Foreign Auto Specialists are truly specialists in the world of automotive repairs, service and maintenance. From the moment I walked in, Brian greeted me with warmth and professionalism. Brian goes above and beyond to diagnose and fix the issue with my car. His attention to detail and expertise in foreign cars is unparalleled. I felt confident and reassured throughout the entire process. As a Canadian snow bird I highly recommend Foreign Auto Specialists to anyone in need of top-notch service for their foreign vehicle. No B.S., no long stories, no excuses just satisfaction. Thank you for your exceptional work!

Awesome experience every time, which is rare when having your Benz repaired. Fee, turn time, quality work. Why would anybody choose the alternative

One of the few honest people remaining in our country/state/city/town. I have been taking my car to Brian for 10+ years. I hold and keep my cars until high mileage. So far EXCELLENT. Imagine taking care of something as important as your car and not having to visit the dealership for many years...

I ve been getting my 2011 Mercedes Benz E350 Bluetec car serviced at Foreign Auto Specialists for the past three years. Both for regular service maintenance and repairs. I m very satisfied with the service provided at every visit. Work is performed in a timely manner so downtime is kept to a minimum. Repairs are performed professionally so there has never been the need for a second visit to address the same problem. Brian runs a tight ship and I feel that I receive a very personalized treatment. I recommend this shop if you don t want to pay dealership highway robbery prices yet receive top notch knowledgeable service!

At first I was happy bcuz brian is way cheaper than Bmw but he is actually one of those mechanics they warn you about. I brought my car for repair and when paying I said how does everything else look I can t have any more issues. He said well actually I hear something that could be a start of a big problem but that may be a year down the road I just can t tell. You just never know w older cars. Might be a $2k + repair. . Then a few days later another warning light went one. I happened to get a referral to a diff place. At this honest place he called me over and asked where did you last bring your car because this bolt was intentionally left loose to open them and cause your light to go in and yes it would ve lead to a $2-3k repair! Since he tightened it, my light went off and my car is running smooth!!! :))) Brian you re dishonest & a thief. The honest place is airman automotive in riviera beach. The owner there is incredibly educated in foreign cars and incredibly honest and all his good karma will go to him. I m so grateful to have found him and now me and my daughter get to keep our bmws.

Brian and his team are very good, fair and offer excellent service. I have been a client since 2011. They have serviced three Mercedes cars for us over the years... to our satisfaction every time. Recently I purchased a new MB Roadster, and now we are back again as a client for the 12th year running. I highly recommended FAS for service on any imported vehicle!

If you are looking for an honest and reliable place to take your car, this is it! Brian is absolutely wonderful. I just purchased a new to me BMW and needed to bring it in for service. Brian was very helpful and explained everything to me. He did not try to charge me for things I didn t need. I will definitely continue to take my car there for everything!!Services: Electrical repair, Auto engine diagnostic

I wish I can give this place 10 stars. After receiving double the price quotes from several local shops including Braman Mini I decided to go with Brian at Foreign Auto Specialists for my battery replacement for my wife s Mini Cooper.Brian was the only one to quote me a reasonable price without upselling me on other diagnostic services that my car with only 29,000 miles did not need. The shop is super clean and equipped with the latest equipment to trouble shoot any issues you may have with your BMW or Mini. The entire replacement process took less than an hour.If you are looking for an honest, reliable and trustworthy independent shop then call Brian and he will take care of you!Thank you so much Brian for your wonderful efforts, will be coming back to see you again for my next service.Service: Battery

Great service. I took my 10 year old Mini in to be fixed, and it was like a brand new car when I picked it up.

Excellent customer service! Brian and staff are friendly, professional and very knowledgeable in foreign cars. I have Been a client for the past 2 years and I am very satisfied with the quality of the work and the price. Being a woman who doesn t know much about cars, Brian explained things thoroughly and was honest with the findings. The office is clean and quiet, I was able to sit and wait for them to finish working on my Mercedes Benz in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend Foreign Auto Specialist to anyone looking for a superior quality mechanic at an affordable price. Services: Electrical repair, Air & cabin filter replacement, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

Found Brian & his shop based off the great reviews I saw from other folks. I brought my 2013 E70 BMW X5 for a Transmission Service. I had whining noises, crazy loss of power, etc. They finished the service within a few hours and my X5 was as if it drove like new again straight off of the lot. FAS is a group that you can trust to get honest service & honest opinions of taking care of your Foreign Vehicle. Highly Recommended.

