Came to this place based on our friends recommendation and one of them is a mechanic. First time we came here was for a Buyer Inspection, we were supposed to go to Jeep but they were full for the week and will cost about 4 times more so there was no question to use their service. We're happy with their service. A year and a half later, I needed to have something checked gave them a long list of things. My husband asked me to go there have it checked. Turns out most of the things in my list is fine. They gave me quotes, set expectations and all that. There were no upsell of some sorts. Pretty straightforward transaction actually, I just brought up everything I have questions about. Asked the price for the check up. Have them checked. Asked something I didn't know or understand. I brought my husband to check on everything right after. They were all spot on!! read more

First called to make an appointment. Arrived early, service writer did not have me down for any service. waited 1/2 a day for car to be check out. Made a second appointment to have vehicle service from earlier recommendations. Arrived early. Service writer once again did not schedule me. Long story short, the service was poor and over priced. In addition, they were not honest on the valet service. Never return. PS. Owner was very nice, but his front service people needs training. read more

Still bringing my cars here years later. why? because i know it will be done right and on time, every time. I've tried other shops and i've found sockets under the hood, fluid caps left off, a battery brush, grease on the floor mats, rags on the fender under the hood and even an oil change that didn't happen (it was still covered in dirty grim, untouched). in short.... i have confidence in my vehicles because i know they're in good mechanical condition. read more

Could you ever imagine a battery replacement on an old Mini Cooper costing $400+? Me neither! We are from out of state looking for a good, honest, and fairly priced mechanic for regular service intervals and even some more costly repairs in the future. If FA is charging $400 for a battery replacement I don't think this is the right place to have more serious work done. Bummer! read more

Kevin always does a great job with my car and the rest of the team are very kind and helpful and do not try to upsell me anything!

I had a disappointing experience with FA. I had my Mazda Miata towed there and they said they would look at it. They were quick to call me back. They told me I needed a new fuel pump, rotors and break pads which would cost $2,200 to fix. Insulted by their estimate, I had it towed home. I bought a full fuel pump kit off Amazon for $25 and will take an hour out of my weekend to install it. I will also spend $350 to get the rotors and pads. This will take me 3 hours to install. Mechanics should be paid well for their time but this quote was laughable. Do some research before you get fleeced! read more

Have an old Lincoln that needed lots of work. Called and scheduled an appointment and when I got there they asked what exactly I wanted done. Super understanding as I know nothing about cars! God the job done in a timely manner (got my car back the same day)! read more

I have been taking my Subaru to Chuck at foreign accents for years! I would not trust my Subaru to anyone else! The staff is very welcoming and accommodating. I never feel pressured to buy something that is not needed. The staff is very honest- I had a dealer tell me I needed new breaks but when I took it to Chuck I was told they are still in good condition and had several more months on them. Bottom line- if you have a Subaru or any foreign car bring it here for service! read more

the establishment was very unprofessional the men at the front desk are very disrespectful and I told it was a waste of time to look at my vehicle I really feel like they don't want black business at their establishment I would never do back or give them any more of my money time or business read more

Just had my first service with Foreign Accents on June 5th. They were very friendly and made a point of introducing me to Tom, the mechanic who serviced my car. Jennifer, the service rep, seemed very knowledgeable. Although they suggested a few additional services, there was no undue pressure. Foreign Accents is much larger than it seems from the front view on West Market. They also provided free rides home and back to the garage to pick up my car. read more

I spent over 6000 to install a new engine and fix air-conditioning. I had my vehicle towed back 3 times, to fix it, they charged me each time for the same issue, which wasn't occuring before the new engine. After the 4th time the vehicle wouldn't start I took to my local mechanic who fixed it for good. In addition, my air conditioner still doesn't work. read more

