Foreign Auto Services: Professional Staff, but Be Wary of the Diagnostic Recommendations I wanted to share my experiences with Foreign Auto Services, which were a mixed bag. Overall, the staff members are genuinely kind, professional, and knowledgeable, making the initial interaction pleasant. My first visit started with a great Groupon deal for an oil change that included a complimentary full diagnostic check. This is where the "warning" comes in for future customers: the $69 oil change quickly turned into a list of "required" fixes totaling thousands of dollars. While I appreciate thoroughness, this felt very much like a "honeypot" situation, as the initial low price led to aggressive and expensive upselling. (And, as expected, you cannot use the initial deal price for a repeat visit.) My second experience involved a safety inspection. Again, I was immediately presented with a substantial list of mandatory fixes with a high price tag. I chose not to proceed and took my vehicle to a different, independent shop. That second shop completed the inspection and confirmed the necessary fixes at a significantly lower cost, confirming my suspicion that Foreign Auto Services' primary focus is generating large repair orders. In summary: If you go here, expect professional service and kind staff. However, please exercise caution regarding any large repair quotes you receive from their diagnostic checks. It is highly recommended that you take their list of recommendations to another mechanic for a second opinion before committing to any major repairs.
