I have brought my 12-year old Honda Civic for a revision and a smog check. They were very honest about the work that was needed.  I had the yellow check light on and I would not have passed the smog check.  They figured out that I was not tightening the fuel tank cap hard enough instead of selling me "bogus" services.   The next day my car had  "catastrophic" oil leak that had nothing to do with the work done by them the day before. Still, they fixed the problem at no charge to me for the goodwill!  I will go to Joe's Foreign for all family cars now.  These guys are honest, courteous and prompt.

Called last minute for a smog check.  They took me right away, were prompt, friendly, and efficient!  I will be back for my other smogs here no doubt!

Highly recommended. I've brought my decade-old VW twice, after suspecting that some of the major local dealership shops are too enthusiastic in finding things to fix and charge me for -- every time I bring a car in I leave with a $1,000 bill.So I took it to Joe's. Both times I brought the car there, the check engine light had come on. The first time they diagnosed the problem and fixed it at what I thought was a very reasonable cost. The second time they spent a lot of time investigating it but couldn't duplicate the problem and couldn't find any problem components. The charge for that was for an hour of labor. For another problem, they could have replaced an entire subsystem but instead identified the smallest component that could be fixed and the charge was minimal.I trust these guys, not something I can say about too many other shops I've been too.

Fast, efficient service.  Nice, knowledgable staff.   I took my beloved S2000 here to have the smog check done and my axel nuts replaced.  I am VERY picky with my car and I will trash talk any place that even touches my car the wrong way.  This is not one of those places.  The exact opposite actually. They know what they're doing, they have great customer service and they actually finished working on my car a little ahead of time.  When the heck does that ever happen?!

I have a 1969 Triumph GT6.  I have been restoring it for a couple of years, working with various supposed Triumph and British sports car experts.  Joe's Foreign Automotive is the first one that I have found that quickly identifies the issue, makes the repairs in a reasonable amount of time and at a reasonable price, and actually takes the time to explain what they did and why.  I wish that I had discovered them a long time ago.  My car would have been running better sooner and probably for a lot less money.

As good as it gets.  Had my dead car towed here on the recommendation of AAA, so arrived with no appointment.  They found the problem on my 40 year old MG and had it fixed quickly at a very fair price.  They are honest, know what they are doing and are a good value-- what more could you ask for?  I'll be back.
