These guys are the best. I have met Jimmy and Ted, and both are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. They have been excellent advisors and have taken great care of my vehicle. I cannot recommend them enough!

These are the good ones. I took my project car here for some help a few odds and ends that I am not equipped for in the garage. Everything was handled very professionally, no BS and they went the extra mile to finish the job properly. Honest folks, good work, and great communicators. Big thanks!

Amazing family run business thats been there for years. Never thought Id find an auto mechanic Id trust like I trust them. They are hardworking, humble and so reasonable. I recently got rid of my car, but theyve serviced my car for years and always provided the best service. Cant recommend them enough.

Great service and all the repairs have worked great. I even had one issue where they diagnosed it, didnt charge me for any fixes, but somehow the diagnosis process alleviated the problem.

I have been bringing my car and my wife’s car to Ted and his shop for years. They are the most professional, nicest, and efficient auto service I’ve ever worked with. Can’t recommend them enough.

Great service 👍. I will always bring my car to this shop !!

I’ve been going to Ted and Jim for a few years now. Nothing but great, positive experiences. They will walk you through your options and show you exactly what work they did once completed. They will earn and keep your trust in their work quality and expertise.

Take your car here if you value professional, friendly, honest and reasonable pricing. I didn’t realized I was ripped off by a previous place I used to go in Dorchester until I started taking my car here for servicing and going with done. They’re really accommodating of your pressing needs and deliver great results each time.

Very friendly and courteous shop. I had a problem with my car breaks and the crew were quick to get it in the shop and on the road again. Problems were detected and corrected in a timely and professional manner. Great shop and highly trained employees. Quality work is a very high standard here and satisfaction guaranteed.

I’ve been bringing our VWs here for years, and the service couldn’t be better — fairly priced, never looking to gouge you. I just brought my Bug in for an electrical issue — they replaced a fuse and checked all the lines: no charge. Customer for life.

55 stars if I could. Excellent everything, wouldnt bring the crosstrek anywhere else.

Ive worked with a lot of mechanics over the years, and these guys are some of the best. They are well equipped to handle any repair you may need, and they are upfront and honest about whats going on with your car. When I recently brought my Subaru in with a few problems, they looked over the whole car and gave me some great advice on what should be fixed immediately versus what could wait. I know that plenty of other shops would have just told me it all needed to be fixed right then, and it would have cost an arm and a leg.Service is very prompt and Ive never had any issues with their work (they also warranty everything). I trust them with my car completely.

Very professional shop with good communication. Nice lobby. They changed my oil plus filled tires and fluids without being asked. I asked them to check my engine mounts (there is sometimes a slight vibration at idle) and they said everything looked fine. I would not hesitate to use Foreign Auto Center for future maintenance and repairs.

Joe was awesome-- very helpful, clear, concise and honest. On time, fair price, great communication, couldnt ask for a better experience!

Great business with professional mechanics. This is probably the most honest and experienced auto repair shop that Ive ever been to. Jimmy is great and cares about his customers. So Cambridge and Somerville, look no further for great auto repair, give these guys a shot.

I travel long distances with a 2006 Honda. Never had a single problem thanks to them. Very kind people, great mechanics and prices.

Replaced a head lamp - on the spot. Little things say a lot. I came here with Subarus for years, then used dealership for 3 (new car). Ill never make that mistake again. The list of 5-star reviews leaves nothing more to say except I agree with all of them.

Foreign Auto Center is hand down THE BEST auto garage I’ve ever used. Ted and the team are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and communicative. They work with me to prioritize which repairs are urgent and which can be handled down the road, and they are happy to advise where I can source parts like wheels and tires that fit my budget. They are not pushy salesmen, but rather take real interest in customer satisfaction and doing a no-kidding good job. Ted has even responded to me off work hours to help me with part orders. I wouldn’t trust my car to anyone else!

Honest professional service at great prices. I’ve gotten maintenance and oil changes here several times for my Toyota Corolla. They are very quick and thorough.

Been going to these guys for years, every time I go Im so glad Ive found this shop..Theyre fair and wont upsell because they know more than you; theyre thorough and wont just start throwing expensive parts at a problem before theyve looked around at how everything is behaving; theyre honest about when its better to see a different shop or a dealer for a particular issue (but theyre always my first stop); theyre prompt and communicative about resolution and timeline expectations; theyre affordable; and, on top of all that, theyre kind people.