I was serviced by Cupelli Automotive in August 2022 for oil and filters change.After work was done their rep told me, that there is a leak and timing cover gasket must be replaced soon. Cost $1,980.00I asked to be sure: Two grand for gasket? Yes, he answered.In this moment I knew that they are ripping me off, I knew.I left and couple days later I drove to F.A.S. in WPB. Brian look at leak, told me that it is not critical I can drive for while. I asked how much do he charge to fix it? He said: Around $820.00 . Yes, it is correct: $820.00. $1,160.00 less than Cupelli Automotive!After some vacation I returned home, made appointment with F.A.S. and delivered them car on 10/12/2022 in the morning.At afternoon I received repaired car and paid $822.03. Brian, owner of F.A.S. told me that vibration from engine transferred to entire body of the car are result of worn engine mounts and both of them have to be replaced and it will cost me ~$1,800.00. I was thinking about do it myself, but I found that it is very difficult and I can t do it in my home garage.I called Mercedes Benz in WPB. They told me that it cost over $3900.00.Three days later I deliver my car to Brian and now car runs smoothly like a new for less than half Mercedes service estimated.So will I go to Mercedes for service? Never, ever.I had problem with their service for years, this is a reason I was looking for someone else and finally I found it: Foreign Auto Specialists, Inc. in WPB. I am really sorry that it took me so much time to find them.It is soooo difficult to find someone good and honest in South Florida, where I live now.They use torque wrench to tighten bolts and nuts, not like mechanics in Mercedes service department, who in spite of my request to not over torque lugs applied 90�170% more torque than required.After FAS serviced my car, I checked torque applied to lugs and bolts. All torque by the book.When I lived in MA I had mechanic I trusted him with my car: Paul Roux in Berlin, MA. Finally I found someone in South Florida: Brian Baxter. My car was over there only twice, by he already got my trust. Why? He is honest and does job according to technical specs! Not like Mercedes service in WPB or Coconut Creek.I recommend Foreign Auto Specialists, Inc. and I will make correction if they loose my trust.Service: Brakes

Brian the owner is great. The front office is very clean, very professional and quick in and out. The shop in the back is also very clean, and organized. That says alot about the work they do on their cars. His hourly labor rate is VERY reasonable for European cars and much less than the other places we have taken our cars to. We took our 2011 CL550 with an a/c problem and he had it fixed in a day. We will come back to bring our other vehicles here from now on. Thanks Brian! Our new local mechanic!

Awesome Company!! I was very impressed with the rate they quoted me and how quick they were able to completed my Brake Work. They also talked me out of doing the back brakes on my Maserati and said I had plenty of pad left. I loved the experience, the professionalism and honesty. Good Luck Brian!! I will tell all my friends

Have been using Brian & Foreign Auto Specialists for over a decade now. I won't take any of my cars anywhere else. He is one of the few honest, fair, mechanics who values customer svc. and doesn't charge for things that don't need to be done. Have many family members and friends using him too.... he can work on anything from a Honda to a Bentley. Never been disappointed!

After dropping off my car (as I scheduled the week before), I had not heard a word. At 9:30 a.m. I called to make sure they were working on it and found it was still parked outside and the person in charge wasn't in yet. I left a message with the mechanic for the owner to call me before they started working on my car. At 10:20 a.m. received not a word and left another voice message. They may do good work once they start, but any company with such an inattentive front desk is a serious problem.

I have been a customer for many years and I would not trust my cars with any other specialist. Honest, knowledgeable reliable and friendly are but just a few of the qualities that make Brian and his team top notch. I highly recommend his services.

These guys are great! Very knowledgeable, very polite, and very professional. Their prices are very reasonable and fair. But most importantly, they aren't trying to steal your money. I went in for what I thought was a bad wheel bearing on my BMW, instead of just replacing it, they called to let me know that I was mistaken and gave me options. Love it, would deff go back and would deff recommend them

Straight forward as they come with no nonsense! You can tell Brian has a passion for finding and correcting the issue no matter how hard it may be to diagnose. I've done multiple repairs with him over the years and never had an issue with his work. I wouldn't trust my car with anyone else.

We have been a customer of Foreign Auto Specialists for over a year now and could not be happier with the level of service, professionalism, and knowledge of the staff. They know European cars better than any and have a great team. If you're looking for a reliable, honest shop that will treat you with a personal level of respect and care, this is it. A+++
