The staff at Foreign Auto Center went way beyond what I expected and provided excellent expert results. I highly recommend!

I took my Subaru here multiple times for different issues and I’ve always had good experiences. As a woman I’ve had bad experiences with other mechanics in the city but not with Foreign Fix. Jason always quoted the price as soon as they figured out the issue and I never felt like I was getting ripped off. Once they put in a bad part (just bad luck) but they fixed it again no problem. Will use them in the future 100%.

My most recent experience here was not good at all. First, horrible communication. I left my car with foreign fix and after they told me what was up with my car, I did not hear from them again. I texted and called but no answer. It’s obvious I was being ignored bc the shop did not want to do the work on my car. It’s fine that they didn’t want to work on my car. What’s not fine is ignoring me and not being honest and telling me that. It was very inconsiderate bc I ended up wasting a few days when I could’ve just gone to another shop. Also, I work in New Jersey so I really needed my car. Second thing that really irked me was when I passed by my car after business hours and they left my car unlocked on the street. They lost me as a customer but I guess that doesn’t matter to Jason bc he gets a ton of business either way.

Shout out to Jason and the team for doing great work. Wouldn't want to take my BMW anywhere else in Philly! 100% recommend.

Unfortunately, I am very dissatisfied with the repair work performed on my 2016 Toyota Tacoma at Foreign Fix earlier this year, following a hit-and-run accident. I initially brought my vehicle to the shop for repairs, filed a claim through my insurance, and trusted that Foreign Fix would restore the truck to its proper condition, given all of the great reviews I saw online. However, upon picking up my truck after the supposed completion of repairs, I noticed that a portion of the left rear bumper bracket was hanging below the vehicle. On the right rear bumper bracket, a clip was holding it securely in place, while the left side was missing a similar clip. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the bumper bracket on the left side was, in fact, broken, leading me to believe that it was not replaced. I promptly brought this to the attention of the owner. Instead of properly replacing the damaged part, Foreign Fix opted to use a zip tie to secure the dangling flap to the broken bumper bracket. This solution is not acceptable. I expected the bumper bracket to be replaced correctly, as originally agreed upon (and paid for). Seeking a second opinion, I took my vehicle to another body shop, where I was informed that the bumper bracket is indeed broken and requires replacement. The cost of this repair is approximately $500. If I want my truck restored to its original condition, for which my insurance and I already paid in full, I am on the hook for an out-of-pocket expense due to the incomplete work performed by Foreign Fix. I would welcome a prompt resolution by the business.

Jason is a Class Act. He is super honest which makes him easy to trust. In a time where everything is rising in cost, he remains reasonably priced. This is the only shop to use in ur looking to get quality work and have it done in a timely manner.

Came here for an inspection, very friendly, quick, and helpful ~ seemed expensive though ($108) which makes me a little hesitant to come back for any potential future service/maintenance

Been calling around multiple shops to get my bmw in as most won’t take my car, however most of them recommended me here! Got me in quick and was able to get me my car back the very next day. Super reasonable prices and honest. Thank u iason!

It's such a pleasure, my car turns on everytime ! Thanks FFACI , for getting to the root of the problem ! U cured my anxiety, wondering if it won't turn on some days.

Got me in quick, immediately identified the issue, and had my car back to me in 24 hours. Very professional.

I will make it easy and short so it is easy to read: I took my car there because they said compressor was seized up. They changed me 1500, paid 500over Venmo right away other 1000 in cash when I picked up. The car was hit with huge scratch on it. They did not fix the body work, they did nothing. No compensation. This is how Jason does work! Great job Jason. Be proud of your work.

These guys are solid. I have tons of options closer to where I live but I still bring my car here.

Brought my SUV here recently for an inspection. Quick and honest. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.

These guys are amazing! I reached to them regarding the coolant level and check engine light. They were able to accommodate my appointment request the very next day. Dropped the car off in the morning and picked it up by 4pm. Great service without having to break the bank. Would definitely be coming back for my next service.