I have been taking my car to these guys for the last decade and they are absolutely fantastic!!! They are super professional, efficient, always friendly, incredibly fair and stand behind their work! I dont live in Cambridge anymore and I am still bringing my car here. Stopped in this morning to patch a tire and they did not disappoint. Its always a win/win when you can bring your business to great people who do a fantastic job! Cant recommend these guys highly enough!!!

I have been a customer for 15 years and the crew has kept my car in great shape, Toyota Corolla 2001; they are so professional. I cannot imagine more honest and kind people.

Excellent and honest service

I brought my car in to get fixed without an appointment. Jimmy had the issue diagnosed within an hour, and the part was replaced within 24 hours. While putting the car back together, Jimmy noticed another issue and had that part replaced before the end of the day. 36 hours later and I have my car back. Also, I was charged less than I was quoted which is always a plus. Would recommend for fast service and decent pricing.

Great mechanics! Professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Hands down the best place to take your car to in the area.

My gf gets her Bmw fixed here all the time so I decided to take my Nissan to theses guys and I can confidently say these guys are consistent Top Level mechanics. Great value, very professional, always honest, always efficient, always willing to go above and beyond when necessary. I highly recommend bringing your car here before anyone else.

Nice people, good work, fair prices, fast.

This is the best service center Ive ever used for my BMW.They are highly competent and far better priced than either dealership or other foreign car specialist Ive used before.I give these guys my strongest recommendation!

My engine light went on and I had a day to fix it before a long trip. I showed up with no appointment. Within a couple of hours of dropping it off I got a call letting me know the error light was triggered by a loose gas cap. Didnt charge me anything for it. Very much appreciate the quick service and generosity. Will be back

I have been taking my Subaru to Ted and co. for 3 years. They are professional, honest, and put the customer first.

Foreign Auto diagnosed my problem without charge, and ordered the part that I needed. Because of the age of my car I decided against the repair. They did not charge me a restocking fee for the part that had already come in, which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend them for their competence and honesty, and kindness.

My Altima started making some concerning noises so I called Foreign Auto Center for a last minute appointment. They were able to squeeze me in next day. Ted quickly diagnosed the problem and walked me through everything. Everyone at the garage is extremely professional and I never felt rushed or forced into paying for anything I didnt need. Their prices are fair and competitive. I will be bringing my car here in the future.

Ive brought my Toyota here a few times. Good people. Honest and generous. Im glad I found them.

I recently went to a few shops getting second and third opinions and, as always, Foriegn Auto came out having the best experience (wearing masks, socially distancing, etc), best price, and BY FAR best customer service. I always shop around for my auto repair and always end up at Foreign Auto

My to-go car mechanic for my BMW in Boston! I was looking for a reliable and honest car mechanic to have my brakes done and my 30K mileage check for my X1. Through google search, Foreign Auto Center has great 5 stars reviews. Since it’s not far from my work place, I decided to give it a try. My experiences with them were exceptional! They were very upfront with what needed to be done and how much it cost. They are responsive and efficient from start to end! My bumper had a big scratch and they ordered black paint to touch it up for free a couple of weeks later after fixing my brakes. I’m going to bring my car here going forward. Jimmy and Ted, father and son, make a great team!!! Try it and you won’t regret!

Quick excellent service and trustworthy diagnosis on my BMW, they kept me updated daily on progress and really focus on the great customer experience. Finding a quality auto shop tends to be a lottery these days, happy to have found my new go to.

They very well took care of my 2003 Volkswagen. There was a bit of a misunderstanding on the phone which items that Id like to get done. Turns out they did more than I asked for but didnt charge me for the extra work they put in. They are very efficient regarding quick fixes. Highly recommended!

Ted is the best. He repaired my car twice and I could not have had a better experience. Everyone there are so nice and professional. I recommend this place to anyone needing repairs.

Hassle free service.

Everyone was quick, super polite, and very pleasant. Came in with a pretty simple fix - they asked me exactly what I wanted and what I was okay with. Then they did exactly that for a fair price. Will definitely be coming back.

