Cesar & everyone on his team surpass expectations every time I bring a vehicle in for service - anything from an oil change, to brakes, to transmission work. They tell you up front whether it'll be 2-3 hours, or longer than a business day. I've brought Lexus, Acura & Toyota vehicles here for years, and every time I've felt fairly quoted & charged, and my time is not wasted. Highly recommend Cesar's Foreign Car. read more

If I could leave 6 stars I would. We have taken three of our family's cars to Cesar and have been very satisfied each time. They are well organized and all of the people in the front office are a pleasure to work with. They have gone above and beyond on a few of the repairs. Example 1 - the Audi dealer said my wife's Audi Q5 needed a valve cover gasket and a breather hose. Ceasar's determined that the valve cover gasket was fine, and that the breather had leaked a few drops of oil onto it and made it look like it was leaking. The dealership would have just gone ahead and done this pretty expensive job which wasn't needed. Example 2 - my daughter's Honda CRV was having idling issues. Cesar's determined that it was the ECU and the NOXX sensor. They sourced a less expensive computer board and got her back up in a short period of time. Before that, my daughter had taken it to a random roadside garage when the problem first started because she was nervous about it, and they had quoted her all kinds of unnecessary repairs. I'd leave Cesar's 6 stars if I could! read more

**Cesar's Foreign Car** 910 Wethersfield Ave, Hartford, CT 06114- Stay away from this place. My daughter was going to have work done on her car and all the wheels were stolen!! The owner claims absolutely no responsibility for the theft. He failed to secure the car and refuses to pay the $3.500 replacement costs. read more

See all

Best repair ever. I have had several things fixed on my car. Trust and dependability is key.

0 stars. My friend dropped off her car here overnight and all her rims for stolen. Now she has to replace them all and this place won't do anything about it. Don't go here. read more

I was told one time about the repair that were needed in the early a.m. Sounded very good to do business with. When I called later I was then told I'd have to leave the car ( earlier I was initially told "no problem bring back it back when you can & I could wait for the job to be completed ). I asked this second different employee, if loaner cars were available as advertised. He said they don't do that. Also the price changed drastically from the intial estimate. I went elsewhere for my service. read more

My BMW has caused me so many problems throughout the years before I found Cesars. They really take the time to look at the car and not just rely on what the computer reads. I hope we figure out one more outstanding issue this car has but I know they will! Thank you everyone at Cesars! read more

My car I value because it's a gift from God. He provides me transportation to achieve the things I need to and enjoy the benefits of freedom. Cesars's is trustworthy, reasonable, honest, and treat you like family. If you want someone who takes pride and doesn't try to rip you off with fantastic, excellent work go to Cesars's tell him I sent you.... Cecelia read more

This place has real parts @ a great price/ Also the crew cares about you and the car read more

This place is AMAZING! I took my 2011 BMW X3 to these guys after moving to Hartford area based on Yelp, and I am SO glad I did. Cesar and Carmella could not be nicer, and their work is amazing and above my expectations. They even give you a ride to work! I will absolutely be going back. You should go there too! read more

If you have to choose a place to get work done please choose one of the best service in town. The Owner is professional and knowledgeable when it comes to service and repair. High quality work for a very affordable price. From the service technicians to the service writer to Carmella and the owner Ceaser . Absolutely the best place that deserves 5 recognition. read more

Cesars is awesome.... had my rotors replaced and about 10 months later had a problem with them. He took my car right in and called to say the work was free and under warranty. He could have made something up and charged me but instead did the right thing. Very few good mechanics out there but I highly recommend him read more

Cesar has been repairing my cars for over 20 years. I have found him to be so good and so honest that I have literally followed him from one business to another. More than once he has saved me money by recommending action that was not to his profit. I have found his pricing to be extremely reasonable. I have referred many friends to him over the years and have never heard anything but good updates afterwards. I hope I never have to go anywhere else. read more

Cesar and his team provide high quality service at great prices. I have an Audi and these guys take great care of it even though its a complicated import. Scheduling is easy and they are great at keeping customers up to speed on their repair in terms of pricing and timing. Always willing to give a ride around Hartford if you leave your car there. Even though I don't live in the city -- its worth the drive. Trust Cesar's. read more

I bring my 2007 BMW 530i in for oil change, transmission fluid change and radiator services. They broke my housing oil cap cover without letting me know. They used a wrong oil filer, and used a wrong washer for the oil bolt. As the result, the oil was leaking after the oil change. Also, they broke the indicator of my coolant reservoir. They did not let me know anything, until I have my oil change at another location. Stay away. They said they are expert in foreign car services, but they are not. They dont know how to fix BMW. read more

