I cant recommend them high enough. I was given excellent service and a fair price for the work done. Everyone there treated me like I was a valued customer.

If you want a mechanic that is going to tell you nothing but the truth go to Jim Foreign car Specialist. A mechanic that will fix your car and guarantee it. Jim has gone beyond the call of duty. He put a new engine in my Venza and realized my wiper is bad he replace with a new one with no extra charge. Jim is a wonderful man. I wish him more success.

Jim is an honest and trustworthy mechanic, which can be difficult to find these days. He found the issue, no one else could find in my BMW 325xi. He did have my car for 4 months but he fixed everything that needed to be fixed, even returning it to me with a new inspection sticker! Hes not the cheapest, as it cost $2000 to compete the repairs, but do you really want the cheapest?Also keep in mind its a BMW. Hes honest and performs the necessary work, without trying to fix things that dont need to be fixed, as others will attempt to do. Hes fair, honest, and competitively priced. Keep in mind he fixed the issue literally NO ONE ELSE Z could figure out! For that alone hell continue to be my mechanic for future repairs

I had an amazing experience at foreign car specialties! Jim is very nice and professional - as someone who doesn’t know much about cars, I really appreciated how everything was explained to me and felt very comfortable with the work I got done. Couldn’t be happier!

Jim is such an awesome guy! He so nice and explains everything so well! If there’s not a problem he will tell you the truth! And if there is, the price is affordable! He definitely got my business!

Brought my car in after some faulty repairs at another shop. They refused to work on it because they immediately diagnosed the faulty work on my breaks, and recommended I go back to the other shop for compensation. I saved hundreds of dollars that easily could have gone to them if they they werent the most honest and straight forward shop around. Any mechanic or shop owner that is more concerned with saving you money then making it is clearly one you can trust. This isnt the first time they have saved me and it wont be the last!

I knew nothing about car. Unfortunately, my first car was in very bad condition when I bought it (which I didnt know of course). My friend brought me to this shop. Fortunately, Jim, the owner of the shop was very honest and dependable. He fixed my car with the very reasonable price and he is the one that I can trust. Ive been coming back to have my car taken care of for more than a year now. Im very happy with the service. I highly recommended Foreign Car Specialties.

My car, an old Ford Taurus had been squealing for weeks and so I had asked my auto parts salesman advice on where to go to check it out. He said he’d only trust this establishment with his vehicle and said they always treated their customers right. He was very correct in his statement for the owner himself (James) worked with me from start to finish to make sure I got my problem (which ended up being minor) fixed in short and effective order. He personally stayed an extra couple of hours to ensure my vehicle was taken care of and completed and that says a lot about him and the kind of business he runs. Full recommendations to go here for your auto needs, if anything happens again I will absolutely go right back to these fine people for I know they will do their best to make sure I and anyone else leaves happy.

Great Place! Great Service! On December 30 my sons car flunked its annual inspection because it needed tie rods. He had to leave to go back to college on the 2nd of January and we were frantic to find someplace that could fix the car on the 31st. We called several places, including two we use regularly, and none could help due to the holiday. We started asking friends for recommendations and finally found two shops that would help. Jim was slammed with work as his shop was opened only 1/2 day on the 31st but he squeezed us in anyway!. He even discounted some of the parts! He gave me two quotes depending on what he found once he looked at the car and we ended up paying the lower of the prices as some of the parts quoted in the higher price were not needed. He spent a long time on the phone with me, explaining the parts, the warranties, etc. We couldnt have been happier with the work! Not only was his price better than the one other shop that would do a rush for us, but he used name brand parts with better warranties. He was honest, patient with my lack of knowledge, and generally, we couldnt have found a better mechanic or shop! Great place, really helpful staff.

Jim, the owner of Foreign Car Specialties, is outstanding... He is always completely honest with his customers. Jim has worked on all of my vehicles, both foreign and domestic, & I can confidently say he is affordable, fair, and honest. I recommend Foreign Car Specialties to anyone looking for a trustworthy shop. I have sent many people down to Foreign Car with high expectations, and they have been loyal customers ever since. Jim runs a very good business. Great prices, great work & terrific employees.

