Let my annual inspection slide until the last day of the month (I know). Cory and the guys at Foreign Car Service were polite and able to squeeze me in. I told them no rush and they were still able to get it done within 2 hours. I ve been going to the Jeep dealership I purchased my vehicle at, but due to their graciousness I will begin having it serviced here. Thanks again!

Andreas really knows a Benz in & out. My appointment & car service went well here@FCS. Very reasonably priced service & dealership quality of work done on my car. I have no complaints & highly recommend FCS if you have a foreign car.

I went to foreign car service for years when I had my BMW. I had nothing but good experiences when utilizing their services. More reasonably priced than the BMW dealership and never had a problem with anything having to be fixed more than once.I bought a ford a few years ago and figured i would just have it serviced at the Ford dealership since service on a Ford is substantially cheaper than a BMW. Two years ago, after taking my car into the Ford dealership for a strange sound, I was told by the service manager that I need a repair that would cost $1700. They informed me that it wouldn't be safe to drive with out the repair. Just to get a second opinion I took my car to Foreign Car Service. (They also work on American cars)I told them what the dealership had told me and after inspecting my car they informed me that the deanship was "wrong". They performed the repairs for me and it was something far less significant than the Ford dealership had said it was. They ended up saving me more than $1000. I truly appreciate their integrity and honesty.

I won't take my Mercedes dealer because their service is terrible and they rip you off. That has not been my experience at FCS. Their prices are reasonable and the work is quality. Make sure you call first to schedule an appointment.

Really like these guys. They are more expensive than your average car repair shop, but definitely worth it as they do high quality work. Once you get to know them they treat you like family, and don't short change you. When they call suggesting an additional repair it doesn't feel like they are out to get me, but rather are just looking out for my best interest. Would highly recommend them if you are looking for superior car service in the Alexandria area!

I have an older model vehicle (1987 Toyota Corolla LE) which required carburetor repair/replacement. Steve showed & explained the problem to me. The repair was done with a short turnaround (about 1 1/2 days) at a reasonable cost. Thanks for the great service!Services: Carburetor cleaning, General repairs & maintenanceServices: Carburetor cleaning, General repairs & maintenance

We've taken our cars to Foreign Car Service for many years. Exceptionally professional level of service and fair prices. Their approach to respect for customers reflects the integrity of a family owned business that started in Northern Virginia about 50 years ago. You won't find a better or more reliable car repair facility.

Honest, reliable, timely service. My car actually drives better now, which I suppose is to be expected since they fixed a few things. What wasn't expected is that they cleaned my rims after rotating the tires. I am shamefully lazy about washing my car but in this little detail they returned the car looking much better than it did when I took it to them. And of course it runs better. BTW, I drive a domestic car, so don't let the name scare you away.

Corey and the Maintenance team got my '17 911 Carrera squared-away within one day! All service was reasonably priced compared to the dealer in Tysons Corner (especially since my warranty recently expired) and I'm planning on making return service visits in the future. Great family-run business and I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

Cory did a great job getting my 1976 MB 450SL in super shape after some engine trouble. Great place to take a classic Mercedes for general work. Plan to use them for as long as I own it. Very pleased.

Ignore any negative reviews you see here. I have been a customer of Foreign Car Service for 30 years. In fact, my dad was going here before I was old enough to drive. No auto repair shop is free, but this is a family owned business that has been around since 1964. Honest, straightforward and knowledgeable.

Very reliable and fair. They charge less than the dealer, and the work and customer service are better. I have been going there for 10 years. I have had 1 issue / disagreement with them. They gave me a partial credit. Pretty good track record after all that time.

Really good service by seemingly expert mechanics who know their cars. Andreas is great to work with and very attentive and professional. Prices are better than dealer prices. Visit them if you have a VW?

Great local service shop. Helped me find a replacement tire set and get me back on the road in record time!Living nearby, I always see this place staying busy, which is a great sign.

I had an OE spoiler installed on my 1999 M3. The work was excellent, the customer service was mediocre. Job took an extra day, spent a lot of time on hold, that sort of thing. But work was done well, these guys know BMWs.

Problem with car was misdiagnosed. One month after spending $500, I am spending another $200 to fix the problem. I dont feel they listened to me on the symptoms, and repaired an unrelated issue. The poor diagnosis actually created a dangerous situation with a fuel leak. I dont think there is good communication between the front office and the mechanics.

$95 to get a diagnostic report and quote. Got quoted $1,265 to replace catalytic converter. Part online costs ~$150 they charging $810. Even got hit with a $6.99 "supplies" fee - which apparently pays for the lights, utilities and other overhead costs necessary to run the business. These guys are what gives auto repair shops such bad reputations.

Good people and good repair. Can be pricey but they never tried to upsell me or screw me on products I didn't need which I value greatly. Big thank you to them!

Save this business, if you have a bmw out of warranty you are going to need it. They work on all cars
