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.
Been her many times with my Acura. If you have a well kept Porsche, Audi, or BMW these are the guys. They can work on anything and are detail oriented. The owner has a passion for motorsport and the employees do great work
Lol. sprinter threw a rod. they quoted me 23,000 to fix. dealership quoted 13,000. these people are crooks. also, do not buy a german car unless you hate yourself.
This is where I will be taking my Volkswagens and Audi. The owner is very nice and knowledgeable.
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.
The only place Ill 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. Claudios 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 isnt the place to rant about quoted services you never followed through on.
So farnso good.
Highly recommend! Great customer service and communication.
Business done right!!! The entire staff knows what they are doing. If you own any German or Swedish vehicle you need to go to this place. Claudio is a genius. Its worth it to go here if you live within 150 miles.
This place is totally awesome! Everyone is so amazing
Was told that i cant have work i want done unless i get the work they want to do to my car. my car tell you what it need so why do you need it on another computer cars dont lie to you these guys do!!!just put my fluids to proper level! No its no real money in that
I heard that these guys knew their business. I really tried to find out with a vehicle that I have.They come Highly recommended by a friend of mine who knows the owner.You, sometimes have to test these guys credibility out with your own property.
They treat our daughter great. That means a lot to parent when our kids are away from home. Thanks y’all!
I took my Fiat 500 here, and had an excellent experience. Everything was handled in a timely manner and with great professionalism. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone that needs help with their foreign car.
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 thats what they charge for labor by the hour. This is definitely cheaper than the dealer tho.
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 Ive worked with. Will be visiting again.
Claudio is a top notch mechanic. his crew and Claudio are honest and very knowledgable. Was in an accident, needed a new water pump, pulleys, sensors, etc. they replaced it. Audi dealership wanted to charge an extra $500 just to inspect it, but Claudio didnt need any of that! 6,000 miles in had no issue. Dont listen to the below customer who got an estimate and got offended.
This business was recommended to us by another local business that couldnt work on the make we have. It was a horrible experience. They had the car for weeks. We had to keep calling them. The mechanic assigned lied and tried to cover up. We drove the car there and had to have a flatbed pick it up and take it to Ann Arbor. The owner was rude and condescending. He said he had never seen a car as bad yet Suburban in Ann Arbor wants to buy it. All sorts of things were broken after foreign car services finished with it. The only saving grace at the end was the refund. They should have said they werent skilled to fix it from the beginning and we would have totally respected them.
Best shop in Michigan. Honest mechanics who do their work with pride.
Had my Audi there, charged me OEM prices for third party parts. Expensive but the job was done.
Excellent service from a very honest and hard working group.... Would highly recommend!
Claudio and his crew care about cars and care about their customers. They dont bull$h#$ you -- they just analyze the problem youre having. tell you what and why they think the problem is there, order and install just the parts needed to fix the car properly and send you on your way. They take emergency work without skipping a beat. Thanks guys!
I replaced my own fuel pump in 28 minutes using a $292 fuel pump from Autozone. Foreign Car Services wrote me a quote for $836.47 initially:FCS Pump price 461.39Pump Tank Seal 12.35Fuel Filter 46.51Other Charges 46.22Labor 270.00I disagree with the time they thought they were about to spend on the car; as they are a specialist in Volvo cars and understand wholeheartedly how fast it would take.
I have had my VW there many times. I will continue to bring it to them. I had a battery that was replaced and was warranted less then 6 months. They spent time looking at the codes in the computer and replaced my battery and only charged me one hour. Go somewhere else and see if that is what they do. Thank you Claudio!
Claudio Kaempf is a mechanical genius when it comes to fixing cars. He is not only a brilliant mechanic he is also honest. Those traits are rarely found in the same person. I first met Claudio almost 30 years ago when I lived in Portage and his shop was in Kalamazoo. The wipers on my Honda Civic had broken and the local Honda dealership told me that I needed a new wiper motor. I purchased a used wiper motor and took my car to Foreign Car Services. Claudio took all of 2 minutes to tell me my wiper motor didnt need to be replaced and told me I needed to buy a linkage arm from the dealership for $10.00. I bought the part and Claudio charged me $10.00 for labor to install it.Claudio is in business to make money so he can support his family, not to make friends and influence people. Do you think that people bring their Ferraris and Porsches to Claudio because of his scintillating personality? (Sorry Claudio). No. They bring their expensive cars to him because they wouldnt trust their cars with anyone else. You choose professionals, whether a doctor, lawyer, or mechanic, by their competence and honesty: Claudio has both.So all you weenies and whiners: If you dont like Claudios repair estimate, you are free to take your car elsewhere and pay twice as much for labor.But dont use these reviews to get your revenge and hurt an honest mans business.
Always great service and I trust them more than any dealer.
Would not go anywhere else! Honest, Trustworthy and Dependable.
Better than going to a dealership!
Good work.
Only called to get a estimate, yet I a cheap so I didnt go with them, but if I had the money would def. Take my car to them
Good work!
Honest, knowledgeable, trustworthy and FAST!
