I was skeptical, now I'm a fan. I am always skeptical of online reviews, but this shop deserves the high marks. Knowledgeable, fair pricing, quick turnaround. They replaced the front and rear struts on my 2013 Acura RDX.. Not rocket science, but not easy either. Rides like new with top-quality parts. I would recommend these guys without hesitation.

On the hottest day of the summer in Denver my AC went out after 295,500 miles on my Honda. I cannot complain as this was the first major component to go down on my car. Many places could not get me in right away but Foreign Auto Specialists got me in first thing the next morning and one day later, I had a completely new AC system. Steve was awesome to explain the failed compressor and what they needed to do. Now I have a very cold AC system and the mechanics did a great job getting it done, even with OEM parts and much less than the dealer by hundreds! Thank you guys, I'll be back should anything else go down. UPDATE: Yet another excellent service visit in December for an emissions issue. The staff was very thorough and honest about their concerns. This is THE place to go in this area for auto repair and diagnostics!

The best Auto shop I've ever been to. Fair, fast work (same day or appointments). Thorough professional inspections. They've made me feel like my truck is safe, road-worthy, and maintained w care by the staff. Also great **Smart start** interlock install and maintenance. Thanks FAST. They also offer synthetic oil changes.

I've brought three of my cars (Honda, BMW, and Toyota) to Foreign Auto Specialists, all within the last month. Their service and knowledge was outstanding. Prices are very competitive and reasonable. Better prices and service than the big chain shops! Very happy with they work they've done!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Stephanie in the front office is fantastic. They weren't able to fully diagnosis the weird vibrating issue my Mazda CX-9 experiences intermittently when shifting in and out of a specific gear, but at least I now know it's not a mechanical issue I need to address immediately, or throw lots of money at a problem that might not easily go away. The car mechanic simply recommended I continue driving it until the problem becomes more pronounced and identifiable. They didn't charge me for their diagnostics which took several hours, or try to charge me for additional services and unneeded repairs. Very honest and trustworthy company, and highly recommended. I'll definitely be taking my vehicles there for future repairs.

Answered the phone like it was a bother to do. Would not honor a Groupon I already purchased. They blamed Groupon for "wording it wrong" and said they "contacted Groupon yesterday to fix the "wording"" despite it being clearly stated not just in a title that could reasonably be a mistake. But stated multiple times throughout the description that it was a frion recharge AND oil change. When I asked if I could simply use the Groupon for JUST the oil change, then, he tiredly sighed and said he didn't want to have to pay Groupon, and to just get it refunded. What great customer service! I simply called the number the Groupon said to call to make an appointment, and was treated like a nuisance.

i owe mostly reliable Isuzu Trooper 1998, and recently it started spitting oil on the driveway, the guys found the cause and eventually affordably fixed it, it took though three visits 1.5 hour long for each. I took one star off from the evaluation because they did not offer me an option to replace a leaking tranny pan for one hundred more saving my valuable time . Also, they almost dislocated their shoulders trying doing alignment with old rusty levers for the price 10 (!) lower other shops were asking. GOOD JOB, FAIR PRICE! See you next time!

I have a2014 BMW X6 that had an intermittent engine light. Instead of making me schedule an appointment, charging me a diagnostic fee, etc, They told me to wait for the light to come on and bring it in and to not turn off the engine and they would check it on the spot. The light came on again, and I took it there and they immediately ran their diagnostic to get the error codes. Within a few minutes they had run the codes and diagnosed what I needed and scheduled me in within 48 hours. I took it in at the appointed time and they finished when they told me they would. Those are the results. How you get results is also important to me and I have to say, for a customer service perspective, this is one of the best auto repair experiences I've had. They are super friendly and transparent. Parenthetically, the friendly environment is helped a lot by two very amiable dogs, which kind of tells you about their culture there! They are good people to do business with! I took it there because my girlfriend has been taking her car there for years and swears by them. So this wasn't a one off great experience.

