It's rare to find a foreign car repair shop that doesn't overcharge or take advantage, but I can say when we drop my wife's Mercedes off, I have trust that the repairs and service will be correct, appropriate, and cheaper than the dealership!I always have to drool over the exclusive cars I find here, and I'm amazed by the diversity. Of course there are European fine cars, but I have also witnessed American cars being serviced, usually rare models requiring expert mechanics. Today, there was an AC Cobra motor sitting in a corner, awaiting installation ("He's got to buy the car first" I was told), an early square body Bronco was up on a lift next to a Plymouth Prowler. A Ferrari was in another corner, waiting its turn, and that was just inside the shop! The parking lot was full of exotic machinery, from a Corsa Corvair to several Porches, and I suspect the owner's Maserati (drool).No, they are not a cheap shop, but the quality of the work is worth every penny.I highly recommend them.

I was referred to this shop over 15 years ago by a BMW technician that told me I could save some money on a repair I needed at the time if I took it to them and the work they said would be top notch. I did and it was! Anyone who owns any of these European cars know that repair work does not come cheap, but at this shop they are fair, honest and stand behind their work. I took my M5 in for AC work and after something else went wrong with it shortly after I had it repaired, although they were backed up almost two months in appointments, they asked me to bring it back in and they would work me in. Turns out the blower on the A/C had failed and they worked it in and I had it back within a week. They could have easily put me in the cue for a later time, but did not, given the high temperatures we had been experiencing. Needless to say, I don't take my vehicles anywhere else.

I've been a customer since moving back to Shreveport in 2008. They do outstanding work and reasonable prices and have worked on everything I own from my 1939 Chevrolet, various Lexus, and all the Porsches I've had since 2008.

Was traveling cross country and having issues with my Audi. Even though they were booked up they took a look and helped trouble shoot the issue. Appreciated them taking the time and the great customer service!!

I unknowingly bought a car that is so old the Mercedes dealership won't even work on it. Well this place does and they are reasonably priced. I found out that most auto shops don't work on foreign cars either which, I didn't even realize that my car was. So I was warry of the "only place in town" that would work on my car, figuring to pay a handsome price. I was pleasantly surprised to not be ripped off and to feel like I can trust them with future work.

I've taken my cars there for a number of years and they've always done excellent work at reasonable prices. My cars are much less expensive and exotic than pretty much everything that sees work in this shop yet Watson and co. treat me like a valued friend. Foreign and Classic is the best shop around and with pricing that's much less costly than the dealership.

Just had my BMW repaired at F&C! This is a great place for repairs. I know just enough about my car to know that Charlie and Watson were extremely knowledgeable about BMW and the repair my car needed. The cost of the repair was very reasonable and when I picked the car up I drove away in confidence. It not only ran great but looked great thanks to the detail guy. I will go back every time I need a repair.

I own a 01 Mercedes clk 320. I spoke with the owner and I must admit was very knowledgeable and professional, however after hearing pricing for an oil change and coil replacement, I almost hung up the phone. "High"! Coil/spark plug $690/ friend $150. 1/ $690 friend/all 12 $150

Wayne, Curtis, and John took damn good care of me when my only car decided to start sputtering on me. They took the time to troubleshoot, converse, and talk with me to get symptoms down so they could solve the problem I was having. Didn't take very long, great price, and my car runs like it just came from the factory, even with 130xxx miles on it! Couldn't be happier with the new performance, and the service over here. Really great people, 11/10 rating if I could!

Reapaired my 911's wheel and saved me a significant amount of money over what the Porsche dealership was going to charge me for the same repair. Also, they were able to get it done the same day I brought it in. They're very knowledgeable when it comes to the Porsche brand and do excellent work. Highly recommend.

Great service at affordable rates. It's great to know they are honest and not going to charge for unnecessary repairs. Wayne is very knowledgeable about my VW Eos and explained to me exactly what my Eos needed. I love my Eos and don't trust just anyone to work on it. So I'm so happy I found out about Wayne and Foreign & Classic Auto Centre! My Eos has over 104,000 miles on it and I hope it stays running for another 100,000 miles with the help of Wayne and Co. Thanks much for your honesty, affordable rates and wonderful service! Also thanks much to your detail guy for cleaning my car and making it look like new again! Karen Tester

Charlie and Wayne from Foreign and Classic do great work. Their prices are fair and way below the dealerships service prices. I recommend that anyone with a foreign or classic car take their vehicle there.

Big time CROOKS! My wife brought the car for an A/C diagnostic, they did not even fix the A/C and wanted to charge her $250 claiming that they added 2 ounces of refrigerant! The A/C still does not work!
