I have an older model vehicle (1987 Toyota Corolla LE) which required carburetor repair/replacement. Steve showed & explained the problem to me. The repair was done with a short turnaround (about 1 1/2 days) at a reasonable cost. Thanks for the great service!

Corey and the Maintenance team got my '17 911 Carrera squared-away within one day! All service was reasonably priced compared to the dealer in Tysons Corner (especially since my warranty recently expired) and I'm planning on making return service visits in the future. Great family-run business and I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

I went to foreign car service for years when I had my BMW. I had nothing but good experiences when utilizing their services. More reasonably priced than the BMW dealership and never had a problem with anything having to be fixed more than once.
I bought a ford a few years ago and figured i would just have it serviced at the Ford dealership since service on a Ford is substantially cheaper than a BMW. Two years ago, after taking my car into the Ford dealership for a strange sound, I was told by the service manager that I need a repair that would cost $1700. They informed me that it wouldn't be safe

Honest, reliable, timely service. My car actually drives better now, which I suppose is to be expected since they fixed a few things. What wasn't expected is that they cleaned my rims after rotating the tires. I am shamefully lazy about washing my car but in this little detail they returned the car looking much better than it did when I took it to them. And of course it runs better. BTW, I drive a domestic car, so don't let the name scare you away.

We've taken our cars to Foreign Car Service for many years. Exceptionally professional level of service and fair prices. Their approach to respect for customers reflects the integrity of a family owned business that started in Northern Virginia about 50 years ago. You won't find a better or more reliable car repair facility.

Really like these guys. They are more expensive than your average car repair shop, but definitely worth it as they do high quality work. Once you get to know them they treat you like family, and don't short change you. When they call suggesting an additional repair it doesn't feel like they are out to get me, but rather are just looking out for my best interest. Would highly recommend them if you are looking for superior car service in the Alexandria area!