Foreign Accents just did something that I thought was unthinkable in car repair world -- provided service for free! We took our car in after experiencing a death rattle that got worse and worse until we could no longer ignore it. As with many car issues, we mentally prepared ourselves for the worst -- would we walk out with a bill for $1,000? $500? Who knows? When my husband called for an update, they let us know that the lug nuts on the back driver's side tire were unbelievably loose and they just needed to be tightened. They let us know they would just charge us for the labor. We let out a sigh of relief -- the mystery cost ended up being better than expected -- maybe $150? But then when we arrived to pick up the car, they let us know no need to even pay labor. This was an unexpectedly gracious offer, and one certainly not expected from a car repair shop. They have definitely earned our return business. read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! If you have a vintage European car, this is the place for you. They actually have a resident BRITISH car mechanic on staff for all your Jag, MG, Rover, Triumph and Austin Healey needs. Hell, if you have a Jensen, he can work on that too! I sent a friend of mine up there first, he was our guinea pig. He had a Porsche Boxster that smoked so much on start-up, the EPA always came in to name the parking lot a Superfund Site. All of the Porsche mechanics in the area suggested a complete engine rebuild... this includes the Porsche DEALER in town. When we got to Foreign Accents, the Porsche specialist came out and listened to the engine for, oh, like 5 seconds and said it was the oil return valve (at least I think he said valve). He fixed it that day and viola, no smoke... And I mean no smoke. The only way you could tell the car was running was by the sound of the engine. At this point, I built up the courage to let them work on my Triumph. I drove the car there and gave them a LAUNDRY LIST of stuff to do - three pages worth of stuff I couldn't do on my own or didn't have the time to do. They got it all done in less than a week and that included ordering parts. So then I let them tackle the air conditioning rebuild. Now the thing gets so cold on the inside during the summer, I can't run it full blast. Perfect work. If you go there, you will see a car lot packed with car marques from all over the world. From Ferrari's to Saabs and everything in between. They are that good and that busy. read more

Price gouge. Lies about repair cost. Charged me over $2,000 for something the dealership said they would do for $650. I told them I didn't want to spend over 1,000. They told me it would be around 800. Also kept putting me off. Told me "it will be ready next week" for over 3 months. Charged me $160 for a battery valued 100 when I didn't even need a new battery. All the good reviews are fake from them. Only go to them if you are ready to spend 4 times more than what the dealership would charge read more

Illegal - I took my 1970 VW bus in for some help in an engine swap that I started. They finished the job and were helpful in that regard. I did not know it until years later when checking a police report but they filed a police report that my vehicle was broken into and they must have collected and kept their insurance money. The police report states my car was broken into and the radio taken. There was no radio in the vehicle at the time. Details of this were never mentioned to me. read more

Super service! Trustworthy and efficient . I trust no one else with our Lexus. They always go the extra mile to make sure I'm happy. Mike I read more

Fast, efficient, Friendly. My first experience with Foreign Accents. I'll continue to use them for my service needs, for all 3 family cars. Wi-Fi available as well as a small lounge area. They are always willing to take you to work and pick you back up when your car is done. read more

They bait you with low estimate then they try to charge you much more than their own original estimate. They do not honor their own warranty for their work either. When you bring the car back for the same problem, they give you another reason for the problem and charge diagnostic if you refused to pay for additional work needed. read more

Great people, service, prices and skill (unlike what I received at the local Subaru dealership). I'll use Foreign Accents for my Subaru service from now on! read more

Seriously one of the best places to get your car looked at and fixed. They are extremely knowledgeable, fair, and very reasonable price wise. They have a nice sitting area with couches, chairs, desks and WiFi not to mention beverages and Keurig coffee! They are an all around auto shop, with great customer service and A+ service. read more

Rip off. Ordered extra items without consulting me. Kept car for 5 days without updating me on progress. $1300 later they finally figured out two wires were crossed by someone who I bought the car from. Honestly think they took advantage of me because I'm a girl. Poor taste. Worse karma!! 1973 280SL. read more

I hate having to deal with mechanics. As a woman you get talked down to or they attempt to strong arm you into repairs you dont need so when I find somewhere that doesnt leave a bad taste in my mouth I stick with them. Foreign Accents is such a place. I went in for brake work and not only did they give me a fair quote but they took me back to show me the issue and compared the bad brakes with new ones so I could see the difference. They even gave me a ride home while they worked on my vehicle. read more

