Foreign Auto Union

You and your car will be in good hands at Foreign Auto Union. They are trustworthy, reliable, and do quality work. I’ve been bringing my Acura RDX there for about 3 years.
Here’s an example: two days ago one of my windshield wipers just stopped working. I called Foreign Auto to make an appointment to have it fixed. The person I spoke with told me that it might be something I could easily fix myself, by tightening a screw, and he explained to me how to go about doing so. He also told me that if I had any trouble, or if that didn’t work, to come by and he would look at it. Not being very mechanical, I opted for the latter. The mechanic — in a blizzard, mid you! — came out and tightened the screw (it was a little more involved than it sounds) and he didn’t charge me, nor would he accept any payment.

I agree with the positive review. A different mechanic informed me that my front wheel bearings needed to be replaced. I took my car to Foreign Auto and the owner placed the car on a lift, drove it around the block and drove it on the highway and determined that the bearings did not need to be replaced. And he didn’t even charge me one dime! Unlike Hometown Garage in Burlington who will charge you for driving your car down the short road even if you decide to have the work done at their shop.

These guys are fantastic. I went here on the recommendation of a family member after being told by Toyota of Woburn that my 06 Corolla with 61,000 miles required more than $ 500 worth of service to address a maintenance light. Or, as an alternative, they recommended their $ 560 60k mile service package. Right. Money’s tight and this sounded kind of fishy, so I did my due diligence and took these recommendations to Foreign Auto. Not only did their diagnostic pick up no sign that I needed a new intake manifold gasket as Woburn had told me (for $ 350, no less), they were willing to replace my serpentine belt for $ 15 less as well. I had the car in to them on the Friday before Columbus Day and they called me the following Tuesday morning to tell me it was ready. New belt in place, the car sounds sweeter than it has in months. Fast, efficient, cheaper, and seemingly more honest than the dealership. I will definitely be coming back here for any future maintenance issues.
