The engine in my wifes BMW went out. After receiving a ridiculous price from the dealer, I put a motor request out online and received a good motor from Car Part Express out of Texas. They shipped the engine and was installed at a reasonable price. The car has been back now for two weeks with zero problems. I have a happy wife and a happy bank account. I am a huge fan of Car Part Express and Foreign Car Workshop!

Our cars engine died within 5 minutes of getting the oil changed at a nearby quick lube chain shop. I called Foreign Car Workshop, and Ryan immediately walked down the street, diagnosed the problem (oil on the engine air intake sensor), fixed the issue, and wouldnt accept any payment. He just said bring your car to us for your next service. Ive used Foreign Car Workshop for general maintenance in the past (oil change, new spark plugs..etc), and will definitely use them going forward. Excellent and honest service. 5 stars.

Like other reviews stated, Ryan is super honest and will not rip you off unlike other unnamed chains nearby. Take your car here if you want the work done right with quality parts at a fair price. Super thankful his shop is in West Seattle where I live, because even if I lived in another Seattle neighborhood, Id still make the journey to bring my 20 year old 4Runner here. Easy 5/5 stars.

Excellent service at a fair price. I think Ryan runs a really honest business. He has worked on our cars for several years now with no complaints from me!

We’ve been bringing our Prius here for the last few years and are glad we found this place. FCW has consistently provided great service. Danica in the front office is also super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

Ryan and his team are a rare combination of skill, honesty and ease to do business with. Ive been going to FCW for over 40 years and this is West Seattles gold standard for auto maintenance and repair. If they cant fix it, they will steer you in the right direction.

One of the best, reliable and honest family foreign car auto shops around. No wonder theres a week lead time to get in. Trust them...my family has been going there w Hondas for 30+ years.

Amazing experience with Foreign Car. Our 2010 Cooper came up with misfires and a flashing check engine light. After trying to diagnose the issue ourselves we determined it was time to get it in to the shop. Foreign Car was booked up for the next couple weeks but let us know to check back and see if they had room to drop it off and would try to work on it between appointments since it is our only vehicle - we live in Alki so are pretty car-dependant. We were able to drop it off early and the very next day they called to let us know they had determined the fix and the car would be ready by the end of the day for a very reasonable price! I will be going back for any other issues in the future. These guys are great and Ryan was very helpful in helping diagnose what the probable causes were on the phone. Love these guys. THANKING YOU!

When it comes to car repair.. I am beyond lost. I got screwed over so many times bringing my car to the dealer ships. they overcharge for everything and give me the run around. I finally found a professional place here that I trust and are very professional, and on time. I will recommend this place to everyone! My car is running like brand new again.

The Foreign Car Workshop has always taken such great care of my car - they are trustworthy - and honest. I greatly appreciate that they approach all service inquiries from a what needs to be done and what can wait perspective. They take the time to explain issues and the potential resolution. They are friendly and knowledgeable - and it is awesome that they seem to be the same crew from one year to the next - job satisfaction, perhaps? I didnt realize this was a family owned business until reading reviews - and it shows. I would highly recommend Ryan and the team for your car repair/service needs.

Review №22

This isn’t a good place to go. I recently took my Mercedes-Benz sl500 there and the parts that they need to fix the car they lie and say “ you can only get the parts from a Mercedes-Benz dealership and should take it to the dealership “ but every part they told me I am able to buy it on eBay and another problem is they will not use any parts you bring to them. I really went there because I thought they were able to fix my car but in reality all they can do is diagnostic, oil change, and change filters.

I recently went to foreign car workshop to get my Toyota Tacoma serviced. Seemed simple enough and it was quite so. Staff is friendly and inviting. There is something to be said about the feel of a local family owned business. They treat you like family right? Price was in line with the market so absolutely fair- I like supporting local businesses and If your looking for honest advice and get treated like family, they are at the top of my list.

Ryan and his team truly do outstanding work. They know their trade well, are reliable and responsible, and charge a fair price. Most of of all, they are trustworthy. Being able to trust your mechanic may be one of the greatest joys in life. Try them out ... you will be so happy that you may weep.

I wrote a long review on Yelp so Ill keep this one simple. I trust these guys. Like the other reviews say, you can tell that its family owned. But more than that, I felt at ease. I was using Jiffy Lube before coming here -- called them to get an estimate for B1 service for my car. They told me it would start around $450. Called Foreign Car Workshop and received a $154 quote. Better pricing, better feeling. I highly recommend Ryan and his team.

Took my car to a auto shop for a over heating problem $500 dollars later and still didnt fix the problem they told me it would another $750 to fix what they thought was the problem. Finnaly I took my car to the foreign auto car and they fixed my car for less than what cost to not have it fixed. These guys restored my faith in having a good mechanic, they even told me about thing that were wrong, that I had know idea about. They dont just take your money and rush you out of the shop, but they explain things about your car to you. I live in Tacoma, but I will never have a problem taking my car here cause I know I will be well taken care of.

Hands down I would recommend Foreign Car Workshop. Ryan, Danika, and crew are professional, answer your questions, and let you know if you have to do work on your car, or it can be done another later time. I have never been disappointed. Would recommend them to everyone I know.

These guys are just awesome! I had an electrical issue a while back that I couldnt quite get a grasp of. I went to Ryan and told him I was tired of fooling with it ....just shot gun the electrical ....new alternator..new regulator ect...I gave him permission to do several hundred dollars worth of repairs on what I had convinced myself was some sort of intermittent short in the electrical system. He discovered that the trunk light was not turning off because the latch was worn...so he unscrewed and remove the bulb......when I asked him what I owed him..... he told me not to worry about it...no charge!

Foreign Car Workshop services my Acura, GMC, Toyota and Chevrolet. If they would work on my motorcycle Id let them do that too. Ryan cares about cars and customer service. Danica is always professional and courteous. The shop has been there 40 years for a reason, and I think its the way the family takes care of business. Glad there is such a resource in West Seattle.

Though they were not too experienced in rebuilding or overhauls, Ryan was willing to listen and share all the information he had on my particular concerns and was willing to volunteer contingencies. I would recommend them for services and maintenance.
