My wife and I have been using Jim and Brian for years. Two of my children live out of town. When they are visiting we bring their cars in for service. The feedback, reliability and service has always been excellent. We love family owned businesses!

Jim & Brian are knowledgeable and friendly. Rates are reasonable, and work is well done. And they're the most ethical mechanics that I've ever known.

Jim and his team are great. Dropped everything to check out the engine light on my Fiat 500. A faulty gas cap. They wouldn't charge me even though I repeatedly asked to do so. They are super helpful and go above and beyond. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for awesome service and value.

I've been going to see Jim and his team at Foreign & Domestic for a few years now. Every repair and maintenance job has been priced competitively and they've proven themselves honest, straightforward and skilled. I brought them my Hyundai Accent and now my Subaru Impreza. I highly recommend this company. The first time I went in with a drivers window that wouldn't go up or down Jim told me what part to go buy and how to install it myself and charged me nothing. He simply asked that I return when I needed service in the future. Since then I've come to them with any repair I've needed and been highly pleased with the cost and service.

Jim will always have my business. He's usually cheaper than everyone else, because he's the best. His son has now taken over parts of the business and was trained by Jim and is equally awesome. Highly recommended for everyone, but in particular for female customers who want to be treated with respect by their auto mechanic.

I have used FDA for 5 years for service on my Honda Element and my wife's Volkswagen Jetta; the repairs are done on time and at a fair price. They show you the old parts they replace & explain any issues they find.

It seems like I bring my 2009 Maserati Granturismo S to these guys every other week and they always diagnose its problems quickly. Their prices are very reasonable and their knowledge is unmatched. I will continue to come here as long as my Maserati continues to be Italian.

I have been going to FDA for a number of years and have always had great experiences with them. They are honest, competent, and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. Jim always takes his time to explain everything to me and never pushes me to do more work than is necessary on my beat up old beamer. Most recently, while I was driving, my car started making a loud, scary noise. I called FDA right away to see if I could bring it in that day. They said sure but, after I took it in, it quit making the noise! They checked everything and realized a rock or something must have gotten stuck in my wheel and then fallen out. They didn't charge me for anything. Amazing! Such kind, upstanding neighbors!
