They're anything but fast and don't seem to like honoring warranties. I got my timing chain and head gasket fixed there, which took them like two weeks. They assured me that because I'd spent so much money on it that they'd take care of any issues that came up.
A few months later my engine started making a death rattle. I called to see if they'd check if it was related to the work they'd done. The mechanic on the phone sounded annoyed and scheduled me a week out.
When I brought it in, they had my truck all day and never called me. When I finally called, they said their mechanic they wanted to

2012 Passat.. Stranded in Santa Fe - No power. While we were traveling from SoCal, with our new puppy, we had stopped for some lunch and sights in Santa Fe when the 2012 VW Passat had lost all power. We were truly blessed to be within a mile of Jim's shop FAST Foreign. Jim and his staff were amazing, friendly, and so helpful. Have never witnessed a more customer focused and honestly just genuinely friendly automotive shop in my 58 years. Jim and his team not only diagnosed, found an alternator to have delivered from Albuquerque, installed it and had the car ready to go in less than 5 hours. .

This place deserves 10 stars!! We came in 2 days before leaving town, needing a major transmission repair before leaving on a long road trip. Another shop in town told me it would be two weeks or more. Jim and his crew worked hard to pull off an absolute miracle, getting my van back in a record amount of time for all the work that needed to be done!! They are knowledgeable and friendly and I would not go anywhere else.

My dad goes to them and so do I! They have literally saved my life. They are honest, helpful and I trust them. I always feel like I pay a fair price and know what I am paying for. I highly recommend visiting the Jims!

Been going to here for a while and have always received spectacular (not to mention quick) service at reasonable prices. I love the fact that I can bring in my own parts and they're good with that. My Audi s5 thanks them as well. Good local people to do business with. Thanks again guys!
