Mike’s Foreign Sports

I would give Mike and his team more than 5 stars if possible! I cannot remember experiencing a higher level of customer service. It was especially valuable to me that they were so knowledgeable, patient and clearly such experts– I don’t know anything about cars, but I trusted 100% that I was in good hands! All the work they performed far exceeded my expectations and the total cost was MUCH less than I anticipated! If you go anywhere else, you are crazy, this is the place for all your servicing needs! I was down to NO brakes in my car and the dealer wasn’t willing to see me for a whole week– regardless of how unsafe that was. Mike told me to bring the car in ASAP and I was all fixed-​up and ready to go within a few hours! I will be a loyal customer forever and will be recommending Mike’s Foreign Sports to everyone I know!

Mike’s is fair, fast, friendly. Why would I ever go to the dealer again for my BMW? No reason I can think of.

I was looking for a place to repair my BMW other than the dealer. I had a repair that was quoted as pretty expensive at the dealer. So I checked around, asked around and read reviews. I called Mikes and Greg answered and I explained my problem. Greg was super friendly and helpful and I felt comfortable making an appointment to bring my car in. I was greeted by Greg on arrival and he immediately drive my car in and they went to work on it. Realizing it was going to be a longer repair than we hoped, Greg offered to have someone give me a ride. He called after a couple hours and let me know it was fixed and at ½ the price quoted by the dealer! Greg also addressed my cars immediate upcoming service and needs. I am extremely happy with the service and quality of work I received at Mikes. I definitely recommend it to anyone needing German car repair. I will certainly use them for my upcoming needs.

They were awesome and saved my car from completely dying forever. Greg was very wonderful and pointed out everything they did step by step so it made it easy to follow. I will gladly be going back to them! Highly recommend :)

far exceeded my expectations.

We have been going to Mike’s since 1990s when we started buying German cars. We have never been let down and the place is very trustworthy. We never take our cars to any dealerships but only to Mike’s because the place knows what it is doing. Good job Mike and Greg!

The guys at Mike’s Foreign Sports, in particular Greg and Fernando, far exceeded my expectations. My situation is unique; as a professional Real Estate Appraiser, comparison analysis is what I’ve made a living at. Here i decided to take my car to 4+ shops for a run down as to this mysterious issue that was causing my car to stall. The guys that properly analyzed and solved the issues were Greg and Fernando
The first thing that increased my confidence level, was the trust that they were going to fix what was needed, NOTHING MORE, with the communication of future items that could be fixed given i want to be proactive. This is exactly the type of analysis that is missing with many repair shops. You really cant be sure they have diagnosed the right issues, and if they do you then have a second dilemma of not knowing if they are going to communicate things that you don’t need now, but might in the near future. Mike’s Foreign Sports does both facets AND at a reasonable price.
Highly recommended; 5 stars on communication, pricing and service!

I was traveling through the area about a month ago and my Jetta TDI wouldnt start. i called around and no place could take me for a week except these guys. As you can imagine, I was as nervous as if I walked into an empty restaurant at 7 pm. My fears were unjustified. These guys took good care of my car, consulting with me at every step to make sure we were both on the same page, and pushed themselves hard to get my car ready for me by closing time Friday. My car felt great on the way home (after a fairly major repair) and I was surprised and delighted to receive a phone call on Monday morning making sure I made it home safe. These guys didn’t give me the «women can’t talk car» attitude (more common than you think!) and they never made me feel rushed, even thought they clearly sacrificed their schedule for me. I find myself wishing they weren’t 700 miles away as I look at my future repairs to 2 aging but beloved TDIs. Thanks guys!

I have had both of my cars serviced at Mike’s Foreign Sports for over 10 years. They are honest, competitive and you never have to worry that you need to bring the car back because something was not fixed correctly the first time. They get it right! Their technicians are top notched. I will continue to use Mike’s in the future.

Honest and knowledgeable. I dealt with Greg entirely and he was great. He spent plenty of time with me reviewing the situation. I was afraid I had a serious transmission problem, but only ended up needing a service. I’m glad I went there. Free shuttle too!

I came here for a Pre-​Purchase Inspection (PPI) on a BMW 3-​Series car. They scanned the car’s computer (DME) and found fault code, «185 Function, exhaust VANOS». I was immediately concerned because I knew that the VANOS was a costly component but the mechanic reassured me that it wasn’t a problem because it was a «one-​time occurrence». He claimed that the S54 engine was very sensitive and having such a «one-​time occurrence» was perfectly normal. I figured he was the expert and I took his word for it. I assumed that this fault code was triggered a long time ago and was no longer an issue. Being excited about buying a car after months of searching, I blindly trusted his opinion and ultimately purchased the car.
As you might have guessed, the mechanic’s «one-​time» fault code assertion was wrong. After about 500 miles of ownership, the SES light appeared with the same VANOS fault code. After about 2 months of troubleshooting, I discovered that the car had a faulty VANOS actuator.
I learned from my current mechanic that there is a specific VANOS test that could have been run to discover the true nature of the original fault code. This test is simple to run and only takes about 5 mins. to complete. It is still a mystery to me why the mechanic at Mike’s Foreign didn’t run this test after he found the original VANOS fault code. Had he run the test, it probably would have saved me thousands of dollars! Just as a good doctor will order a full battery of tests if there is suspicion of a disease, a good mechanic will run all available tests when there is an indication of a problem. The fact that this shop did not take the next step is a clear red flag. Needless to say, they have lost my trust and my future business.
