These guys are great! They helped me get an old Jeep that needed a good bit of work back on the road for a reasonable price and did it really quickly. They even worked with the body shop next door to take care of some issues so I didn’t have to do that separately. I’ll definitely be going back for future service.

Started to take my car here 8 years ago and unfortunately have had to bring it in for some major repairs. Peter and the crew always do a great job of diagnosis and repair at a fair price. Most importantly, I trust them completely.

I cannot thank West Chester Foreign Auto enough for their timely work. They hold themselves to a high value of professionalism, while also performing incredible work. My car was deemed inoperable from a previous shop, and Peter and Will went above and beyond to replace and repair the previous work. If your looking for an honest, and reputable shop, look no further! Thank you again for your outstanding work and service!

We have been taking several cars to Peter & Co. at West Chester Foreign Auto over the years after a friend referred us. They did not disappoint. You always get an appointment in a timely manner, they call with updates, are upfront about the cost and have gone above & beyond several times. Thanks!

I have used West Chester Foreign for a few years now with small service needs and larger repairs. The staff is always honest, nice, and detailed in their explanations. There is always a follow up text asking about my appointment and how my car is running. Incredible value for the work and expertise.

Peter and the team at WCFA are the reason I keep coming back. I live about 45 minutes away, but I make the drive because they are by far the best auto shop Ive found in Chester County over the last decade. Extremely reasonable pricing, willing to work with me on timing, and great communication. I trust sending my wife here because Peter gives an honest answer and doesnt gouge like other auto shops. Highly recommended.

This place is a hidden gem. I lived in the area for a while. I went to a lot of the local chains before I got this place as a recommendation. The Customer service is top notch every time you call or come in person. When I moved down south they called and asked about how the car was doing several times. Whenever, I visit the area I make an appointment to have my car checked out. I am a forever customer.

I dealt with both Peter and Justin throughout my car inspection and they were extremely supportive and helpful. I know a lot of shops or mechanics in general get a bad wrap for trying to screw people like me who know nothing about cars out of money. These people are genuine, honest, and will do everything they can to help you.

Review №21

Great place to do business! I worked with both Peter and Justin...both were professional and helpful the whole way through. They worked with my schedule, and rather than going in and just start randomly replacing parts, they put together a plan and found the actual cause of the problem and my 2001 Volvo is running great again!! I would definitely recommend them for servicing your vehicle.

These guys are the best! True pros with great personalities. Cannot give them high enough marks. Scott and Peter are great to work with and provide not only excellent customer service and quality work but they do it a very fair price in a fun atmosphere. If you are looking for a complete maintenance solution from the little things to your larger repairs, and the peace of mind they will be done correctly at a fair price, these are your guys!

West Chester Foreign Auto is the best shop I have found for domestic or foreign cars. They have done top notch work on my Range Rover, BMW Z4 and my Toyota Camry. Their pricing is well below the dealerships in the area and they don’t push extra unnecessary services like many of the other repair shops. I am really happy with their work and the staffs friendliness.

My husband and I have three cars in our household: a Hyundai, Toyota and a Dodge Caravan. We have taken our cars to WC Foreign Automotive for the last five years and have received excellent service. Best of all they are an honest bunch of guys. Always giving us a heads up about upcoming maintenance and saving us money wherever they can. I cant say enough positive about his shop. I will NEVER again go to a dealership for service.

Trustworthy mechanic. They’ve helped me out in a few jams and I couldn’t be more appreciative. They are honest, don’t try to sell work unless they feel it’s necessary for your safety, and prices are more than fair in my opinion!

I used to go to Obriens on Bolmar St. and they closed 5 years back. Since then I have had trouble finding a fair shop that does good work but I think I finally have a home at West Chester Foreign Auto. The most recent thing I had them do was precision engine work and they did the job well, with add on work priced fairly and only where necessary. Ive had work done on my two cars cars & so far they treated my girlfriend well too and didnt try and take her for a ride. I came to hear of the place through extended family who also bring their cars there so Im glad they live up to the positive reputation Ive heard from others in my circle. Thanks fellas!

I have been taking my vehicles that have included a Volvo XC60, Jaguar SType, Mazda Tribute, Dodge Durango, and BMW 535 GT to West Chester Foreign Auto. Pete, Justin and the rest of the crew perform top notch service; always keeping me informed on the work that needs to be done. I highly recommend that if your car needs service or a repair take to West Chester Foreign Auto...you will not be disappointed.

Review №51

Very unhappy - 3 month ordeal with my 1989 BMW 535i - first repair attempt for my transmission was a little pricey, but I thought it would be worth it. After keeping my car for over a month I found that they had not yet ordered all the parts needed to repair. I gave them an additional $1,000 deposit on good faith, and then after ANOTHER two weeks they returned my car with a pure USED transmission, not REFURBISHED like promised.I took car back after 1 week of continued problems and they then told me that it was probably my wheel bearings -- I was not sure, but paid them ANOTHER $1,250 anyway. STILL NOT FIXED. I had to get my car back, unfinished, with poor quality parts installed. I will be filing a police report against them next unless they refund my deposit on work not done.

