Foreign Auto Experts Co in
Elkridge (MD)

No horse hockey, no snooping around looking to conjure up unnecessary repairs, just dudes using good parts, charging totally fair prices. Fast service also.

Straightforward, honest, and fast service! The prices are also great. I definitely feel like I can trust my car to them!

Thanks to Dustin and Foreign Auto Experts for continuing the excellent service, honesty, and care for my car and treating me as a friend, not a customer. Have been going there and recommending this company for many years and so happy to be telling all that this is the best garage to go to for Japanese cars.

Let’s just say I paid extra for the Toyota maintenance package when I bought my car, and I will take my car here indefinitely when needed. Honest people that you can trust and they’re efficient. RARE. They are fair priced too, but with their quality, I’d pay anything. Thank you!!!

Been going to these guys since 2020 and I’ll keep going as long as I’m in the area. They helped me get my old beater to 250k miles (and it was still running fine when I sold that off). They have the utmost integrity and do great work!

All I can say is A+++ service!!!! Dustin is a stand-up guy, honest and trustworthy. If you have any car trouble please ask for him cause he will get you right and be really fair!! Thank Dustin I appreciate you 💯🙏🏾

I’ve been going to FAE for over 30 years. You won’t find an auto repair shop any more competent or expert than this one. They have built their business on long-time honesty and fair pricing. They will tell you if something doesn’t need to be done, but if they say it does, believe them!

After almost of 20 years of stellar service, it was about time that I add my voice to the chorus of happy customers! These guys are painfully honest and simply the best! If you need it done right, see Steve or Dusty...your ride will be in good hands.

Me and my family have been coming to foreign auto for many many years of Honda's. This morning I brought them a vehicle for a muffler repair. They determined that the job wasn't for them, and recommended a local guy for the welding. For inspection and diagnosis alone I expected a fee but they charged me nothing. These guys are professionals doing right by their customers. I'll be back with more work as my stuff falls apart.

Been bringing cars here for over a decade and will never go anywhere else. They are amazing. Take great care of your cars and don't overcharge. I have absolute trust in Steve and Dustin!

It’s about time that I wrote a review for Steve, Dusty, & and all the others at FAE. My family and I have been bringing our cars to them for as long as I can remember, for good reason. They are friendly, honest, and always working to take care of their clients. They have always gone above and beyond to help me out. Highly recommend, very reasonable and great to work with.

I have been using Foreign Auto for years, the service is always excellent and the prices are fair and very reasonable. I recommend any young lady with a vehicle to take your car to them, they will let you know exactly what is going on with your car and will let you know how much it cost before any work is done! Brian, Steve and the team are awesom!! I'm a customer for life!!

These guys are honest and do great work. I took my car in first thing on a Monday because of a suspicious noise and they had me back on the road by the end of the day. The prices are very reasonable, too. I will tell everyone I know to go here.

First and foremost, shoutout to Dustin for taking care of me! The guys at Foreign Auto Experts are honest, make sure they take the time to educate you on the needs of your vehicle, and also render quality service. I went in there with an AC problem and during the diagnostic, Dustin found that the part that needed replacing was covered by Honda’s extended warranty. I had no idea! He could’ve just fixed my AC and charged me $$$ but instead he had me call Honda in order to have them replace the part at no cost to me. Those guys never make me feel suspicious or nervous when I bring my car in for whatever reason. I will continue to see them for my auto repairs and maintenance. Thank you guys!

We've been taking my cars here for almost 10 years and they've always taken great care of my wife's and my car. I used to live closer when I first heard about them but I still take my cars down about 40min from where I live to get them serviced. They've always been honest and provided great service throughout the years. Once Dustin took over a few years back, they've continued providing the same level of service. Not once did I feel like they took advantage of my lack of car knowledge.

They are the best. Really efficient and really honest. I have always been very satisfied with all the work they have done on my cars. I am very very impressed by their honest assessments and estimates on all the repairs they have done. I honestly believe I have saved thousands of dollars since I started going to them for all my car repairs.

This place is wonderful!! They are knowledgeable and very skilled in their craft! Dustin was great in making sure my car was safe to drive. I feel as though he treated the repair as if he was doing it for his mother or a daughter. It is nice to know as a woman there is an auto repair shop that will treat you with the same respect as a male!! This will be my go to place for all future car repairs!!

