This business was recommended to us by another local business that couldn't work on the make we have. It was a horrible experience. They had the car for weeks. We had to keep calling them. The mechanic assigned lied and tried to cover up. We drove the car there and had to have a flatbed pick it up and take it to Ann Arbor. The owner was rude and condescending. He said he had never seen a car as bad yet Suburban in Ann Arbor wants to buy it. All sorts of things were broken after foreign car services finished with it. The only saving grace at the end was the refund. They should have said they weren't skilled to fix it from the beginning and we would have totally respected them.

I took my Porsche to Claudio and crew because I needed several items evaluated as well as repaired. I enjoy learning more about my car, and thankfully Claudio is willing to answer all my questions. He took the time to help me understand exactly what the problem might be, as well as correct action to repair. I highly recommend Foreign Car Services for any repairs, as they are the most honest, professional and timely staff I've worked with. Will be visiting again.

Paid for a transmission fluid flush and a diagnosis for a misfire, they told me they flushed the trans fluid and it was full of metal and my trans was blown. Also told me my ecu grounded out from a broken wire and my ecu and wiring harness needed to be replaced, as well as my trans and synchros. When I drained the trans fluid after I got the car back it was obvious it hadn’t been changed, no metal in it but very dirty. Repaired the broken wire on the harness and replaced the ecu and 2nd gear synchro “which was the only gear that was grinding” and it was good to go. Do not go here. They will lie and charge you for work they never did and try to take your money for anything they can. Wish I could give them 0 stars. If I had not checked over everything myself I would’ve given up on the car, ended up being a $500 fix when they quoted me more then what the car is worth.

they were good. I came in to have my halo light bulb replaced and have my cigarette lighter checked out on my BMW.They ended up saying that the light bulb was only slightly loose and that the cigarette lighter just needed a new fuse. The reason for the 4 stars is that at the end of it all, they charged me $80.00 to replace 2 fuses and reposition a light bulb. I feel like this was a little high, they said that's what they charge for labor by the hour. This is definitely cheaper than the dealer tho.

Had my car taken in for service for a starter, $1500. There was nothing wrong with the car prior to having the part replaced. Got a call saying that it needed a new valve cover and serp belt. And was quoted another $2000. I said sorry no and took the car back to deal with these problems myself. Turns out these weren’t the problems at all. Mysteriously, my oil line is now clogged. Overpriced. Untrustworthy. Not worth your time.

I want to give a huge shout-out to Sam at the shop! I've been taking my car here for the past couple years and he has provided nothing but the best, most comprehensive, and punctual service. Highly recommend this place!

This shop is run professionally and you can bet on honest, knowledgable, and above all far. Everyone needs a brake sometimes especially when automobile issues arise. Driving foreign cars that are Ultra Smooth sometimes catch you off guard and you end up in a bad way. This place when happens ends up being better than experience. I have used them in the past and now again presently, thank my lucky stars for Foreign Car Services. If you agree please comment.

I recently moved to the area and needed to find a dependable shop to help maintain my '99 BMW e46 / 3-Series. Luck would have it that a kind local (now a new friend) and I happened to strike up a convo about cars, during which he recommended that I check out Foreign Car Services -- and I am so glad I did! My first experience with FCS went above-and-beyond my expectations. Claudio and his team are extremely knowledgeable, honest, and respectful. Very happy customer here, and looking forward to working with these guys moving forward to keep the e46 kickin'!

Only place that felt comfortable working on my high end Audi, they do the job no questions asked for cheaper than any dealership will, sometimes in half of the cost

Went in to test their customer service with a simple oil change. I will continue to take my BMW there for future work. They were thorough and knowledgeable. As well as, showed awareness of other issues that may arise while they were under the hood. I do recommend.

The only place I'll take my cars. Their scope of services is huge, and they are far more knowledgeable than dealers or other places like Strictly in terms of mechanical repairs. Claudio's facility is top notch, and his staff are experts at getting to to root of your cars problems, and their turnaround times are impressive. To the previous reviewer with the Volvo who gave it one star: this isn't the place to rant about quoted services you never followed through on.

This place was recommended by one of my coworkers as the airflow went out in my car this past weekend. Called FCS Monday morning and they fit me in for appointment yesterday. Had my car fixed and back today!! Professional, honest, courteous, didn't try to upsell me anything, just all around so nice and just a wonderful experience! I will absolutely without a doubt go back to them for any future needs!

Foreign Car Service has provided me with great service on a couple of occasions. They are knowledgeable and competent in their work. Their prices are competitive, especially compared to a Porsche dealer. Their knowledge of Porsche is as good as the dealership staff and they take the time to explain the problems in detail and provide accurate advance quotes.
