They know foreign cars and do good work. Have taken good care of my 89 BMW. Prices are reasonable. Always got my old car to pass smog.

8140 is a great place to have your car serviced the woman that works out front is very kind and understanding the mechanics are very used to when it comes to working on various cars they are moderately priced its got that old school filled to it so if you need your car done go to a14 Auto tell him Daniel James the abstract art essential no you will not get a discount and she probably wont even know who I am but who cares get your car fixed and get the heck out of there!

Awesome place to get your domestic or import car serviced. John and Kathy are simply awesome and we have been taking our cars there for over 10 years. Honest good old fashioned service. The mechanic s on call are great.

The owner and mechanics have been servicing all of my familys vehicles for at least the last decade. They are always fair, reliable, timely and professional. Ive never had to question any of the repairs done by then or the legitimacy of those repairs.

Ive been getting my cars serviced at A1 for about 20 years. Its like having a brother-in-law in the auto service business. In fact, its better. I actually have a brother-in-law in the car service business and I dont trust him as much as I trust Kathy and John. Responsive. Fair. Knowledgeable, Trustworthy. What else can you ask for in your mechanic?

Two days ago my iPhone 5 slipped under the driver seat in my Saab and there was no way to get to it without unscrewing the seat partially. When I stopped by there yesterday the mechanic took 10 minutes out of his busy schedule to do it right away and the owner did not even charge me since I have my cars serviced there regularly.Today my Subaru is there for service and the responsiveness and no upward sale mentality combined with their expertise for any car of any age for sure makes me a loyal customer.Andy

When the local dealer told me I needed 3 major repairs with a $4k price tag, I turned to A-1 for a second opinion. Not only did they save me $, but they were honest about the repairs that did not need to be done while also finding a new issue which actually did need attention. Agree with other reviewers that the staff is friendly. They did major maintenance on my Toyota and I will trust them to do all our car repairs going forward. No need to go anywhere else.

First time visit here was this week. Needed an alternator replaced for a Nissan SUV. The repair was completed quickly and about 25% less than the dealer wanted. I will be coming back here for future repairs.

Had to take a car in for the pre-purchase inspection. They were more than friendly and made it happen the day I called! John and Kathy were honest and helpful about the vehicle and repairs needed. Definitely will be returning to this shop and I recommend a visit to anyone reading thi.

Having my own repair shop for 40 years meeting John and Kathy was great. Hard working and honest he could be my brother of a different mother.

Ive brought my BMW, Volvo and my wifes Hyundai here and each time Kathy charges a little less than quoted and the cars are done a little sooner than expected. John, Kathy and tech are courteous and professional.

Review №23

The Toyota dealership did a multi-point inspection on my car a month before I took it to A-1 Foreign and the dealership did not notice that the transmission pan was leaking transmission fluid and rattling when the engine was running. The dealership also did not notice that the transmission fluid was dirty, which had not been changed in several years because the dealership had not recommended it after years of multi-point inspections. A-1 Foreign caught this problem and my car no longer rattles underneath and the engine sounds perfect.

Over 20 years Ive taken generations of cars to John and Cathys expert care. John vetted my first car, predicting everything that would go wrong with it. He was right, everything he said would fail did fail and he fixed it all. They really care about their customers.