My father recommended me to Foreign Car Specialties and I have never looked back. Jim and his team work well, fast, and with honesty. Prices are very good for high quality service. I have brought both my cars there for several repairs and enjoyed the experience. The business has that local family vibe which makes it all the more pleasant.I now have several family members getting their cars serviced with Jim and they are all happy with the recommendation. I will continue to recommend these guys. They really are a quality team.

Jim and his team has been servicing my familys vehicles for the past six years. Jim is a no nonsense guy who runs an efficient business. He is a great trouble-shooter and he will always go the extra mile in explaining the things that need to be done. I believe that he provides a great service with a fair price for the local neighborhood and surrounding area. - M. Howard

This is my new auto repair shop. BMW Shrewbury estimated $7,400 to fix my problem. The folks at Foreign Car Specialist fixed it for $300. It now drives like NEW! Trust these folks to treat you honestly and provide great service.

I have been bringing my cars to Jim for years. He is very knowledgable about all car problems. He explains the problem and offers options before fixing it. He is dependable and honest. His prices are very reasonable. I have recommended him to anyone looking for a fair and reliable mechanic. My family members also bring their cars to Jim. I live on the other side of the city, but willingly make the drive because of the quality of service that he offers. I highly recommend Foreign Car Specialties.

Throughout college, my roommate and I always went to Jim for our car trouble, and check ups. Every experience there was positive. He is honest, and is able to communicate what is going on with the car in terms that we understood. If you are looking for a mechanic you can trust, who will listen to you, and knows what he is doing, than this is the place for you.

I brought my fiances Lexus in for an oil change and Jim found metal shavings in the old oil. He suggested I come back again in a week only to find more metal. Despite the car being long out of warranty, Jim, with his vast knowledge of foreign cars was able to convince the dealership the problem was a Lexus one. She got at new engine no charge! Well done Foreign Auto!! BTW, I trust my Mercedes S class to them also.

Ive brought 2 of my vehicles here for some service for the first time. And let me tell you, they will from now on, be my go to mechanic! When you enter an mechanic shop, you can already feel an good vibe or bad, sneaky mechanics who will try and bypass anything and milk all your money, or mechanics whoHas a passion and love what they do! And so far I can tell you from my personal experience. They are top notch when it comes to getting the job done, properly and never sneak behind your backbone just to make a couple extra dollars. Good people, good service. They will go out of their way to help and work around your budget! A++

We happened to end up here when my husbands car broke down at the gas station across the street. The shop employees pushed the car to their garage and fixed it when AAA couldnt figure out the problem, and were going to tow it. Problem was easily solved by mechanic. I brought it back again for a seperate issue, and he did a great job at a great price! Will be back!

Brought my car in with a bad sticker and a bunch of questions. He very kindly explained everything to me with out making me feel like an idiot. He is looking at my car to see whats up for free...for free! Who does that? This guy does. So far I am very impressed. I think I just found my new mechanic!

Jim is amazing. He knows his cars. I was going to a different place and found Jim amd wont be going anywhere else. He has serviced all 4 of my cars. If jim gives you a quote on a car repair and it takes longer or is more complicated than expected he will honor his quote he gave you. I totally recommend Foreign car specialities

This is the WORST place anyone can go to get their breaks or any part of their car fixed. I have taken my car to this mechanic several times and they ALWAYS tell me they fixed up the breaks but they clearly did nothing as my car was still not working properly. They took money from me every time but did absolutely did NOTHING. I decided to go to a different auto shop and they clearly pointed out all the problems my car had and the new mechanic also showed me that the breaks havent been changed in several years and they forgot to screw on several nuts on the front axle. Turns out that FOREIGN AUTO SPECIALTIES took several hundreds of dollars from me but did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to my car. Whatever you do, please avoid going to this auto shop to get anything done to your car. They take your money but do nothing in return, this place is simply a SCAM.
