Had a great first experience here for maintenance on my old camry. Ryan gave me a really great quote for the work and got it done in a timely fashion. Nice to not feel like you're getting hustled for repairs. Would def recommend checking them out. Will be back for sure. Thanks!

Ryan has been wonderful to work with over the past years. He has managed to accommodate me for repairs on short notice. He is always professional and polite. Great work, Ryan and Edgar. Much appreciated.

The best car shop in all of Seattle. My parents have been coming here since the 90's, and I have been coming here for the last decade or so. Ryan is amazing and so is his team. I usually call other shops for quotes, just to see how much of a better deal I am getting at Foreign Car Workshop. There is no other shop I trust more for any issues with my car.

I have been coming here through 3 cars over the years. Ryan and his crew are so friendly and really helpful especially when you are on a budget! Not once have I been upsold a service! Everytime I walk out feeling more knowledgeable. All the techs always tell me about things I should possibly need to repair in 6 months and have gotten excellent referrals to other experts when necessary. This place is the best!Services: Transmission

We've used Foreign car for 35 years (starting when Ryan's dad Perry ran it), have recommended to every West Seattle friend that I have (and a few outside West Seattle), and have nothing but total gratitude. Even for routine maintenance like oil changes, I always take it to them because I know they'll look my car over and give me an honest sense of if there's anything else that's needed. And they won't promote service that isn't needed.We've used them for everything over the years--routine maintenance, inspection when we're buying new used cars, specific problems when they come up. They can do pretty much anything on any car, except core charging and engine systems on electrics, which I hope they'll be adding. Recently i took our 2011 Nissan Leaf to Burien Nissan for the latter, who gave an outrageous price for a charging problem which High Road in Ballard fixed for a third of the cost. They also also "suggested" $1100 of other repairs, half of which Foreign Car said were completely unnecessary, and the rest of which they did for $300. Can't tell you what a gift it is to have a repair shop you totally trust, and that's true in the case of Foreign Car.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement

I’ve been taking my now-20-year-old BMW to Foreign Car Workshop for several years now. Every time, the service has been above and beyond. They do a great job of explaining exactly what’s going on with the car and the nature of the repairs. They work fast yet don’t sacrifice quality. Recently I needed a bulb replaced in my headlight but couldn’t manage it myself. I brought the bulb to the shop and they changed it out in 10 minutes in the parking lot. Didn’t even charge for it!I can’t recommend Foreign Car Workshop enough.

Ryan is a Straight shooter and a helpful individual. In the last seven years I have no complaints and recommend this place to all my friends who need auto work. And now I highly recommend it to all of you!

It's so nice to have a business you can trust and rely upon- especially when it comes to mechanics. Ryan is one of the most upstanding owners I've dealt with and I cannot say enough about his work. Recently, I had a door on my old van go off the rails, to where it couldn't close. It came at the worst time - just prior to their closing. Ryan said to bring it by and they got to work on it right away and got it to where I didn't have to worry about anyone or anything breaking in. This is one example of many in which I felt he went over-the-top to not only fix, but actually help. They've kept my cars running for the past decade. I cannot say enough praise for this business and their work.Services: Oil change

Big thanks to Ryan and the crew at Foreign Car Workshop! I have a Fiat 500e, and the only official shop is in Kirkland... and incredibly overpriced! My car has a fuse that keeps blowing, and they troubleshooted it several times, but ultimately have determined it's some sort of design flaw that will keep happening. So today, they replaced the blown fuse (again) at no charge and showed me how to replace it myself in the future. BEST service and fair prices! THANK YOU!!

I brought my car in for an oil change and asked Ryan at the time of sign in if he could check an additional issue I was having with my front suspension (knocking/clunking). I came back to pick up my car with the oil changed and no more suspension noise! I was told there were some loose bolts on my sway bar links that he was nice enough to take care of. I walked out of the shop with an oil change and no suspension noise for less than what another shop had charged me a couple months ago for just the oil change! I would highly recommend coming this shop for your mechanical needs! Perfect location, price, customer service and more!Service: Oil change