Review №57

I had a Toyota Land Cruiser there for an inspection, and they said they found a problem with my exhaust system. They ended up charging me over $4,500 after first quoting me $750 for a muffler. They did work that I did not authorize, and after paying them I found out that what work they DID do should only have cost half as much. When I called for an explanation, the person on the phone was very rude to me and was pretty much laughing at me saying I dont care, you already payed. DO NOT USE!

I absolutely love West Chester Foreign Auto Repair (WCFAR) . I towed my Dad’s old foreign car to them, to get it started, after it sat in a garage for 15+ years. Originally, I had planned to transport it out of state for repairs. However, when I met the automotive team at WCFAR, I realized my car was in great hands., so I left it to their foreign car expertise.Pete and the other mechanicanics are very honest, knowledgeable, and customer-focused, They are doing a great job rebuilding the engine and helping me fix my Daddy’s dream car, so we can drive it again.As a female, cars are not my forte. I appreciate Pete and his staff going the extra mile, to explain the automotive work they performing. In fact, they have inspired me to read and educate myself as much as possible about the car.I am pleased to recommend West Chester Foreign Auto Repair. A family owned company, where customers become friends. They do quality work and are all around great people.

I used West Chester Foreign Car Service for the first time on Monday. I had been referred by a couple of friends. I called up to make an appointment for an inspection the friday before and told Scott I had to go out of town Monday asap. He was able to work me in first thing Monday morning and got me on my way. They also charge on the lower end for State Inspection, I think $55. Ill be hitting them up in the future!

Review №70

Scammed me for $6600 in labor that was literally never done. Sold my box truck to them, signed the title in good faith, and then was never paid. In total iv lost tens of thousands with these con men. They purposefully don’t fix cars correctly so they have to be brought back in and they are scamming insurance companies. Don’t bring your car to them. You might not have a car when their done. My box truck is gone and my 1977 Ford thunderbird has been totaled. They just replaced a motor for some guy, charged him $6000. The guy didn’t even make it five miles. Peter (owner) told the guy old engines leak, but it was a brand new engine out of a crate. They are purposefully doing this to their most loyal customer because they think people don’t know where else to go and Peter pretends to be so nice and clueless as to the problems he and his staff are purposefully causing. And don’t be fooled by the good reviews. They are relitives of the employees. Kristin Kunkle is the wife of one of the head mechanics. And if you notice, she’s made multiple accounts to give these guys good reviews. Same with most of the positive reviews. Finally don’t be fooled by their responses in negative review. West Chester Foreign Car regularly committs fraud by erasing and altering records of their customers. I currently am being refused 10 years of auto records by then because I can prove their committed fraud. They are currently trying to purging and destroying the evidence. If they claim someone wasn’t a customer, they are lying.Update: My thunderbirds engine just exploded and caught in fire at the new mechanic. The engine only had around 75k miles in it and it was not leaking gas before Pete got ahold of it. Massive amounts of damage. It’s almost like they sabotaged the car on purpose. No bolts in the seats, breaks were not working properly, and the engine exploded. The rear dif is leaking heavily aswell and I paid them for a proformance one. All they did was slather grease in the old one. This car would have killed me if u had taken it out on the road.I think they wanted that to happen since I threatened them with legal actions reguarding multiple instances of fraud.Update #2: I just found out Peters shop has caused multiple severe accidents in the past year due to fake work. It turns out that thy have multiple apprentices working as mechanics without any oversite or professionals around to check work. They are currently being threatened with multiple lawsuits by multiple different parties. In one of the accidents someone got severely injured. They are purposefully not fixing cars. for example, if you ask them to check your transmission, they will charge your for a ridiculous amount of trans work without actually fixing the problem. Like oil pan or gasket when in reality you need a new trans. It’s like fixing a broken bone with 100 bandaids and charging $95 and hour labor rate. The average labor rate is $40-60. They also mark up any parts they order grossly which by the way is from the worst warehouse in the state. Let’s say a gasket is $150. They will mark it up to $300 then charge u the maximum book time reguardless of how long t takes. And the labor rate will be as if their a speciality shop fixing million dollar supercars. A simple job like a trans swap which should cost under 2k will likely run you 5k with west Chester Foreign Autos. And most likely they won’t even change your trans at first. They will set your car up to need a second job. Their goal is to get you to either cough up thousands or total your own car. In which they will humbly offer you $200-500 for it. Once they have your car they will do the job they told you was worthless and then they will sell the car for a gross profit. It’s their scam. In their mind they have children to feed, and they don’t care if they take the food out of your kids mouth.

This shop is a real gem; I highly recommend it. I took my car in to have a couple of tire issues checked, along with the brakes, since the idiot light for my brakes kept flickering on. I was prepared to need new brakes (after 86,000 miles) and wondered if Id have to buy new tire(s). When I checked in, I could tell right away Scott is good people -- he made a friendly joke about the noise problem in my tire. When all was said and done, it cost me just $61, including the oil change I asked for. He rotated and balanced the tires, found the thing stuck in the tread that was making noise and told me I still had plenty of brake life left. He thinks it just needed a little brake fluid, which they added and didnt even charge for. I give them five stars.

Review №72

Overcharges for labor and over charges for sub standard parts. Slap stick job with little care put into work. The quality of their work has seriously declined. They are blatantly committing auto fraud. Half of the work they charge for and say they do is not actually done. I’ve had to have multiple repairs redone by other mechanics who say the work was never even done in the first place.