It feels good to find a shop that is open, honest, does good work and prices fairly. I've been using FA for a several years to perform scheduled (and some unscheduled) maintenance on my 2003 Boxster. Never an issue and always fair and helpful. Recently, our 1997 maxima needed front axles replaced. Unfortunately, the replacement parts that come from overseas do not work as advertised. The guys at FA tried 3 different manufacturers and installed and reinstalled the axles each time until it appears we finally found a winner. During the whole 4 month fiasco, FA was professional, friendly, easy to work with and really showed themselves as a top notch partner. Stuff happens and it's a good business that works to recover after an issue as even harder than they do on the first try. In my book they certainly deserve of a 5 star rating. The repair business is a challenge and there should be extra credit awarded to a shopithat lives to their commitments, supports repeat cusotmers and cuts a break on service and cost once in a while like Foreign Accents does. read more

Very pricey , was told my alfa needed work that did not need tobe done at the time as i got second opinion. Beter off joining a car club and getting a mechanic to work on your alfa or fiat/porsche. read more

Used them for over 11 years. Always great service and great prices. Scott and Randy run a great business.

Randy renewed my faith in people as he fixed my daughter's broken dash and power steering fluid at no further cost to us. We had taken her Passat to them on several occasions and were not pleased with their customer service, but after talking to Randy, the owner, he made it right and did the repairs for free. A big thank you to Randy! read more

Where do I begin? If I could give this shop zero stars I would! After many years of fatefully going to Foreign Accents for any and all car repairs and not encountering any major issues, my luck had finally run out! In January, my car was having some idling/vibration issues due to worn out engine mounts. I brought my car in to have the engine mounts replaced and not even a few hours later, was called with amazing news that I had a "laundry list" of issues with my car!? I was informed that I had a few CEL codes (which was news to me as I did not see any lights on the dashboard) and that my total repair work was going to be around $2,500!!!? I decided to go ahead and proceed with the work seeing how my inspection was almost due and the car wouldn't pass inspection with the CEL light on. Upon getting my car out of the shop, not even a month later, my car starts having idling issues again, but this time, even more severe than the first time. My car started having misfire codes and running too lean and would almost stall at complete stops. I informed the shop of what was going on and was told to bring the vehicle back for further inspection and to leave it for a few days. At this point, I am already livid as I have spent way more than I wanted to and my cars' drivability is worse than the first time I brought it in. Upon the shops "thorough" inspection, they informed me that I had a few more CEL codes and that I had bad spark plugs and a misfire on cylinder 2 and that the new slew of charges would be around $700!!? I reluctantly paid this bill, and thought that my troubles were finally over and that I could drive off into the sunset! Boy was I wrong! Not even 3 days later, I was driving home and my coolant light came on. I pulled over to check the coolant level and it was BONE DRY!!? Funny how just 3 days prior, Foreign Accents performed a complimentary vehicle inspection and everything checked out fine. Hmmmm, interesting!! Maybe I just have the worst luck in the world or maybe, just maybe, Foreign Accents failed to perform a thorough inspection as listed on the repair bill. By this point, I have already spent over $3,000, missed many days of work due to no vehicle (Foreign Accents doesn't do loaner vehicles due to COVID) and I wasn't going to pay for Uber, Taxi, etc. and was having severe anxiety attacks due to stress. Not one time in our correspondence did Foreign Accents try to make things right by correcting the issues or owning up to any mistakes possibly made by the mechanic. All that was said is that "You have an older vehicle that is repair and maintenance heavy" and that "Our mechanics do thorough quality work". I think for anyone to take their vehicle to a "Professional" shop that prides themselves on customer satisfaction and guarantees the job done right the first time, would be pissed at the quality of work performed when each time they get their vehicle back, it is running worse than before it was brought in!!!??? How does that make sense? Why would anyone want to pay that kind of money, just to get the car back and driving worse? All I can say is, Foreign Accents can take my money and go on a little vacation or give their family a good meal or two, because it will be the last of my money ever going to that business!!!!! I know they are probably going to read this and say "Ah, who cares, it's only one customer", but word of mouth is much stronger than anything and I can bet you, that anyone who asks me about car repair shops around here, I will definitely inform them of the horrible experience I had and to tell them to stay away from Foreign Accents like the plague! Repair shops need to own up to their mistakes and not make the customer feel like it is their fault. I feel like my car was sabotaged just so they could get more business from me, or get me to sell my car to them so they could turn around and fix the issues and make a profit, which isn't right and if I can prevent this from happening to someone else, then that is my duty of this review! read more

The service bay is clean and orderly. The staff is excellent. Remember, buyer beware. Ask for old parts back and, if you can, get a second opinion for any non-routine service/repairs. read more

