Foreign Auto Works - Honda Odyssey 2016 - Auto Repair Near Me - Visalia, California

Was so great, had took good care of my car and made me feel comfortable being back on the road! I was traveling and needed to get back home safe. Prices were also reasonable. Highly recommend ^-^ read more

Excellent diagnostics and service. Friendly, no nonsense, good value even recommended another shop when appropriate!

They were so nice and honest! Their prices are very fair and we will be taking our car there again!

Honest, communicative, and trustworthy. I've been to other places that try to convince me I need something worked in in my car that would cost me $1,000+. I know that when I come here, it's not about taking my money but about having a satisfied return customer. read more

I took my Honda Civic here because I received a referral from someone saying that they do great work on Hondas. Overall my experience was great- the owner was responsive, price was fair, the service was done on time (per expected time frame). I will continue to take my car in here for services. read more

I've been taking my cars to Foreign Auto Works for years, and have never been disappointed. Mark is the greatest! I always feel that he is doing everything he can to help me, never to take advantage of me. I highly recommend Mark and his shop. read more

Disclaimer. I posted on google as well. Mark is so good that I want to give him credit wherever I can. There are mechanics and then there are specialists. If you want your toyota, honda, acura, or lexus running like the fine piece of engineering that it is, then you need to take it to a specialist. Mark and his shop are the place to go. Since they work only on limited makes of cars, they know their stuff. I have found Mark to be a truly honest and personable guy and trust him fully when I take my truck to his shop. I am very grateful to the friends that sent me to him. My only concern and fear is that someday I will have to move and be away from such a great mechanic and person. Every time I visit he asks about my family and how things are in my town. He is that kind of guy. When you visit, give Shadow (the dog) some loving scratches. read more

I found Foreign Auto Works by looking up the Yelp reviews for mechanics in Visalia. Mark was able to quickly diagnose and fix the oil leak in my Lexus RX300. He also did a tuneup and the car is running smoothly. I was lucky to find such an expert mechanic to fix my car in Visalia who is honest and fair. read more

very rude and hung up on us when trying to ask if he would even just work on our older car.

Mark and Pete at Foreign Auto works are the best mechanics in Visalia. I've been taking my cars here for 20 years and have always been satisfied and never been been disappointed. They only work on Toyota and Honda and related models. I literally purchased my Toyota Camry because I knew Foreign Auto Works could maintain it for me. Besides being expert mechanics, Mark and Pete are honest, kind and fair. Five stars really isn't enough, so consider it 5 stars plus! If you own a Toyota or Honda in Visalia, there's simply no question about it: Foreign Auto Works is the place to go. read more

My car didn't start and I had to get it towed. I am not from here so I didn't know where to go. I saw this shop and it had great reviews. So I called, the owner answered and he was so nice. He took care of my car right away. I didn't have to wait long and he seemed so honest. This place is genuinely a wonderful place to go. It will be my go to shop in the future. read more

I brought my car into Mark's shop for a evap system leak repair. I had already used a code reader so I knew what the problem was. I researched online and found that the repairs should be around 100$ and at the very most 200$ even if BOTH valves are leaking. Mark was not friendly but quoted me at 95$ for the repair which I thought was reasonable. FOUR days later he finished the repairs and I was charged 330$! He explained it was so much because he had to replace my gas cap with a Honda gas cap (I couldn't find a Honda gas cap online for more than 35$). I feel like I got ripped off. I noticed a pro Trump sticker in his garage and my car has a Bernie bumper sticker... coincidence? I will never go to Mark again and Im warning my friends and coworkers about Foreign Auto. I don't make a lot and have a family of four, 330$ is devastating for us. Shame on Mark. read more

We have been loyal customers at Foreign Auto Works since we bought the first Toyota Camry to arrive in Visalia in 1983. When that car wore out, we replaced it with an Avalon. He took care of it until we sold it with well over 200,000 miles on it. Now that the warranty has run out on our new Prius, it is under his care. He also cares of my husband's Ridgeline truck. He is open and honest in all his dealings with us and tells us what must be done now and what can wait. I totally trust his opinion and he always tells me if there is a work-around or alternative. I have recommended him to friends of ours and they have been equally happy with his work. You will be happy with his shop, too. read more

I have been with this mechanic for at least 15 years, and I can't sing his praises enough. His work is excellent, it's timely and it's customer-friendly. He was initially referred to me by a close friend who insisted he was the best mechanic in town, and honest. Both qualities are important to me, and I've been pleased in both respects. If you are trying to find an ace mechanic who will do a great job at a fair price, Mark is the guy. A last note: I also like that he has a big picture when looking at my car and tracks issues that he sees developing, with a clear eye to what needs to be done, what could be done and what has to be done. I like that he talks to the customer and explains his recommendations. read more

My parents (in their 80's) have been going to Foreign Auto for many years. I recently took their van into Mark's. I was very pleased that Mark checked over the vehicle and recommended a small amount of work. He did not suggest unnecessary repairs. I feel that he did good work and charged a fair price. In addition, Mark went above and beyond and gave me a ride to his shop so that I could pick up the van in the afternoon. read more

I hate getting auto work done because of the many bad experiences I've had in the past. Let me just say, as someone who just moved to the Central Valley, Mark is incredibly professional, nice and his prices are affordable. My front and back breaks/rotors for my Acura TSX needed to be repaired due to normal wear and tear. I called his shop because I saw his reviews on yelp, also I wanted a shop that knows Honda/Acura. Mark got me into his shop bright and early at 730am. I originally planned to take a lyft/Uber to work and then he offered to drop me off. I was taken aback by the offer and it truly made my day. Not only did he drop me off but he also picked me up! Small acts of kindness go a very long way, especially during a time when it feels like people seem to be solely focused on themselves. Based on this service experience, I have already referred him to people in the office. Thank you again Mark, it was a pleasure to meet you and if I need to get any more work done on the car, you will be the first shop I'll call. read more

I do not write recommendation on the Internet, In fact this is my first. But I have to. I have relied on Mark as my mechanic for some 30 years. He has maintained my cars, answered all my questions and even chauffeured me when necessary. He and his talented mechanic Pete, are what customer service is all about. read more

Highly Recommend. Mark completely replaced may failed air conditioning. It is working better than the original. Appreciated that he used Honda parts and not after market parts. read more

Mark and his shop have been so helpful in keeping our Toyota and Honda cars and trucks in top shape. He is always looking out for our safety and best interests. I can really trust him. read more

We've been going to Mark for over 20 years and I absolutely trust him and the work they do there. We specifically don't buy cars that Mark doesn't work on. (my daughter was partial to Subarus...nope! Talked her into getting a Toyota instead). The peace of mind knowing that there is someone who can fix anything that comes along is priceless. Also the peace of mind knowing that you are putting your kids into a vehicle that will run reliably and safely. If you own a make of vehicle that they work on, then take it to Mark at Foreign Auto Works. They are the best. Thank you, Mark! read more

I was introduced to Mark by an Auto buff friend - He has maintained my Toyota products through my post divorce Junker cars, my fresh off the lot Camari and now my Lexus - When Foreign Auto Works fixes my car I KNOW there will be NO PROBLEM...Thank you both for your attention to detail and your outstanding business ethics!