I'm a fellow shop owner Rick's Auto Repair LLC. Ceasar has the latest and best shop equipment. I have sent some of my customers to him when I have to much work. read more

Worse place ever! Brought my car in for a problem and they told it it has a million problems. They told other people who have the same car that it has similar problems and that's how they get you! Your car can have one problem but they make you believe that it has many problems so that you can pay more money, then your left paying a ton of money to get it fixed and when I got my car it had NO gas and they had took out my battery for no apparent reason and they were looking all over for it until they found it and now my car is so much worse then when I brought it in! Never again! Customers beware! read more

Friendly and professional ! Great customer service ! You decide...2001 Honda Accord, Front and rear brakes rotors and drums along with an oil and filter change $796.00 Another visit in December 2012. Again.. Great Service !!! ***** five stars ***** read more

Good job..!! They very nice, personable and pleasant workers. I'm happy with my car's performance after repaired...

Dan's Automotive in East Hartford sent me to Cesar's for an alignment problem (car pulling to the left). From the moment I arrived, everyone was courteous and attentive, despite the fact that they were busy. The place is clean and well organized. I was offered I ride, but I chose to wait. Although Town Fair Tire supposedly aligned my wheels (twice!), and according to them I needed a costly replacement of parts, Cesar's diagnostic showed the alignment was still way off. They adjusted it and resolved the problem. Their pricing is fair. read more

Good customer service is so hard to come by these days. I did not realize that places like Cesar's still existed. My first experience with Cesars was when I needed my headlight replaced. Carmela was welcoming and friendly as she took my information and assured me that my car would be ready by noon. I ended up picking it up later in the day. Imagine my surprise when I went to pay and she let me know that this first one was on the house! The next time I brought my car in was for an oil change. They were already closed but I explained that I had really allowed my oil to get quite low so I may have to take it elsewhere. Once again I was impressed when she asked one of the mechanics to check my levels to determine if it really could wait till the next day. She did not want me to ruin my engine. Bright and early the next day I dropped it off. This time the owner himself (Cesar I'm assuming) did my intake and was just as friendly and accommodating as Carmela was. I generally bring my car to chain establishments for general maintenance like this but Cesar's has won a new customer! read more

this place is a waste of time... all of these 5 star reviews must of been written by family members and friends cause this place is well below that...they hold your car for weeks and overcharge for low quality parts that they say are oem (not)... they switched parts from my car and then denied it... but i have my previous receipts and all related paperwork... they throw away parts and don't tell you they did until you look... they left the top on my oil reservoir open and i leaked oil for two days... but i sent it in for headlight and taillights installation... they only want to do easy fix jobs and take longer to fix than average... you can't tell if they changed the part because they don't show you the parts they removed... thye rebuild parts and charge you for a new part... they will leave your car outside unsecure and unlocked... i had a camera in my car and was appalled at what i say... must be family and friends with the 5 stars for a discount... watch out for the old horny lady at the desk distracting you from the high bill with her gross flirtations... i still have nightmares two weeks later... read more

Cesar is the best! My family has been using him for years and I drive up from New Haven with my car whenever I need anything or have a question because I trust him so much. Everyone who works there is nice and Cesar is a great guy who is honest. This place gets my highest reccomendation for sure. read more

Cesars is hands down the best for everything from a quick oil change to full-on repairs. Always honest, always reasonable, and always fast. I refer anyone I can to Cesars, and everyone is more than satisfied. Wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Very Bad Service. Rude and cocky attitude. Not responsible for improper repairing. It was that bad that I have to file a complaint to DMV office for their irresponsible behavior. read more

Honestly, I'm not sure what to think of Cesar's. As a female, it is very hard to find a trustworthy mechanic. Long story short, I had a very strong oil smell coming through the vents in my car. A coworker recommended Cesar's so I took his advice and went to an estimate first. The woman who works the front was very nice, Cesar seemed to be in a bit of a rush but that was understandable since it was close to the end of the day. After about 20 minutes of waiting, I was told I needed to replace the front and rear oil valves and that something else had to be torqued. Total cost was about $430.00...I don't know anything about cars so I didn't know if the price was decent. I decided to go to another shop to get a second opinion. The other mechanic told me something different. He said it wasn't worthwhile to replace the valves as I had other leaks coming from the engine due to the age of my car (11 years old). He said I could replace them if I wanted to but unless I could fix every single leak the oil smell might eventually come back. He recommended tightening the bolts which he said were very loose and cleaning the oil off the engine. Total cost ...$45.00. You can take a wild guess who I went with and guess what almost 2 months later NO OIL SMELL. Bottom line: although they were nice at Cesar's, I wonder if they were looking out for me or themselves. read more
