Highly recommend- got me in quickly when my engine light was on, and fixed my car's issues quickly and at a fair price. Also completed my emissions test without any wait.

I am so pleased with the quote and services provided by Matt's. I own a Volvo XC 60 2016. I love my car and always wanted a VOLVO, so I take a great care of my vehicle, never missing mileage service and am always hesitant to take it anywhere, but the Volvo dealship, as it is fair to say I have trust issues. However when I discovered no heat was blowing into my car and took it to Volvo Waukesha dealer, after running diagnostics ($200), they told me the HVAC Blower Motor needs replacement and quoted me close to $3K. At this point I knew i had to get another opinion. I called Matt's (google search with great reviews) and explained the issue. They immediately quoted me a little more than half of what Volvo wanted, so I decided to go with them. The day I took my car to Matt's, Dennis said he wanted to look at it first as he was doubting the HVAC Blower Motor was gone. Later the same day I got a call from Dennis who told me it was my lucky day, as they only need to replace a resistor, which was going to cost me a little over $500 and the HVAC Blower Motor was working just fine. It was such a relief to hear, and the best part, my car was ready for pick up the next day! I just discovered my go-to car shop for life! Can't say "Thank you" enough to Matt's entire team!

Last Sunday, I had my car towed in because it literally died in the middle of the street. I had a friend bring me back to the shop on Monday to plead for help. I have been in town for work and really need my car. Being from out of town can be a very scary experience not knowing reputable shops. Thankfully my friend Gus recommended Matt's and he was right on. They were able to squeeze in my fuel pump and had me off the same day. The service was great and the price was reasonable. I could tell these guys are honest and genuinely try to help people. Today my serpentine belt shredded so the car is headed back for more work, which sucks, but at least I am confident in the shop it is going to. Thank you Matt's!!!Service: Engine repair

Matt s is by far the best place in town to get your foreign car fixed. Dennis is a great at explaining what is wrong and what needs to be fixed. They do not waste your time and your money - like the dealers. I have taken everyone of my cars there. They took care of my sons Honda CRV air conditioning at a half the price of the dealer. The mechanics at Matt s are the best around they do not guess like at the dealerships mechanics.

I'm from IL and my daughter lives in Milwaukee. Had car trouble in Milwaukee and had my Volvo towed to Matt's, even though they had weeks of work scheduled, they listen to my problem and took my car in. They found hard to get parts , fixed things instead of just replacing parts and did it all for a really fair price. We will be using this place again. Great mechanics and a honest team.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Dennis you are the man!!!! Purchased a BMW 650i from out of state that was repaired just enough to cross the state line.Matt's Foriegn Car took my two month nightmare purchase from the dealership who had the car for two months in a foriegn car specialist shop. Corners were cut with glue being used rather than gaskets in the engine!There are no corners cut at Matt's and if there is a way to save you money it is done without affecting the quality of the work!All of our cars go to Matt's Foriegn Car Service. They always beat dealer and third party quotes and back it up with repairs done right the first time!

Dennis was fantastic. I ve been having nothing but issues with my VW and was given a ridiculous price for repairs at the dealership. We found Matt s and they were able to get me in and explained what needed to be fixed at about a quarter of the price. Will definitely be back, thank you guys again!!!!

Prices are fair, work is great, and everyone is friendly. I sincerely enjoyed chatting with Dennis - he provided great explanations for the shop s work and recommendations, and they took excellent care of my vehicles. I give Matt s my highest recommendation. You won t regret visiting them.

Matt's auto shop has been servicing my vehicles for over twenty-five years. I think that says it all!

Matt's does excellent work, consistently meets expectations, and most importantly, has my trust.I don't generally go out of my way to write reviews, good or bad, but the last time I left Matt's, I was overwhelmingly compelled to do so. I bought a 6 month old Mercedes C300 with 5,000 miles, CPO, from the dealership in Milwaukee, and had the first two years maintenance intervals done by the dealership under the CPO coverage. I continued going to the dealership for an additional two years, paying out of pocket, until I realized I was being entirely oversold. I searched for alternatives, and found Matt's.No. The experience is not as white-glove as rolling up to a Mercedes dealership. You don't roll past a grand fleet of brand new luxury vehicles as you arrive at the service department, and no one offers you fresh Starbucks when you step out of the car. What you do get, is service. Damn good service. They will go out of their way to fit you in and accommodate your schedule, they will do the maintenance, repairs, and inspections they promise, as a reasonable price, always damn close, if not exactly for, what they quoted. And I have absolute confidence and trust that they give honest evaluations of the work that needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and when it needs to be done.After years of service, Matt's has absolutely earned my loyalty.Thanks, to Vince, and everyone at Matt's.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Auto maintenance, Oil change

