Foreign Car Workshop of West Seattle - Seattle (WA)

5 /5 John Steelman: The engine in my wifes BMW went out. After receiving a ridiculous price from the dealer, I put a motor request out online and received a good motor from Car Part Express out of Texas. They shipped the engine and was installed at a reasonable price. The car has been back now for two weeks with zero problems. I have a happy wife and a happy bank account. I am a huge fan of Car Part Express and Foreign Car Workshop!

5 /5 Hunter Camfield: I usually absolutely despise mechanics because they rip people off and try to up charge you for stuff that just isn’t needed while assuming you just don’t know what you are talking about, BUT… I was told about this place by my girlfriend’s family. I thought I had a water pump go out but I didn’t have the right tools to take care of it myself. Called Ryan and told him what I thought and he told me to bring it down. Ryan confirmed it was a water pump, gave me a fair estimate and had it done day of. Didn’t try to up charge me and the price was the same when I got there. It really is the simple stuff that so many places get wrong. Thanks for all the help today guys! I’ll be back if anything else goes out.

5 /5 Ayan Sinha: Top service at best price. I prefer going here over Mercedes Benz dealership which prides itself on customer service and costs way more. Great experience and cannot recommend enough!

5 /5 Sarah Malik: I came in for a simple oil change on my 2005 Acura TL a few weeks ago— my first time using this shop — and left genuinely impressed. Ryan treated the visit with care and attention far beyond what youd expect for something routine. He was kind, transparent, and clearly takes pride in his work. It’s rare to feel that looked after, even for something small. I’m really glad I found this place.

5 /5 Jenn Smith: Found orange fluid under the front end of my car and took it in to inspect for a leak, based on a friends recommendation. (They bring two vehicles here for services.) Ryan was helpful and no hassle, answered all my questions about drop-off, fees, etc., up front. Was going to leave it over night but he looked at it that day. He said it looked like the battery had recently been replaced, which he was totally right about, and that had created rust dust that mixed with water and caused the orange fluid drips. He made sure nothing appeared to be a safety issue. I was able to pick my car up that same day, no charge. Other places wanted between $175-$190 just to look at it. Ill be needing a tune-up a couple hundred miles down the road and Ill be bringing my car back here. Very communicative, honest and easy-going customer service. Update for May 2025: After hitting a speed bump, something started rattling underneath my car. Took my car to a former shop on a Saturday for a look and estimate for repairs. Was charged $71 and told I needed a new suspension and front brakes. Estimate was $2500. Waited a couple of days to get it to Foreign Car Workshop for a second opinion. Ryan got back to me quickly, no charge, and told me I needed a new upper shock mount. He got the part ordered, delivered and installed within 24 hours, and I paid what I was quoted. He also told me my brakes still have life in them. Literally saved me thousands of dollars and my ride is rattle-free. Im planning to be a permanent customer.
