I brought my Toyota Prius to Foreign Motors after the car stopped turning on. I was charged $300…read morefor diagnostics. Afterward, I learned from Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston that my issue was connected to a recall and that the repair would be covered at no charge by Toyota. When I informed Foreign Motors, I was told that my car was moved to their other location but not to worry because they had a friend at Toyota who would handle getting the recall work done once they towed the car there. Later, when I contacted Toyota directly to confirm whether my car had arrived, the owner of Foreign Motors became upset and told me I needed to trust him and that I was damaging his relationship with his contact at Toyota. This left me with the impression that they may have initially been attempting to repair the issue themselves and charge me for work that ultimately should have been covered under the recall, although I cannot say that for certain. The entire experience left me uncomfortable and concerned about transparency and communication. To be fair, they did help coordinate getting the car to Toyota, but based on my experience, I would encourage customers to independently verify recall coverage and repair details directly with the dealership before agreeing to major repair costs.

In every case the quality of their work is outstanding! Their service is spectacular! Both Julio and Stanley have a great rapport with their customers and completely handle the claim with the insurance company, rentals, etc. They are delightful...and always put the customer first...and that, in itself, is refreshing. Their shop is very clean and organized. Their prices are competitive, for sure. It is strange, but, although having a car accident is normally a downer..I look forward to my experience with Somerville Auto Center. They are very professional...and turn a bad experience into something very good. They have earned my loyalty. I give them the highest recommendation!

Stay far far away, this is THE quintessential scamming auto shop that you usually hear people…read morecomplain about, and it seems like it's no different here in the Yelp community. I'm actually astonished they're still in business. I went in for my state inspection sticker & they claimed my ~6 month old perfectly working windshield wipers needed to be replaced, otherwise they will fail the inspection. I asked the scam artist to show me what was wrong, he reached in & pulled on the wiper switch & wasted my wiper fluids to show me that absolutely nothing was wrong. They were going to charge $75 dollars to change a pair of windshield wipers that would cost no more than $10 and takes no more than 10 seconds to do, that's robbery in broad daylight, folks. I told family members about it, "...that shady ass shop next to that Chinese take out place on Main St.?" I hear someone say. Surprise surprise, turns out my dad and brother went through the same exact experience. Coincidence it is not, I reckon this happens on the daily. If you've already paid these schmucks the inspection fee but not the robbery fee, then buy a brand new pair of windshield wipers elsewhere, bring it back to this shop & change it in front of them if you have to, get a re-test & sticker, and never return.

Ok - so I am REALLY picky about who fixes my car. More picky than I am with say - who cuts my hair,…read moreor who does my nails. Explanation: I drive an old Saab convertible. I have been driving old Saabs for 10 years now and I love them. I could probably fix many of the problems better than a 'generic' (read: non european car specialist) mechanic. Most mechanics look at my car and laugh at me. Literally. A number of them have actually given me a ton of free service because they can't figure out the right thing to drain for a simple oil change (this has gotten me, among other things, a free transmission fluid service and a radiator flush). What this means is that when I need something big done to my nearly 20 year old car that I love dearly, I need to find someone who isn't going to make whatever problem worse than it is. Or send me home with a handful of new problems that I subsequently won't be able to afford to fix. Enter European Motorsport. Other than the guys back at home in CT who have been fixing my many Saabs for as long as I have been driving them, this is the first place I have been in the area that actually knows what they are doing, and won't rake you over the coals the way a dealer will. Don't get me wrong: This doesn't mean they're cheap. What this does mean is that you know they are fixing the problem you actually came in for, using quality (Saab or Bosch, usually) parts, and leaving happy instead of wondering how long its going to take you to notice that something is MAJORLY wrong that wasn't when you went in. For simple oil changes and the like, I usually head to a quickie, no appointment place (because planning ahead is NOT my forte) but for anything requiring a half a brain and actual experience with foreign cars, this is where my old Swedish friend comes. I feel much better knowing the person working on my car has actually seen one before! If you have a Saab, Volvo, BMW, or any other European car that needs some tlc, bring it here.

I recommend European Motorsport wholeheartedly.