I bought a used Audi A4 less than a year ago and found out the hard way over the first few months of ownership that there was some service history missing from the carfax. I started experiencing issues and took the car back to the place I purchased it from. Once they realized they had to pay for these issues per our "30 day satisfaction agreement", they put a minor "bandaid" on my car to get me through the next few months so they would be off the hook for the problematic car they sold me. This is when I looked into foreign car specialists and found Matt's... and man, I'm glad I did.Matt's found EVERY issue with my car, and didn't just take care of it, but informed me that it looks like someone replaced the engine on this car and did a very bad job. They said it was a good thing I came in because there were lots of bolts missing in my engine bracket that would've eventually led to much worse problems (they replaced all the missing parts for me) ... Thank you to everyone at Matt's you all were very helpful and informative. I will be servicing all of my cars at Matt's and suggest my friends and family do the same!

I waited almost a month to get in, but it was well worth it. So many places told me I needed a new transmission, but Matt s shop knew more about bmw and how gm transmission came with a defected part. Which causing the transmission to malfunction once broke. I am not sure about other s experience, but they ve worked on my bmw twice and I think they have the best prices and service in town. My car was running and done the very next day. There isn t a lot of honest work out there so when you find a business like this people line up. I mean look that their lot. People are lined up for the quality service. Thanks to these guys. I m back on the road. Highly recommended!!!Service: Transmission repair

I was provided a pretty good service here at Matt's foreign Car Specialists. And also, Matt (the owner) is a good guy And I feel like I can trust him. Which is an extremely important factor for me, even more so when it involves anything with my vehicle (Because of the possibility that you could be misled, or taken advantage of, especially if you don't have any vehicle or mechanical knowledge.)

First time taking my car to Matt's. They diagnosed the problem (bad wheel bearings) that another garage had missed, got the parts and I was on my way in a timely fashion! Not the cheapest in Milwaukee but not the most expensive either... and certainly cheaper than the dealership!

I own a 2013 c300 and asked for a complete inspection to determine any service/repairs needed so I could determine whether or not to keep or sell based on services recommended by Matt s Auto. I was anticipating several services/repairs based on the 140,000 miles on my car. To my delight Dennis informed me that the car was in fantastic mechanical condition and besides an oil plug washer needing to be replaced, which they did for free, there were no other issues. There are so many stories of mechanics taking advantage of customers- having an experience like this was refreshing. I highly recommend Matt s Foreign Car Specialists!!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Customer service was great. Matts helped me with a nagging issue in my car that initially we couldn't figure out. Matt was patient and worked with me on figuring out the issue then completing the repairs and doing an excellent job. Pricing was fair and much better than I expected.

Nobody better than Matt's!! I have taken my cars to Matt's for over 8 years. Even after moving out of the Washington Heights neighborhood, I drive the extra distance to have Matt's work on my cars. The team is trust worthy, great to work with, and their service is top notch. I would recommend Matt's to anyone in the greater MKE area.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair, BrakesServices: General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair, Brakes

Matt's is amazing. I've been utilizing their services for several years and I have never been disappointed. I kissed the dealership goodbye a long time ago. Matt's services are phenomenal.

I was taking my car to a high end place in Waukesha. Last year when I got my car back after almost 3k of repair. They not only forgot to put back my under carrier. My car has been shaking since they ve done work on it. Matt s took my car in right away. Got to work on it asap and the price was really reasonable. If you re a German car owner. Please give these guys a chance. You will not be disappointed.Service: Steering & suspension repair

I was going to give up on my sons 2013 VW GTI. It was fouling one of the plugs to the point that I had a 4 pack in the car with a wrench ready to go. It would happen in less then 20 miles. They checked the compression in the cylinders and they all came out fine. Ultimately Bill figured out that we had to use a heavier weight oil with a Lucas additive. Car is running great since 300+ miles. Thanks Guys.Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Oil change

Bought a car from a friend who took it to Matt's for everything for many years. Figured if he liked and trusted them, I'd stick with them as well. Have not been dissatisfied at all.

Brought my car in thinking I need new brakes due to a noise while braking. Also needed an oil change. They inspected the brakes and found they had decent life left noise was likely just some corrosion (it is a 27 year old Corolla). I really appreciate the integrity Matt s showed I expected to pay for new brakes and wouldn t have known they weren t necessary to replace were it not for this shop s honesty. I ll definitely be back.Services: Brakes, Oil change

Our family has been going to Matts since 1972. We travel from Bayside, Mequon, and Fox Point to go there. Matt and his son have the best mechanics business in SW Wisconsin for imports. Dennis, is at the main man desk coordinating day to day and is a constant to flawless service. Our family has been going there for 50 years. They stand by their work and are the best! Cannot recommend enough. Call early they are booked 2 weeks out!~
