Took my daughter’s Volvo in with some major grinding from her rear wheel area. These guys quickly found the issues and gave an honest quote, and once I said yes they did the work quickly enough that my daughter was able to safely drive back to Arkansas Highly recommend!
Lackadaisical at their approach to providing service. The guy in charge is not very personable, boarding on rude. From his approach to addressing my issue, I don't have the level of confidence in them to continue on. I'll go elsewhere.
For approximately 12 yrs, I have had my BMW 'S service at "Foreign Clinic" Not only service is outstanding, and knowledgeable! **A Friendly reminder, do your homework before having your cars service!
Great customer service,mechanics prices are reasonable.
Tim,Bruce, and their mechanics are superb!
Foreign Clinic, you're one of kind! Thank you
Dec 12, 25 Another great service and flush on brake flush. Felling Greatful! Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Classic knowledgeable mechanic shop - We take our Mercedes there for any work needed and get good honest feedback. Fair prices for foreign work and would definitely recommend. Likely won’t get same day service but that’s to be expected for quality work :)
Watch out for this place. They "repair" something and then they text you for an update, but when you tell them something is still wrong, they don't respond and never text or call back. I do not think this is a good look on the business. If you aren't going to respond then why bother texting in the first place!
I’ve used this business several times in the past and found their pricing fair and service generally honest. However, recent experiences have been disappointing. While the owner was never particularly personable, the current staff lacks coordination and professionalism. Communication is poor—it’s difficult to get a call back—and the environment feels chaotic.
This place is a complete disappointment. For the outrageous prices they charge, you'd expect a clean, professional environment—not a run-down mess. Don’t expect to wait for your car either—you’ll be better off calling an Uber. The staff’s attitude is unprofessional, the service is slow, and the entire experience is a rip-off. I wouldn’t recommend this place to an enemy.
I was quoted $1,400 for an A/C compressor just a few months ago, but that suddenly jumped to $2,200 with no valid explanation. After checking the part price myself, I found no significant increase to justify the change. I understand that things evolve, but at $140 per hour, I expect transparency and efficiency—not inflated book times or inconsistent pricing. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.
Went to another shop they said its my alternator not even my compressor. These people dont check nothing they just want to charge you the most price.
Place has changed different atitude even though the atitude was never good. Brother had brakes down a couple of months ago already are coming apart.
Not recommended. They charged me almost twice from what they quoted. As I found out afterwards, every bold and nut was loose, none of that had to to do with the replacement of the power steering pressure hose. The guy had the wheels and disk brakes layng out also. None of that is needed. On the books it calls for 1.5 hours, they had it for 2 days. Ironically, the power sterring fluid is still leaking.
My Honda Accord was due for a new timing belt. I talked to Tim and he scheduled me in quickly. He recommended changing the water pump at the same time and I agreed. Some wear was found on the serpentine belt so that was changed also. Outstanding work at a very fair price with no upselling. I'm extremely happy and grateful to find expert service at a fair price!
Great experience. Tim was caring and did a great job fixing my car. I plan to call for another appointment to fix a maintenance issue. My plan is to have Foreign car Clinic be my dependable and trusting car place. Thank you.
The owner was booked but let me squeeze in and checked my engine light without charge, since I had an emergency. If I lived in this city I would go here regularly. Thank you for your kindness!
Great experience all around. Price was spot on and cleaned up the engine or all the oil that leaked and was done in a short amount of time. I will be have them do any work I can't do myself anytime with the upmost confidence a great job is being done for me. Feels good to know there are quality mechanics out there that are doing honest and great work for the community.
My VW Jetta needed a brand new AC system. These guys did the job within 24 hours. My cars AC is running amazing. I had it repaired at a place in Rockledge off of Huntington a year and half ago and they didn’t diagnose it fully and was pricey for the repair just to not have AC blowing cold. These guys at The Foreign Car Clinic are thorough, cost efficient and timely. Thank you, 10/10 would recommend.
I brought my 2011 BMW 3 series in to get rear shocks replaced. Not only does this shop do great work, and really know the European cars, It also happened to be the cheapest quote around by far. I ended up getting the shocks replaced an oil change; tire rotation; and brand new BMW battery replacement for the same price I was quote elsewhere for just the shocks.
Incredible work, quick, and great price!
Tim & Bruce are very knowledgeable and honest guys! 10 out of 10!
The battery died at noon and called to make an appointment on the next morning. I was afraid that I had to jump it early in the morning, so I drove it to the store. As I needed a ride back and another to pick it up, Tim started working on it immediately after he got one car done.
It was so hot and soem on schedule, but within minutes, he just replaced the battery and got my vehicle running smooth. The second time, having Tim work on it, the first time was back to September 2021. Both were excellent work. Highly recommend.