When all other mechanics were estimating $2500-$3k to repair my car, Foreign Fix Auto completed the job for $700. 2 weeks later and there are no issues to report. I will be returning to them whenever I have future car trouble.

I moved up to fishtown but still take my car and my wife’s car here. Jason and his team are great. They make time to fit you in if you call ahead with an issue and their prices are really fair. Took my truck in with a couple different error codes recently when my check engine light came on. Without running up the bill for unnecessary work they did process of elimination and found the issue. $116 fix when I was preparing myself for much more. Nice honest work, good place to take your car.

Amazing service and friendly staff. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a oil change.

My daughter hit one of those nasty pot holes which bent the aluminum rim that needed repairing immediately. I called a few places and they said no, can't help. When I spoke to the owner he said I can't promise but will do my best. Not only did you help her out immediately, he said the cars here let's do the inspection, oil change and rotate tires. His team jumped on it and am so thankful I called. He's earned my respect and will always recommended him. Thank you so much for helping my daughter...very very grateful.

The legend! One of the best mechanics in Philadelphia. I've had them work on Subaru's, BMW's and a Buick. Reasonable prices, excellent work and if you have a weird issue they'll figure it out. Much respect!
Dec 07, 2023
5/5 stars. Honest people and good price estimates. I feel relieved I finally found a mechanic I can trust and continue to give business to. Friend recommended and i will be coming back for future fixes.

Best mechanics in the world!!!

Fair price, quick and good work!

Found this spot from google reviews and the five stars were definitely accurate. Great quality service. Quick, honest and very reasonable. Also friendly staff who explain the repairs they are making with price transparency. Highly recommend!

Great place, speed, quality and price on high level, thank you!
Dec 07, 2023
Great, easy to talk to, they get things done even though they’re busy. Good prices. Nicer people. Customer service 10/10. Word of mouth about them is also great.
Dec 07, 2023
I do not advise it, after the service they did not even give a receipt, and the car is not fixed!

I found this place on NPR's Car Talk mechanic files around 2010, and have been going since. Jason's team never tries to upsell me on unnecessary work. No "engine shampoo" or "recommended transmission fluid flush", etc. If I ask them questions, I get answers that make sense without being condescending. I don't really know how their prices compare, because I don't use another shop. Five stars.

I normally don’t comment reviews twice but this place is the real deal ! They always take care of me when I need my car fixed. Trustworthy is key and Jason is honest and willing to help. Price is also reasonable. I had plenty of vehicles and dealt with a lot of good mechanics but none of them was good as Foreign Fix Auto.
Dec 07, 2023
Jason and Foreign Fix is super professional and I have never had an issue with their work. Give them a call!
Dec 07, 2023
Jason and crew done good. Replaced the front shocks etc on my 2006 SAAB within a day and at a fair price. Went back and had the back struts replaced. They had to get some parts that took overnight but the next day done in the morning. Again fair price. I was expecting just a look at the issue etc due to them being busier than usual with the long 4th of July week end but they done gone do da job! Thanks.

My wife Eileen’s friend Michelle referred her here when-she asked if she knew of a good local and reliable auto repair shop and we couldn’t be happier about finding this gem. Jason is amazing, honest, friendly and very helpful. As promised our car was done in an hour and unlike our previous experiences with the Honda dealership the price was extremely reasonable. Our car is a 2009 Honda Civic and we were afraid something would be wrong with it and costly to fix or wouldn’t pass inspection. We knew it was time for an oil change and now it’s running perfect again and passed inspection thank goodness. We will definitely be going back for any future repairs and maintenance. Will also be referring all of our family and friends there. Thank you Jason and staff for a great experience.

Went with this shop based off of all of the suggestions I got from neighbors, glad I did! Fair inspection, reasonably priced, and great service. Definitely will be back