This is a great trusty auto shop. They may not have a website or a way to make appointments online (call them), but they don't need to. With expert service at reasonable prices, word of mouth is enough to keep them plenty busy. If you own a non-US car, this is where you need to have your car serviced.

These guys are the best! If you have a foreign made car, I highly suggest this business. As a woman, I've had a range of interactions with vehicle repair places, and they don't treat me any differently than a man. They charge for the work that they do (in troubleshooting an issue the first time I brought my car in, they could have probably charged me thousands more for troubleshooting, but didn't 💚💚), and weirdly, they *only* recommend work that does need to be done (weirdly they don't try to get you to pay for "all the things" like dealerships). They're patient and HONEST. if you're looking for a great mechanic, give them your business!

I'm only giving a 5 star rating because Google won't let me give any more. These guys are quick, have fair prices, but (most importantly) are honest and ethical. It's occasionally inconvenient that they aren't open on weekends, close by 4pm, have very little parking, and don't have a key drop box, but i would never take my Toyota anywhere else in the area... unless they suggested doing so for a particular job. Absolutely the best I have worked with in anywhere in the Maryland/Virginia/DC area.

This place is fantastic and I trust them completely! I discovered them when my car brakes quit and they were the closest tow. Their service is professional, excellent and priced more than fairly. I brought my car back for an oil change and the service was equally excellent. This is the only place in Maryland I'll take my car to for now on. They not only have my loyalty, but they also have my trust.

Foreign Auto Experts is the HONEST car repair place I have been looking for for years! They have helped me with my car and saved me a lot of money compared to the dealership. One of the parts they replaced ended up having a manufacturer defect and they fixed it at no extra cost to me, not even for the extra service and time it took them to do it. My husband recently took his car there for an issue and they actually sent him to another place because the other place could do the work cheaper for us. Who does that anymore? Love that we can trust our cars to them and know we're not getting ripped off. Also love that they respond to Facebook messages and Steve who I often speak with on the phone is super helpful and kind. Highly recommend!

I own a popular reliable Japanese car. My dealership wrote me a lengthy tune-up report more than two years ago saying my brake pads were worn down to .1 in. Since they'd been pushing $1400+ repairs on a fairly new car with low mileage (I work from home) annually, and the brakes felt fine to me, that was the last straw. My neighbors who used these guys for years recommended them. They told me to wait on the brake pads, and lo and behold the pads held out until this week, when they changed them for a reasonable rate. Another two times I took the car to them because I felt something was off (the tire light was on, etc.) and both times they gave me a clear bill of health and didn't charge me a penny, even though times are hard during the pandemic and they spent time looking at the car. Lovely people with impeccable integrity. They own my business now.

Hands down the best auto repair shop in this State. Brian, Steve, and Dustin are honest and decent people. They will never suggest a repair that isn't necessary and always attempt to do any repair the most cost effective way. They use quality parts and workmanship on all repairs is excellent. I can't say enough good things about them.

I broke my mirror and casing on my 2016 Honda CR-V. I called the Honda dealership and they were going to charge me a high price and I had to go to another dealership to get the mirror. I knew there had to be a better option somewhere else. My relative told me that Foreign Auto experts had good reviews on Nextdoor and they specialized in Honda repairs. I decided to give them a try. I’m so glad she told me about this place. The guys were so nice, professional, and gave me a more than fair price on my mirror. It took no time for the parts to come in or for them to install it. I HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone with a Honda looking to bypass the dealership. Thank you guys!

I had my first experience with Foreign Auto Experts today, as they worked on my Nissan. I needed a new mechanic around the Columbia area, and had heard about them from a Howard Co social media group and a Google search. The two owners of Foreign Auto Experts were communicative, incredibly fair with pricing, and honest in what work needed to be done and what did not. I tried them out based on reviews saying they were honest and pricing was reasonable although not the cheapest around (according to others). Honestly I found the pricing amazing; they didn’t charge labor for what they considered something minor. I felt respected and would describe them as honest and fair. I highly recommend them and will be returning for future maintenance needs.

I used to have my oil change at a dealership and the bill was always over $200 each trip, based on the technician's recommendations. I fell in love with this place after a referral from a church friend and have been taking my car there ever since. They are awesome and honest folks, and they only service Asian cars. The price is very reasonable - less than $40 for an oil change on my civic. Many of my friends also take their cars there. Highly recommended!