When I first moved to Greensboro in 2004, I had some really bad experiences with the local Nissan dealership - overcharging, unneeded work, etc. When I started a new job in 2007, my new boss was a German car fanatic who restored BMWs in his spare time. I asked him to recommend a good repair shop and he told me he wouldn't go anywhere else but Foreign Accents. Almost 10 years later, I've never had a bad experience there - my wife, my mom and most of my co-workers take there cars there and I've never heard a single complaint. The work is top-notch, the prices are fair and they always come through. Really honest people who do a great job. read more

Been treated with nothing but respect during my visits here. Stopped by a few months ago to look at a Volvo V70, which was unfortunately sold the same day I returned to purchase it. Test drove a V50 recently, and - while I just purchased another vehicle from another dealership - I plan to return to purchase one of their vintage VW vans. Everything on their lot is is in pristine shape and you can tell the owner and his employees really CARE about what they do. I would not not hesitate to recommend anyone to stop by and at least consider their inventory and capabilities based on the quality of service provided. read more

One of the best places in Greensboro to have your foreign car serviced. Great service, price, and incredible knowledge.

Do not use this company for your Auto Repair!! They took total advantage of me . After their advisement to cancel my ins policy, I suddenly find myself with a rear suspension problem that needs major repair. As a single mom, clueless about the mechanics of cars, they do the work. I was left with a hefty $1300.00 bill.They used parts AR2596 (rear springs) and charged me $473 for a part that retails at $374 then over and above that, charged me $525 in labor for a repair that takes an hour and a half to do! I recently approached a local dealership who mentioned the massive overcharging( I was also charged $105 for diagnostics which most courteous repair places waive if you do the work through them). It saddens me in this day and time that there are still business out to gouge the consumers. I will tell everyone I know not to use them. read more

I have dealt with Foreign Accents for about three years. Each and every time I have experienced an issue with my vehicle they have been extremely patient and informative when dealing with all the details. I feel that I have been treated fairly and with respect each and every time. This past week was no exception. My poor car is on "her" final legs and the guys here actually told me that it was time to invest in another vehicle and to stop putting money into a vehicle that would continue to cause me problems and that the problems would only become more indepth and expensive. Okay....so these are honest guys. I will begin the sad search for a new vehicle next week, with a warranty. Thank you to everyone at Foreign Accents for being so awesome and honest. read more

They do great work but if you are the average person you can not afford it and you do not want to listen to how self centered everyone if you drive in with a vw since it is not an audi they decide hey they are not that great so lets look down on them... read more

This place totally screwed me. I bought a used car off of their lot from James 2 years ago for $3000 with James assuring me that "everything about to go wrong with the car has been fixed" and that I need not worry. In the two years that I've owned it I've paid for $5000 worth of repairs and was just quoted another $1500 in repairs for things including the failure of all 3 engine mounts...meaning that at this point my engine is sitting on the frame of the car. In fact, this was a shuttle car belonging to Foreign Accents previous to my buying it, meaning the place had an intimate knowledge of this 2-ton piece of shit. Currently the car doesn't accelerate properly and is incredibly dangerous to drive. Needless to say I'm shopping around for something new. Thank you Foreign Accents for a two-year long $8000 dollar life-threatening headache! I'd be happy to sell it back to you and you'd be getting a deal, considering how many new parts it now has. read more

Very rude and dishonest group of people. I was quoted $50 for a quick fix, 15 minutes later they came up with a bill for $150 saying they broke their tool. What does that have to do with me, if their mechanic was incompetent... Anyways after 30 minutes of arguing back and forth, they threatened me and charged me full $150. I leave home completely dissatisfied and two days later i realized that they did not put one of the parts on my shock. I take it back again to the shop, asking to fix their mistake, but the owner and shop manager told me, and assured me that the mechanic did everything he could and that when i left everything is intact. I am not a magician and can't take that part of with a blink of the eye, it requires a Mercedes specialty tool. Later on i went to the Mercedes Benz Dealership and Shop and got id fixed, and was charger way less than the "Foreign Accents" has charged me and never fixed the part. My advice is stay away from this shop, as I've heard horror stories from most of my friends that are in Car Business. I will never work with them again nor would i recommend them to anyone! Stay away and be careful guys! read more
