Ricardo is the man. My partner's car failed inspection at another location (they don't do inspections here) for front end play and all 4 brake pads. Came to Ricardo and the only issue was the back brakes (which we knew needed to be replaced). Ricardo and his team got those brakes replaced in a few hours and saved us from being scammed. He also wrote a note saying the front brakes were fine and that there was no front end play so I could get it re-inspected at the same place and they couldn't say those things were still an issue. The people who did the inspection then passed the car without comment. I've been coming here for years and will continue to do so.

Bait and switch scammers. They give you a price over the phone, then they confirm the price after checking the car in person and then when it's time to pay, they come up with BS excuses to charge more for the work done: oversight in the quote, it took longer to do the work, I didn't know X, Y, Z....geez. You can save yourself a headache and find a reputable, honest provider elsewhere.

I recently had the pleasure of helping Foreign Auto set up their payment processing with AllProPay. Ricardo was great to work with. We were able to get him approved and live within a few days, and now they’re processing seamlessly with transparent pricing and next-day funding.

Brought my car in for a tire puncture. They saw me right away and were very helpful, professional, and pleasant to deal with. Highly recommended.

Ricardo is extremely friendly and helpful. He helped me with a service and was kind enough to squeeze me in at the end of the day. Would recommend taking your car here!

Jose and his team were great. I got into an accident on my way to NYC; my car was able to make it back just fine but it needed a lot of work. I brought it in just before the Christmas and NYE holidays but even then he gave me a quick turn around (I think it was ready before NYE but I was out of town at that point). I got the car back and you could hardly even tell I was in an accident. It drives great. I would definitely go back.

One of the best service auto repair I've ever experienced. My son is a college student in Boston and need emergency repair to his VW Jetta. Ricardo treated him with the utmost courtesy and gave him a very fair price to repair the broken suspension spring. He treated him so well, we had Ricardo install new brakes and rotors while the car was in for repairs. He priced all the repairs extremely fairly and didn't price gouge like other repair centers. He literally treated us like family. I literally can't say enough GREAT things about Ricardo and his auto repair service. PLEASE don't hesitate one bit bringing you car to Foreign Auto Clinic. We couldn't be happier and will be getting our car serviced there for now on. Two thumbs up and FIVE STAR SERVICE!

Ricardo and his team are amazing. I have a 2013 ML350 diesel, which I gave to my daughter 5 years ago. She recently return to MA after going to grad School in TX. The MB dealership failed her inspection. It needed a new oil pan, front axel work, and several other smaller items. The dealer's quote was more than the car was worth!!. Ricardo, did all the work, got the car inspected and did it at a substantial lower rate than the dealership quoted( the MB Dealer also charged me $250 just for the quote!!). I am very impressed with the quality of workmanship and ease of doing business with Ricardo. If you are looking for great work at a fair price for you Benz, Foreign Auto Clinic is the place to go!! Thank you Ricardo.

Over a period of almost a year, I was having an issue with my Audi. I went through 4 mechanics, and nobody seemed to know what was going on with my car until I came to Ricardo and his team. He figured it out in a day and gave me a great deal on the whole deal. Foreign Auto Clinic is the right name, and Ricardo is the car doctor! Thank you all for fixing my car.

A+ with extra credit mechanic. By far the friendliest, most informative, and most professional car shop around. Ricardo and his team are a shining example to all other garages

Jose is truly a gem. So kind, professional and quick! I've had great experiences here except for last time, I dealt with Ricky who completed the job very fast and effectively but was also pretty rude to me for not knowing what was wrong with my car (which is why I brought it to the mechanic).

I am only going to bring my car here from now on. Ricardo was so helpful and really took the time to try and figure out the issue with my car. Even though in the end he didn't have the right equipment/resources to resolve it, he helped me think through the next steps and was kind every step of the way. Since he couldn't fix it, he even only charged me for the part cost. Super honest and caring auto repair shop.

I went to Jose at Foreign Auto Clinic for more than three years for everything from an oil change to a broken motor mount. He is super friendly and pays attention to what's actually going on with your car, rather than patching one problem and ignoring something else. Jose is clear about the work he is doing, provides prompt service, and his prices are very fair. We recently moved away from the area and are genuinely sad that we can no longer get our car serviced at Foreign Auto Clinic. Thanks for everything, Jose!!!

Ricardo is amazing! I came in with an ac problem with my BMW and he fixed it quickly and was easy to get ahold of. Honest and understanding mechanic which is hard to come by in Boston.

I don’t usually leave reviews but I felt compelled because how appreciative I am of the service here. They got my car in immediately when my brakes failed when everywhere else I called was booking out over a week. I had it back less than a day later good as new at an exceptional price, will definitely be back here for any future needs.

Ran into a bit of a pickle when my car battery died on my Volkswagen. I had NAPA telling me I needed the OEM battery from Volkswagen in order for Volkswagen to be able to “reset” my battery indicator. These OEM batteries are about double the price so I’m very happy I called Foreign Auto Clinic. Ricardo was able to quickly confirm that this was not true and that I could use any battery (with the correct ratings) to replace my dead one. I was able to go back to an NAPA, get a new non-OEM battery, and now I’m back on the road. Thank you Roberto, these guys definitely saved me from getting ripped off by Volkswagen!

A+ review for Jose and Foreign Auto Clinic. My daughter living in Boston, a great distance from Dad in Chicago had need for what we deduced was a wheel bearing replacement. She took her car to another shop that will remain nameless (rhymes with wirestone) to have the work done. Getting it back something was obviously wrong, and she took it back and was told that an ABS wire was broken as, they said, sometimes happens with this job and that they couldn't get the part right away. My daughter didn't like the treatment she was getting there and got extremely frustrated. I searched for another shop in her area and came across Foreign Auto Clinic. Jose examined the car and found that the ABS wire was not broken, and the new bearing had been installed upside down (didn't even know that was possible). The issue was corrected, and she was on her way and now running great. Price was fair, service was respectful and extremely knowledgeable. Jose now has a permanent customer.

Amazing place. Called to make an appointment for my brakes and they fit me in first thing the next morning. Very friendly. Decent price. The thing I appreciated the most was their communication. They called me to let me know every update about what they would do to fix the car and how long it would take. Definitely will go there again in the future.

Jose and the crew at Foreign Auto Clinic are phenomenal. I bought a car from Jose over the summer and had a fantastic experience. He was extremely helpful, kind, and honest throughout the entire process. Jose continues to go above and beyond for maintenance and any/all questions that I have. If you're looking for a great used car or mechanic services, this is the place to go!

I've brought my Volvo here twice and have been very happy with the results. José and the rest of the team are kind, professional, and do great work. I highly recommend them! I bring my car to them even though I live far away and have an auto shop within walking distance of my home.