I have taken my 2005 Mercedes CLK320 to Foreign Car Clinic twice and both times have been excellent experiences. The first was for scheduled maintenance and the job was done at a fair price My second visit was for a breakdown. My CLK stopped running while I was at a light. I was near the Tuffy in viera so I took it there. They gave me an estimate of $1600 to replace both crank sensors, the valve cover gaskets and 12 spark plugs. Given that it was so much I called Foreign Car Clinic to see how much they would charge for this work. First off they told me that my car only has 1 crank sensor. At that point I had it towed to Foreign Car Clinic. When they looked at it they said my valve cover gaskets and spark plugs were fine and didn’t need replacement. The final bill for the crank sensor replacement was $250. My CLK has been running fine for 6 weeks now. These guys are good at what the do AND honest. I highly recommend Foreign Car Clinic for your Mercedes needs.
Tim and his crew have always been great. Down to earth, honest and upfront. Never tries to do anything more than to help. It is hard to find a business like this anymore. Would totally recommend him to anyone looking for repairs!
My front caliper was sticking and was to leave for home on Sunday. They got me in on a Friday afternoon last minute call which is super hard for any shop. They fixed car and had safe drive back home. This is a real deal shop that actually cares and fixes vehicle properly the first time. A+ customer service and that is hard to find. Thank You!!
They fixed the air flow sensor on my '03 Xterra and she's running just fine now! This guy sounded knowledgeable and had the job done within a day. This is definitely where we'll go for any other car troubles.
After recently moving to the area, I am thrilled to have found a repair shop with staff that is knowledgeable, professional, and honest. I have had a Nissan and BMW serviced by them after a cross-country move. Their services are always completed in a timely manner, their pricing is fair and honest, and they always thoroughly explain the services being done. Big shoutout to Tim! He always makes sure the cars and customers are well taken care of!
I took my Audi elsewhere for an oil change and the tires rotated. The mechanic said i needed nearly 3k worth of work. Took it straight to FCC - the 3k fix was not a problem. FCC saved me money and gave me piece of mind. This week when it started acting up, I parked it, towed it to FCC and was thrilled to have it back first thing the next morning for under 200. Love this guy!
I took my daughter’s Jetta here expecting to spend a good bit of money due to a transmission fluid leak. The owner initially gave me an estimate for over $500 but called me later that day to tell me the repair wasn’t what he initially thought. How often do you hear that? Well, Tim fixed the problem and including an oil change, the bill was 25% less than the original estimate and the Jetta is now running like a top.
On a drive back from out of town, my VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) and engine light on my 2013 Honda Fit came on. After checking my manual that I could drive as long of the engine light wasn't blinking, I drove the rest of the 60 miles home. This happened on the weekend, so on Monday morning, I called and spoke with Bruce (owner) at Foreign Car Clinic. I didn't want to drive the car until this light issue was resolved, and Bruce said to bring it right in.
I dropped it off, and he called with the price to fix the issue (replaced engine coil). The price was very fair and likely way less than the dealer. Bruce picked me up at my home later that afternoon, so I didn't have to find a ride to the shop. My car was also washed...bonus.
Two weeks later, my car is running fine. I highly recommend Foreign Car Clinic.
THESE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING! I have a VW Tiguan and I went to the deanship and was told that I needed $2700 worth of repairs to my car. They said I my co2 sensors needed to be cleaned and a filter needed to be replaced and then they told me my oil tank had a slight leak and a huge part needed to be replaced. All adding up to $2700 worth of repairs that I could NOT afford. I immediately left the dealership (who charged me $125 bucks just to read my sensors) and went to the Foreign Car Clinic.
Foreign Car Clinic read my sensors for FREE and lifted my car up to look and check the "issues" that the dealership said I had. They then concluded that the VW dealer in Melbourne was trying to scam me for $2700. They said my car was perfectly fine and that around 80,000 miles that the co2 sensors gets clogged, but you can clean it our with fuel injector cleaner. They did say that my mpg won't be as good as when it was new, but there was NOT a need to replace this $850 part and they would never recommend replacing it because its not worth the money. They then looked at my "oil leak" and said that there was a drop on the oil pan in my car and it was because it was colder and the seal had contracted. They said I did not need to replace any of the parts that the VW dealership had told me. Do not go to the VW dealership, they are scam artist and crooks.
Foreign Car Clinic was so nice and friendly and I would recommend them to anyone. Seriously people, go to these guys they are so wonderful and an absolute pleasure to work with!
We are a 4 Honda family with 3 accord coupes and a pilot. we have been taking our cars to them for several years and the work is always done very professionally and at a reasonable price especially compared to the dealer! We highly recommend the Foreign Car Clinic.
A big thank you to Bruce who inspected a car i was thinking of buying. He picked up the car and took it back to his shop for a closer look in addition to a test drive. I ended up passing on the car based on his valuable feedback. I live out of state and needless to say, having a set of trained eyes checkout the vehicle for me was priceless. He provided a detailed list of items that would need to be fixed and a quote. very meticulous. His price was very reasonable. I am very grateful Will call upon you again if needed. Highly recommended. Thank you.
If you have a foreign vehicle they are hands down the best shop I've ever worked with. They take the time out to explain what's wrong with your vehicle in layman's terms and you don't leave feeling like you were over charged. Very reasonable prices. I've been going to them for the last 4 years for our Audi & Jaguar.