Did a great job on my truck thank you so much and it was so fast definitely coming back for sure

This is my go-to place for every auto repair, and they really couldnt be more exceptional. Theyre kind and pleasant on the phone and in person, theyre accommodating for every on-the-day repair, theyre extremely affordable and always come in under nationally recognized estimates for repairs... I really cant say enough good things about them. They even recommended that I buy tires online and have them shipped to their shop so that I could save $100 on tires! SO many other places would have used that as an easy opportunity to make more money. Top-notch all around!

Ted and Jimmy run a great business. Theyre honest and upfront about all costs and always try to save you as much money as possible. They made the car repair experience much less stressful over the time that I lived in Boston.

Very nice people. Accommodated me on a short notice and gave a good price. Good service

Ted, of Foreign Auto Center, is extremely professional,helpful and I trust his work very much. I highly recommendthem.

I came after my Chev 2002 has a red engine light. And a dealer asked me for 150 dollars to make the diagnosis. I came there and the were very kind with me, helped to know what was the trouble. Because they work just with foreign cars, they sent me with a trusted mechanic. No charge. It is difficult to trust some mechanic, but this center is the best!

Really awesome guys! We take our car here for regular service — they even patched a tire without charging! Highly recommended

These guys are the best! Competitive price and quality work! Only shop I will take my car

Great staff !

If you dread bringing your car to the garage, bring it here. Honest, straightforward folks doing top quality work at a fair price. Cant recommend enough.

Super reliable, even when I have to reschedule for the 5th time in a row.

Ted is the man. Very thorough. Definitely will be back.

Ted is the best. He repaired my car twice and I could not have had a better experience. Everyone there are so nice and professional. I recommend this place to anyone needing repairs.

Nick is one of the rare mechanics who really knows how to care for older German cars (I have a 1988 Mercedes 190e). Great experiences so far. Professional attitude, and fair prices for the high quality work.

So professional, So kind & excellent at what they do!

If you want the best BMW/ Toyota repair work done in town at a fair rate - 1/2 a dealers rate, use Foreign Auto - I have been going to them for three cars lives and have never gone wrong and even got a ride to the subway one day when I was limping - the two owners are great guys and have become my friends through business - I cant say more than that.

We called about a small problem, and they said we could come in any time. We went over the next morning, and they fixed it in two minutes for free!

Great and honest service. Another mechanic told me I needed over $1k worth of work done to fix a problem with my oil stand gasket. Thes guys popped open my hood and showed me there wasnt a problem.

Definitely the best car service in this area. The crew are very helpful and very nice! Very professional. Recommend

These guys did good work on my Mazda- and are super honest.My check engine light was on over a holiday week and they fixed the issue despite the timing and got my car inspected--since it didnt have 50 miles of driving on it, the car got an R, but they told me I could come back a week later and the car would pass inspection. When I did, there was a misunderstanding at the inspectors, and the inspector planned to charge me an extra $35. Jimmy had guaranteed the work and covered the $35 tab even though he didnt have to--hes earned my business, and this review.

These guys are simply the best, no gimmicks and great service. They treat you like family.

Seems fairly priced and they work only German imports. May be bit pricey but they are knowledgeable. I always drop it off to Nick.

I personally have known this guys for over 10 years there service is the best .

Love the awesome guys here, I recommend them to my friends and have not been let down yet.

Fixed my car, and still fixed a month and 5000 miles later. Thanks very much.

Excellent experience at this place for a BMW.The owner is extremely honest and knowledgeable and it is a real pleasure deal with himBetter prices than the dealership for even better quality job.Ill go back there for sure !

Great shop for all your foreign auto needs

The owner is really kind and the prices are fair. They had my car done in a day. I’ll be going there again next time my Toyota 4Runner needs some servicing.

Good honest mechanics, brought my import there because I didnt have the time to work on it. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Good experience.

Honest, kind, respectful and fast! I have been going here for 4 years, and would never go anywhere else!

Honest and friendly service.

Very great people in here

Fixed a problem of my car in 2 minutes for free!

Extremely friendly and honest mechanics.

Best in mass for foreign cars

Fantastic and speedy service!

Honest mechanics.
