Exceptional service at an affordable price. I have taken my car here for many years. This last time the wipers were not working. All it needed was a screw tightened. The technician took care of it right away at no charge. I definitely recommend taking your car here for any repairs.

Would give A1 Foreign Auto 10 stars if I could. I was led here by the exceptional Google reviews and agree with the folks that have said that coming here is like having a family member in the business. This business is honest, fast, thorough, and professional. Have had my Tesla model Y serviced here and got fair quotes, with fast turnaround times and my car ready when they said. When I came back with a tire issue after driving over a nail, they had all my info saved and had my car back to me in under a day with the tire (under warranty) fixed completely freenot even a service charge. Brady has taken care of me each time and I felt he was truly professional, courteous, and 110% knows his stuff inside and out. If youre on the fence, dont hesitate to come here. Thoroughly honest, fast, and completely professional. This business is a treasure for Mountain View.

I think the price is not reasonable here and this is what I experienced: They don't have clear price for each fixing item and they do "inspection" first and ask you to sign a paper that charges $200 for "inspection". At this point, they don't share the price of any potential issue you want to fix. After the "inspection" you have 2 choices: spending $200 for no service or spending whatever they ask for the fix. In my case, they charged $500 for changing ignition switch, which is higher than what the dealer asked. But I cannot go to the dealer at this moment because I have to pay this store $200 for nothing (or so called "inspection") if I switch to the dealer. Btw, this store charges $140 for oil change. I would recommend Valvoline in 0.5 miles for doing a fast full synthetic oil change service at a similar or less (with coupon) price. My point is I don't think this store is as good as what is showed in their reviews (I'm suspecting the source of those reviews now). Maybe this is how the auto repair industry works but hope my experience could help you take a second thought when choosing this store and avoid being ripped off.
