Amazing service. They are easy to talk to on the phone, and actually give a quote on the phone, which feels like it's rare nowadays. They didn't make an effort to upsell me, and finished the project exactly on the timeline they originally said, with good and prompt communication the entire time. Will 100% be returning and I will recommend them to anyone who needs a foreign car shop.

1st visit to Dennis Sherman with a great 10yr old Cayenne with 91K miles they made it even better. They did a complete inspection of the car, found two issues, explained the issues and the solutions clearly. They completed the work ahead of schedule, and their estimates were good.

Took my Porsche Macan Turbo in for a coolant leak. Felt like they were fairly priced and got me fixed within 24 hours. Very happy with their service. They have good reviews for a reason

Dennis Sherman has cared for my car for the last 23 years. I am the second owner as of 3-4 years ago and a grateful recipient of all the care it received. I know I will have another 20 years with this baby because of their continued care. They are trustworthy and kind.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dennis Sherman Foreign Car Service for the first time, and I must say that my experience exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the level of professionalism, expertise, and honesty displayed by the team at this auto service center was outstanding.

I ve been taking my 2018 Audi Q5 since after factory warranty ran out. I ve been extremely satisfied with the service and rate s which are much lower than dealer. This weekend my Audi was shaking violently and lost power with several warning codes on. I called Monday morning and was told to bring it in. I was extremely pleased when they called early afternoon to tell me they found the issue and repaired a wire which broke. I was charged the standard diagnostic fee and an additional $7 for repairing the wire. Prompt service and very reasonable price. I highly recommend for Audi service and repair.Service: Auto engine diagnostic

We have been taking our 2003 BMW 330i here for more than 10 years, and we have always been very happy with the service and communication of Dave and Scott. They give excellent service and let you know what needs to be taken care of now and what can be postponed. They are always courteous and helpful. We really trust them with our car.

This is my first visit to this shop. I was impressed with Scott providing me full information on the repair of my care. The shop was clean. I have full confidence on the knowledge and care that was provided to my Porsche Cayman. Based on my experience at Dennis Sherman Foreign Car Service I would give it 5 stars.Services: Carburetor cleaning, Vehicle safety inspection, Oil changeServices: Carburetor cleaning, Vehicle safety inspection, Oil change

Have been using them for a few years. They are always prompt, efficient and fairly priced. While I was there I asked whether they should change my oil and oil filter, they said that because of the low mileage I should wait another 6-9 months. I would have otherwise had them change it. They did replace my front brakes and had completed it the same day I dropped the car off. I highly recommend themService: Brakes

I cant say enough good things about Dennis Sherman Foreign Car Service!! I first visited Dennis Sherman four years ago on a recommendation from a friend as an alternative to the dealership. Because of their outstanding work and friendly staff I keep coming back. Now that both of my Porsches are off warranty, the only place it will take them is Dennis Sherman. The prices are reasonable with no up-sale. When I purchase my next P-Car it will be going to Dennis Sherman Foreign Car Service. If you are looking for a dealership alternative, give Dennis Sherman a try!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Oil change

Great reliable and trustworthy shop.Our family has been using Dennis Sherman Foreign Car Service for BMW car repairs for well over 10 years. Scot and Dave (& other staff members) are very accessible and always seem to fit us in....no matter if a minor or major repair. They are also trustworthy in their recommendations on what really needs to be repaired to keep us safe and on the road. Rates are fair, repairs are finished in a timely manner and they stand behind their work. Great local shop!

Scott and the crew there were welcoming and efficient and effective in working on my Mini Cooper S. When I brought it to them, the Mini wasn't running. They were able to diagnose the issue within a day and found it to be a control panel behind the interior fuse panel. They double checked with me every step of the way to make sure they had my approval to continue and were clear about the costs as well. After they had completed the job, they told me that it took less time than they had estimated and lowered the job price accordingly. I am thoroughly impressed with these guys!!Services: Electrical repair, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic

Consistently up front and honest about the work needed - including what can be pushed to the right, or just watched. Prices are fair (Porsche/Audi/BMW owners should assume repair costs are what they are), but Dave and Scott go out of their way to look for savings - aftermarket when feasible. Mechanic (Steve) service is thorough and correct every time. 15 years of having my Audis serviced here.Services: Engine repair, Oil change

Before buying my 2005 Porsche, I had Dave at Sherman Foreign Car check out the vehicle. They were amazing...great communication, professional, and very fair prices. Dave and the staff care, and it shows. I took the vehicle back for a known issue with the vehicle slow-starting. Dave had told me it could be two things - one of those meant he might need to keep the car overnight to get the part. When I showed, he had already secured one part and the other part that would take a day...he found one locally so I could have my car back in a day. And that's exactly what they did...got my car back the same day without any problems. It runs great and I'm super happy.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Just took my 2004 BMW 530i into Dennis Sherman today to get my oil changed. And I was amazed at what I saw when I walked in, this is the CLEANEST mechanic shop I have ever been in, I was sold just on the looks. All the guys there are very friendly and informative about what issues your car might have, even more informative than the BMW dealer I used to take my car too. Dennis Sherman is now my new mechanic for my BMW, I feel confident that I am getting 100% honest and trustworthy work done to my car here. I highly recommend to anyone with a BMW to go check these guys out, you won't be disappointed.

Ive been coming to Dennis Sherman for several years now for my BMW after I was tired of the outrageous prices at the dealership.

I always get my 2007 Audi S4 Avant serviced here. The atmosphere in the shop is always cool, being one of the only B7 S4 Avants in the area they know me by name which is cool.So "....if your car is German, take it to Dennis Sherman..."I would recommend Dennis Sherman Foreign Car Services to anyone driving a foreign vehicle. 5/5 stars because I've never had a bad experience hereServices: Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

BMW 335i Changed plugs, put in a new washer pump, replaced struts and repaired some suspension components. These items were identified by a dealer as part of a free multi-point inspection. Charged about half of dealer price to repair, and the job is just as guaranteed. Very professional, cost effective, and empathetic to an owner who feels their car has let them down. They even repaired something which needed adjustment after Sherman's last oil leak fix a few months ago ...free of charge.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair
