auto manual to find out what the problem is.
