Walked in yesterday for hand brake adjustment and asked them to take a look why my left front tire is wearing out faster than the rest of the tires. As well as ABS light came up and down on bumpy roads. They quickly found my passenger side ball joint has worn out and need replacement. Really professional and offered a great total price of $850 for both replacement of ball joint with rotation and hand brake adjustment. Repair finished in a day! Thanks a lot for the work done! read more

Truly one of the best experiences I've had at an auto shop. Ricardo was so helpful and kind, and the prices were very reasonable. Will be returning in the future! read more

Fixed a flat quickly and well. Service was pleasant, and they made a suggestion regarding brake service upcoming. I would happily go back.

I got talked down from performing a costly but unnecessary diagnosis and had a detail of how my car's warning lights worked explained to me.

Awful. BE AWARE!! Outsourcing, cigarette smell Held the car for a week and didn't even reach out when it was ready to be picked up...it wasn't ready . It wasn't even worked on! Not the same management or mechanic that was prior to. read more

Ricardo rocks! My car needs repairs often and Ricardo is always quick to respond and highly communicative.

These guys are fantastic. I've brought my 2018 VW Tiguan here twice, and both times they did an excellent job. I had the alternator and battery replaced, and the price they quoted was far less than what the dealership would've charged. These are real, honest people who truly care about their work. If you drive a foreign car, or even an American one, I highly recommend bringing it to Ricardo. I'll be using Ricardo for this car and all my future ones, and I'll continue to refer them to anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic. read more

One of the best service auto repair I've ever experienced. My son is a college student in Boston and need emergency repair to his VW Jetta. Ricardo treated him with the utmost courtesy and gave him a very fair price to repair the broken suspension spring. He treated him so well, we had Ricardo install new brakes and rotors while the car was in for repairs. He priced all the repairs extremely fairly and didn't price gouge like other repair centers. He literally treated us like family. I literally can't say enough GREAT things about Ricardo and his auto repair service. PLEASE don't hesitate one bit bringing you car to Foreign Auto Clinic. We couldn't be happier and will be getting our car serviced there for now on. Two thumbs up and FIVE STAR SERVICE! read more

Very efficient and professional services. The car became noticeably smoother after their work. Impressive!

Ricardo is amazing! He fixed my ac on my BMW for a fair price. A truly honest and understanding mechanic which is hard to come by in Boston.

Wow Jose is amazing. He fixed my BMW in half the time and at a fraction of the cost compared to the dealer. He's an honest guy and it's so refreshing after spending years getting gouged by the dealer. I would give him 10 stars if I could. read more

Jose and his team truly deserve rewards. I was in a pretty big accident on the freeway due to the snowy weather this past month, and my car ended up spinning on the freeway and hitting the guard rail. When I first got there and finished talking about what needed to be done, they generously offered to drive me back home across the street! There was some insurance lag, but they were so patient and so kind. Within about a week, my car was completely done. They're not only incredibly kind, but him and his team go above and beyond. They fixed old scratches from before my accident, and Jose also was so nice enough to change my oil as well. read more

See all

Got me in for a tire repair first thing in the morning & had it fixed in 20min for a great price. Very friendly customer service & the employees seemed happy which is always a plus. read more

Really great honest people here, highly recommended. I've come a couple of times and they've been incredibly nice and helpful. The prices are very fair too. I don't know much about cars so going to a shop can be intimidating but they are so nice they make it easy. BC students, you should definitely come here! read more

I really owe this place a 5 star review. I'm writing this review after 2-3 weeks from my visit. While driving my old 2003 Honda Accord, on an intersection in small hilly road, my car broke. I incorrectly assumed that my transmission broke, and started searching places who can fix my car. I even assumed that my car is now dead forever and it's time to junk it. I go junk my cars offers like $100 or $125, or $425, the max... After calling several places, I called here. And liked it immediately. Most mechanics were not interested, not available, can't tell the quote, or just too unconcerned. Anyways, so I took the car here, they mentioned it's the axle that is broken. They fixed 2 axle on Saturday, and didn't charge too much for it, was reasonable, considering that I towed my car there. Also, fixed my A/C, light bulb... Overall, I highly recommend this place. Because of them, I'm still driving my car... This is a great mechanic shop read more

Have used Jose's services for new brakes, rotors and pads on my Acura TSX, and was really happy with the work. Price was very competitive, quality parts were used. The car brakes better than when I bought it, no shaking, very stable, no hissing sound. I have used Jose's services again to check on a battery. Very honest, reliable, good price. read more

Foreign Auto Clinic is probably the best mechanic I've ever been to. My fiancée and I started coming here last year, when my breaks went. Turns out I needed all four repaired and Jose gave me a fair and good price. Not only was the price reasonable, but he was super quick with the turn around. Ever since, I've always brought my car back, no matter how small the fix, and either Ricky or Jose have always been super helpful and quick with helping me. If and when we move, we will be so sad to not have Jose and Ricky nearby as our Mechanics! read more

YES! This place. What a cool mechanic. What a true gem. This guy does the work, at a fair price. And he does it well. He doesn't upsell or make up issues with the car. If you need a second opinion (or really your only opinion) go to Jose. read more

Any time I have brought my vehicle in, this shop has been super fair and really quick fixing any issues. Customer service is amazing and the pricing is the best in the area read more

I recently moved to the area and was skeptical about finding a local mechanic. I was referred to Jose at Foreign Auto Clinic and after having some car troubles last week, I had my car towed there. Jose was such a pleasure to deal with, he would call with updates and gave me a very reasonable price for the work I had done (I did some research to make sure). Not only was I pleased by the level of customer service but the work was also done quickly. I came back to pick up my car and saw they had even vacuumed the inside! Although my first visit there was enough to prompt a glowing yelp review, I found myself back in the shop 2 days later after my car nearly stopped running on the I90E... My SUV does not have a history of problems but apparently I needed to replace another part, unrelated to the first. Not happy about it, and can't help but be weary, but Jose was able to take care of it again within 1 day and answer any questions I had. Hopefully that is the last time I have to go back there for a while! read more

The nicest employees! So helpful and kind. Helped my friends and I pump air into our tires as we were completely clueless! Highly recommend!