The mechanic I talked to on the phone was rude and very unprofessional. He had an attitude through the whole call and was very obviously trying to sell me parts and services I don’t need. I asked to make an appoint for a quote at 3pm, he then asked if I wanted it diagnosed that day. I told him yes if it was possible, his response was “I probably could but I’m not gonna be very happy about it.” Who says that to a potential customer?? After dealing with this man’s attitude I have no intention of ever bringing my car to this shop. Be cautious when dealing with this shop, they seem very sketchy. UPDATE: Steve, the owner, contacted me after leaving my first review and went out of his way to make things right. I appreciate his help and feel much better about this place after our interaction.

Excellent experience working with the very talented team at Foreign Automotive. I took my BMW M2 Competition there for specialty camber plates, replacement front end control arms, a specific alignment, oil and brake fluid change. They did a fabulous job ! The car drives so much better now. Rob, was excellent to work with, stuck to the quoted value of the work to the penny (it took longer than the quote to do), and took the time to explain the work, show me the impressive shop and introduce me to the tech who did the work. The tech was an ex-BMW tech. I couldn't be happier with my experience and I am recommending the shop to everyone ! Thanks Rob and team for putting the trust back into auto repairs !

Steve & his crew of top-rate mechanics have done several R&M jobs on my 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS over the last couple of years. They have been efficient, communicated clearly, and did the jobs right, the first time. Less costly than the dealership and equally capable. They went "the extra mile" to help me, are honest, and pleasant to interact with. Many thanks, Marc, Westminster, CO

Honest, reliable, and actually fair. They don’t try to upsell or make up fake issues, just straight-up good work at a fair price. Highly recommend.

Dude was dealing with a lot of things. Clearly overwhelmed and having some crazy customer interactions. I was an hour late to my appointment due to a doctors appointment running long and being forced to take a detour due to not knowing about some construction. Total lack of planning on my part and they still accommodated me. Thank you so much. 💙

These guys are the BEST! The absolute best. A special shout out to Aaron and Cameron for taking care of me over the years. Whether it’s a quick oil change or something more involved, the folks over at Foreign Automotive will get you set! If you’re looking for a more “maw and paw” shop (who isn’t) with knowledgeable, friendly locals, you really don’t need to look any further. 10/10 for all their automotive services, and 11/10 for the folks who work there!

Had this place service my smart start interlock device. The older gent at the counter is typically informative and helpful, the younger guy is pretty rude. I went in for a download and was eligible to get it removed, with no notice they were almost insistent I get it done right there, unfortunately I had to get to work. A couple of weeks later I went in with no appointment to get it removed, something the older guy had said I could do as soon as I got my license back. When I arrived, the younger guy without greeting or pretense merely said “we do that by appointment only”. I told him what I just wrote above, the older dude sat there and did not get involved. After stating my case logically they indeed were able to get me sorted out. All of this is not why I leave a 1 star, in fact although the customer service was not good, I probably wouldn’t leave a review over something like that, auto mechanics are unfortunately notorious for saying one thing then doing another. They deserve 1 star because they left my car a disaster when they removed the device. They didn’t bother to put the housing back on correctly, it’s just flapping around. I understand that because of my mistake (DUI) people might condescend or look down on my situation, it is what it is, however I like to think you can judge someone based on the way they treat those they don’t have much to gain from. If I had a repair to do I would not go there based on my treatment and the the sloppy execution of a super simple procedure. That young dude should learn some customer service, and honestly people are fired for less than whatever hack job the technician that removed my device did. This was the easy task or removing two cables, what are they doing when they run up against more complicated situations?

I went to get my 2017 Chevy Colorado AC re-charged, and I could not be more happier with the rate that they provided to me. In addition to the great rate, they had a coupon online for all new customers, so they were able to honor that as well. I called multiple locations to get quotes for recharging my AC system, and they by far were the best deal that I could find around the Denver, CO area. I highly recommend them if you are needing to get anything specalized such as recharging an AC unit, they were great and fast, they had me in and out of the door in just under 1 hour, very impressive and FAST! I highly recommend them, their rates are fantastic and will be hard to beat!
