They were honest and let me know the car wasn't worth the repairs it needed. They didn't charge a storage fee. Nice, polite people!

I had my 2008 Volvo C70 with nearly 190k miles towed to this shop for several problems: would not crank, needed a new timing belt, previous error code diagnostics indicated cam shaft/timing issues. Davin’s team installed my new (Volvo OEM spec) Continental timing belt and water pump, and they purchased a few extras (after confirming first with me: other engine drive and accessory belts, oil separator, spark plugs etc) and worked with me to source a few other higher ticket item parts (all Volvo OEM) ie timing belt sprockets and engine mount at the BEST price from Volvo OEM part retailers in the region and online. They also gave me a print out of the scanned error codes, and shared their diagnostic / troubleshooting plan. They were very fair, always communicated well, and served me well (didn’t double charge labor once deep in the engine). The cost of maintaining high mileage European cars (I’ve had 4 Volvos total, still have 2 of them) isn’t lost on me. Foreign Auto Clinic is fair in their service pricing (viz labor) and communicate well with their customers sourcing the best OEM parts (local parts stores are limited with European cars). I highly recommend Foreign Auto Clinic for any Volvo or European car owner in the Waco and surrounding area. Davin is an excellent manager and has an outstanding team. Well done folks. Update 19 Dec 24, Foreign Auto Clinic once again took nice care (diagnosis and repair) of my daughter’s 2006 BMW X5. They interpreted the error codes, and fixed what was most important to me. A great shop for the Waco area.

Outstanding service from the time you enter the office with great performance.They were the only ones I trusted with my Volvo and now with my E 350 Mercedes. A real comfortable atmosphere as well.

The only place I take my Mercedes to be repaired. A place where I don’t have to worry about being overcharged. They’re very personable and treat you like family.

This is a first class company. Paula and Davin are genuine and very helpful in many ways. They have saved me money and time from the sharks at Mercedes Benz of Waco. It is so refreshing to bring my cars to them. Honesty is so rare in this industry. I am so great full. Thanks again

I have nothing other than very nice things to say about this shop. Back in May, I had a coolant leak on my car, which was a plastic crossover pipe. I replaced it with aluminum and it was still leaking from a different spot. After putting my car back together, it was leaking at the very front of the engine. I decided to take my car over to Foreign Auto Clinic to help fix the issue, since I did not feel confident in tearing the car down a 3rd time. They were able to diagnose the vehicle, and fix whatever repairs I needed, and did it in a timely manner. I highly recommend this place for any Jaguar/Land Rover vehicle. As of writing this review, I did 2 launches from 0-75 with no weird noises, or coolant loss. Very very happy to get my car back up and running.

Davin was wonderful helping me diagnose and repair a concealed washer fluid leak. He and his technicians expertly repaired the leak and even went thru the effort of drying my carpets. Highly Recommend !

When we couldn't get adequate service from the local Toyota dealer service department, we were referred here by another maker's service depot. Foreign Auto Clinic scored high on all counts - great & knowledgeable customer service, fast turnaround, and acceptable costs. The physical building is clean and tidy. We're taking our Toyota here from now on.

Had my car towed there was told the only problem is the mass air intake sensor. Charged me 200 for the sensor and I found the exact same sensor online for $98 (I saw this after I paid). Told me my battery is also about to go out and mumbled over the phone and the only thing I heard was $403( I thought $403 for everything) It was $403 for just the battery and in total I paid $890. Crooked shop

I took my 2016 Mini Cooper S in for repairs that were estimated by another service facility at 3 times higher than Foreign Auto Clinic's estimate. They completed the work to my great satisfaction on time and on budget. I was very pleased with the professionalism and friendliness of the service advisors and the parts department specialist. The office looks to have been recently remodeled and is a pleasant place to conduct business. I highly recommend Foreign Auto Clinic for your foreign car repair needs.

It was my first visit to the Foreign Auto Clinic……..it was an excellent experience. They looked my car over and gave me a few items that needed to be addressed. I received a call to go over the list and I picked the ones that I wanted taken care of that day. Service was quick and workers polite and helpful. I will be back!

Drove my BMW 328I to the shop. The care was going into “limp mode” from time to time. Was told car needed a new battery cable $400 plus installation of said cable $2,200. Told them I would install the cable myself at that price. Went to pick up car, paid them $596.57. I had to have the car towed to my house (the same car I drove to the shop) at my cost. Once I looked at the car, the battery cable only needed to be cleaned. I cleaned the cable and there was no damage at all to the cable. Took the $400 cable back (unopened, in original packing) and requested a refund for a cable I did not need. They said it was special order and no refund would be made. I reminded them that they had said the cable was needed when, in fact, it was not. I offered to take the mechanic to the car so he could see the old cable only needed to be cleaned. He refused. They screwed me but it could have been worse…..I could have paid an additional $2,200 for them to replace a cable that was in good working order. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. THE PLACE LOOKS NICE, IS CLEAN BUT THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!!!!

Save time and money. Take your vehicle with confidence to Central Texas’ home of the most honest, experienced, efficient and best value all around, service professionals in the industry. You will only pay for the services you need. I have my Mercedes serviced there, as for all of my vehicles, regardless of make and model. If you are in need of service, take advantage of the opportunity to do business with FAC. Waco is lucky to have these professionals.

Whoever answered the phone was rude. I did not get past initial phone call to see if they could work on my car.