I agree with the reviews about the quality of this operation, and Jose. My son used Jose based on a friends suggestion. It was July 3 about 3pm. He was on his way to Logan from CT to get his brother and then on to the cape. Instead he limped into the shop with a dead alternator and detached muffler. Jose diagnosed it and fixed it before he closed at 6pm. I'm sure he had other work to do, but he probably saw the urgency of the situation and dealt with it. Charged a fair price for the work and no upsell...we were in a tough spot and he certainly could have sold us stuff we didn't need. Honesty is the key to this business and Jose seems to be the real deal. I rarely rate anything, but he did us a real solid and he deserves the same in return. read more

Great car repair shop on Commonwealth Ave in Boston near Boston College. It is within the Sunoco gas station. Jose is the best and knows his cars; he and his crew are hard workers and get the job done efficiently and the price is always what they quote you at. He had kept my wife's VW 96 bug around until we bought a new car and is keeping my 08 Honda civic around too. The shop does oil changes too but does not do state inspection stickers. read more

Jose and his crew at Foreign Auto Clinic are friendly, helpful, honest, fast. Everything you want in an auto repair shop. I really appreciate all the amazing work they've done for me already. I would recommend this show to anyone. They will be doing all my auto work going forward. Way less expensive compared to Dealership and the quality is the same! Its a no-brainer. Thank you Jose and crew! -Ryan read more

José has a great attitude and offers good prices on jobs small and large. I've trusted his service for about a decade with several cars. It is a rare treat to find a solid and reputable auto mechanic like him. I recommend his shop located near Boston College. read more

Very friendly & knowledgable staff. Price is perfect & they treat your car well. Ask for Jose. read more

Foreign Auto Clinic - Auto Repair Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

I would absolutely recommend Jose. He's honest to a fault, prices are reasonable and he does great repairs.

I got a flat tire in my car and I called many service shops to try to find a new tire for my car. As I wanted a vey specific model and size, other shops completely turned down and refused to help me find the tire. Even though Jose didn't have my specific tire, he quickly searched around and found a great alternative, and for a better price. They got the tire within an hour of my phone call and got it replaced. Excellent service! read more

What can I say? Jose, as everyone has said, is seriously amazing. I'm new to Boston and after having car issues and taking it to a certain chain store, I was VERY disenfranchised. Fast forward a couple weeks and I need a new mechanic, I decide to take a chance with Foreign Auto and good God, was that the smartest thing I could have done. He's trustworthy, he's fair, he's a damn angel. Please don't hesitate to bring your car here, Jose is a miracle. read more

This place is great! always get in without a wait and quick friendly service. Jose couldn't be more friendly or honest. Highly recommended!

Two years later and Jose still gives me the best treatment! He and his staff keep up their professionalism and honesty; a rare find these days. read more

Jose is a master auto technician. He is amazing. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. He is really honest, and he and his team work fast. Most importantly my car is running better than ever. He explained everything on the bill clearly, and his prices are very reasonable. I just took my car in for a 30,000 mile service and he did an amazing job fixing everything. My father has been coming to Jose with all his car issues for 10 years. His car is running great too. I would recommend all my friends to Jose, and will always bring my car to Foreign Auto Clinic. Thank you so much Jose!! read more

Best mechanic I've ever dealt with. Jose is really the nicest guy! Honest and professional. This is the only place I trust to fix my car!!!

Jose was helpful, knowledgable, and honest. Service was quick and smooth. I will definitely bring my car back for maintenance and repairs in the future. read more

This was the best service I've ever received at an auto repair shop. I had two flat tires, a light out and desperately needed an oil change. Jose took care of me and my car quickly and for an extremely fair price. I would recommend to anyone in the Brighton and Boston area for sure. Hidden gem! read more

Jose is great. When my headlight went out, he had it fixed in about 10 minutes for $20.

Great service, good work - my only complaint was that I asked for a call when the service was done, and never received it. I walked back over and everything was done, I guess they just forgot. read more

Incredible service, excellent results, and honesty that is frankly rare to come by. Jose is a class act and truly a master at his craft. There are several glowing reviews already on this site regarding the excellent mechanic service a Foreign Auto Clinic - all of which I agree with completely - however, Jose also does phenomenal body work. I brought two vehicles in with body damage, an Audi and BMW. I had received quotes elsewhere in the several thousand dollar range and was told the particular paint on my vehicles would be difficult to match. Jose and his crew repaired both of my vehicles perfectly (truly flawless) and at a price that was so good I almost didn't believe him. I wholeheartedly recommend Foreign Auto Clinic on Comm Ave for both mechanical and body work. I will personally never consider another shop as long as Jose remains there. read more

Jose is a very good mechanic. I tried his shop out because of the positive reviews on yelp. He took my car in on short notice, gave me new breaks, rotors and wheel bearings for a very fair price. Called me at work to explain before he stated the work and called me at the end of the day to say my car was ready. Very good at communicating and a nice personable guy. I will definitely go back when I need service. read more

I can't say I want to go here as often as I do. But I feel so relieved to have found a mechanic that I trust. I never feel ripped off...when I compare prices with places online it is always comparable. And Jose is very accommodating with my schedule, calls when he says he will, charges what he estimates, and so on. read more
