I was told to call Louis Foreign Auto and I couldn't be more pleased! He didn't pull my chain and got it back in top shape for $1400. It's never fun to see the mechanic, but if you need a trustworthy guy with a strong knowledge of European cars this guys is the best!

I come from a long line of Volkswagen owners. And I'm cheap. I'm not an enthusiastic mechanic by…read moreany means, but I'm capable of going the DIY route on some things if it makes sense to me. I used to have a *great* mechanic up on Aurora, a little hungarian guy named Ors Gyeny (I just loved saying his name), but he rather inconsiderately died of a heart attack playing soccer one day, and left me (and a lot of other VW owners) bereft. I went to a shop over by U. Village for a while, attached to a gas station, because a friend worked there. But after a while, I wasn't feeling the love. The work was fine, but the price and the service weren't feeling so friendly. I guess he was more of an acquaintance after all. I tried Wagenschmitt a few times, and while his work and prices were good, he always seemed to act like my ugly little beater was unworthy of his time, and I didn't care for the attitude. So I looked up VW service on the Car Talk website (Click and Clack would never steer me wrong!) and found Louis Foreign Auto Repair. I was desperate, because my 82 VW diesel Rabbit, normally 42+ MPG city, had suddenly started dumping over half of its fuel ration on the ground. My amateur diagnosis, very reluctantly, was the injector pump. I called up Dan (owner) and asked how he felt about working on VW diesel Rabbits. "My favorite car!" he said, telling me (convincingly) that he used to own one. The injector pump needed replacing all right. Expensive part ($500-700) , not really serviceable; you take out the old one and put in another. My budget really couldn't quite handle the hit for the original estimate, but I found a non-local supplier that sold warranted rebuilds for about $400 with exchange. I asked Dan if I could supply the part, and showing remarkable flexibility for a first-time customer like me, he said he would, but couldn't guarantee the part since he was not familiar with the source. Only fair, I thought. I ordered the part and had it shipped to his shop. He fixed it, and took care of some other things that needed attention along the way. The repair bill came in at something like $200 less than I'd budgeted for after scrimping and scraping. The pump is working great, the MPG is better than it was, and when I need work on my old diesel Rabbit, I go see Dan. The shop is right across from the Roosevelt/Ravenna Safeway. A little run-down looking on the outside, small, but clean and well-organized on the inside, and after multiple visits for other minor problems (25 year old car!) I always walk away feeling like I got good work at a good price. I'm feeling the love again, and giving some back here!

I'm a descent mechanic, but there was no way I was going to be able to do this myself with my car ramps or a floor jack. I called a couple of places in Bellevue, but they could not get me in for over a week, and I got quotes like $600.00 to do the install. I almost did not call Brad's because they were in Seattle, plus they typically work on Mustang's and Corvette's. And I have a Durango. I called them, they said we will call you back , usually we don't work on Dodge. Shortly after they did call back, asked how soon I wanted it done, and said bring it on over now. It took them 1hour. Charged $300. When it was up on the lift , everything looked great, and sounds much better than my factory performance exhaust.

TLDR: Exceptional brake service and outstanding customer experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND…read more Our brakes went out 400 miles from home. We called everywhere, went everywhere. No one has the parts for our 80-series 1990 Land Cruiser. The specialty brakes shop sent us to Hazael! Initially, they told us the same thing everyone else did. We were SOL. Luckily the gentleman with the longer hair took mercy on us and he spent ALL DAY driving to shops and literally opening boxes of brake pads trying to find one that would match ours. With some grinding and true know-how, these guys got us on the road again safely! This is where experience, skill, and ingenuity are key. And that's what you need in a mechanic, no matter your car's dilemma. They did not have to go to the extreme lengths that they went to (and do same day service!). But...they did! I will forever have great reverence for the lengths they went to in order to get us back on the road. They're a real-deal shop with real-deal guys who know their stuff and give it to you straight. There was no BS, no trying to upsell, no fluff. From the bottom of my family's hearts, we thank you, Hazael's. You handled our emergency road-trip situation like true heroes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!! - Anz

I knew I needed a brake job and an oil change, but with a 200k mile Volvo, it could use more. I stopped by and spoke with David and his son. David gave me a realtime quote that was beyond fair.

I scheduled the appt, dropped my car off the day before, and got a call 10:30am the morning of my appt saying that the car was done and ready to be picked up. It came in $20 less than what was estimated. At no point did David and his team go fishing for problems (which certainly exist on a 200k mile Volvo). Super fair, honest, great price, and very nice folks. David, his son, and Jenny are incredible people and I highly recommend them.
