All in all, I highly recommend if you have car troubles.

They also could have easily had me replace some parts I thought might be bad for over $1500, but they said I could probably wait a while, so I only ended up paying them $30 for a separate inspection. Not upselling customers on stuff they don't need is a fine quality in a mechanic, so I felt like it earned a positive review!

They quoted me at $100 less, and 2 hours later when I paid the bill, it was less than the original quote! Save yourself the BS, and go here first.

I cannot recommend Foreign Affairs based on my experience…read more I brought my Volvo in for an oil leak. While waiting for parts, I began noticing a clicking/grinding sensation under my left foot while turning and specifically asked them to inspect the driver's side front suspension/steering. I was told everything looked good. After the cam plug repair, my car was almost out of oil on my first trip out of town a day later. I called and was told to keep adding oil. Over the next two months I added approximately three quarts of oil, far more than the roughly one quart between oil changes I had experienced before the repair. Shortly afterward, my CV axle boot tore, throwing grease around the wheel. After several phone calls, the owner acknowledged they had missed the issue I originally asked them to inspect and replaced the boot at no charge. Unfortunately, the problems continued. I was later told another cam plug was leaking and that parts had been ordered, but I never received a follow-up call. I also felt my concerns about the persistent clicking/grinding were repeatedly dismissed, and different invoices described the complaint differently than I had reported it. I ultimately sought a second opinion. Another shop repaired the remaining cam plug leak for less than foreign affairs charges, replaced the CV axle, and was able to remove the axle without replacing the transmission after I had been told I might eventually need one because the axle was seized. What disappointed me most wasn't that my older vehicle needed repairs--it was the communication and how difficult it was to get clear answers. I also felt frustrated that my final bill exceeded the quoted amount because a coolant top-off was added without asking me first. Throughout all of this Jeff told me to "give him a break, we are overwhelmed". I left feeling less confident in my car than when I brought it in, and I cannot recommend this shop based on my experience.
