Here’s what some of our Brighton, MA customers are saying about us:


I am only going to bring my car here from now on. Ricardo was so helpful and really took the time to try and figure out the issue with my car. Even though in the end he didn't have the right equipment/resources to resolve it, he helped me think through the next steps and was kind every step of the way. Since he couldn't fix it, he even only charged me for the part cost. Super honest and caring auto repair shop.

They were able to take me as a walk-in. They listened well, and communicated clearly throughout the repair (including it taking a bit longer than expected). The work was excellent, too.

There’s no better place. I was worried coming from vermont that I wouldn’t find a good mechanic here who’d be reasonable but Jose is better than the best up there! He’s competent of course, kind, and all trustworthy!

I went to Jose at Foreign Auto Clinic for more than three years for everything from an oil change to a broken motor mount. He is super friendly and pays attention to what's actually going on with your car, rather than patching one problem and ignoring something else. Jose is clear about the work he is doing, provides prompt service, and his prices are very fair. We recently moved away from the area and are genuinely sad that we can no longer get our car serviced at Foreign Auto Clinic. Thanks for everything, Jose!!!

A+ review for Jose and Foreign Auto Clinic. My daughter living in Boston, a great distance from Dad in Chicago had need for what we deduced was a wheel bearing replacement. She took her car to another shop that will remain nameless (rhymes with wirestone) to have the work done. Getting it back something was obviously wrong, and she took it back and was told that an ABS wire was broken as, they said, sometimes happens with this job and that they couldn't get the part right away. My daughter didn't like the treatment she was getting there and got extremely frustrated. I searched for another shop in her area and came across Foreign Auto Clinic. Jose examined the car and found that the ABS wire was not broken, and the new bearing had been installed upside down (didn't even know that was possible). The issue was corrected, and she was on her way and now running great. Price was fair, service was respectful and extremely knowledgeable. Jose now has a permanent customer.

Absolutely the best mechanic.

Amazing place. Called to make an appointment for my brakes and they fit me in first thing the next morning. Very friendly. Decent price. The thing I appreciated the most was their communication. They called me to let me know every update about what they would do to fix the car and how long it would take. Definitely will go there again in the future.

These guy very nice and professional. They did great job. The labor fee much cheaper than dealer.

I don’t usually leave reviews but I felt compelled because how appreciative I am of the service here. They got my car in immediately when my brakes failed when everywhere else I called was booking out over a week. I had it back less than a day later good as new at an exceptional price, will definitely be back here for any future needs.

Made appointment same day and Jose delivered. Grot breaks and oil change done very quickly. I would highly recommend to anyone. Great Service.

Best place very professional

I've brought my Volvo here twice and have been very happy with the results. José and the rest of the team are kind, professional, and do great work. I highly recommend them! I bring my car to them even though I live far away and have an auto shop within walking distance of my home.

Google Review


I'm so pleased with my experience here! Jose was kind to me from beginning to end. The repair was super fast, at a very reasonable rate, and high quality - like nothing ever happened! I'm happy to say this will be my auto place for as long as I'm in Boston.

I've been going to see Jose at Foreign Auto Clinic for the past several months and it has been great to have such a friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy neighborhood mechanic. Highly recommended!

Google Review


Honest mechanics with a lot of skill

Google Review


Jose and his team were great. I got into an accident on my way to NYC; my car was able to make it back just fine but it needed a lot of work. I brought it in just before the Christmas and NYE holidays but even then he gave me a quick turn around (I think it was ready before NYE but I was out of town at that point). I got the car back and you could hardly even tell I was in an accident. It drives great. I would definitely go back.

Google Review


Great service! Definitely recommend.

Google Review


These guys are actually quite honest. I brought my car in several times, and every time, they’ve only recommended to have repaired exactly what needed to be repaired; nothing extra. I continue to bring my car there, every time I need it serviced.

Google Review


I've had a very good experience for about a decade. Solid work and fair prices, a combination that is hard to find. Highly recommended.

Google Review


Very fair prices and Ricky was a huge help who was so nice. Will definitely come back and recommend!

Google Review


Very nice guys. Fair prices too.

The best mechanic in Boston. After sifting through several others in a string of bad experiences, I finally found Jose. You will be treated like family here. Simply the best!

Google Review


Quick fix at reasonable price, will def come back for future services.

Google Review


This is without a doubt the best repair shop I've ever been too! Every employee I interacted with was helpful and kind. They did great work on my car. Would recommend them to anyone in the area.

My cooling system in my car failed at about 5:30pm on a Thursday. I called Jose and asked him if he could take a look at it, and he told me to bring it right over (even though they were closing at 6).
I wasn't able to move the car until the next day, but I eventually dropped it off at 8am on that Friday. Jose called me at 10:20am with a diagnostic and asked for a go ahead, telling me he had the parts.
I got a second call at 12:50pm saying that the car was fixed. The repair was spot-on, done in less than five hours, and at a more than fair price!

Google Review


Very honest and sincere man. Very helpful team of professionals. Highly recommendable.

Google Review


Jose and the crew at Foreign Auto Clinic are phenomenal. I bought a car from Jose over the summer and had a fantastic experience. He was extremely helpful, kind, and honest throughout the entire process. Jose continues to go above and beyond for maintenance and any/all questions that I have. If you're looking for a great used car or mechanic services, this is the place to go!

Google Review


I have finally found the shop that I will be doing all of my business with and referring all of my friends to. Jose is one of the most pleasant people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His shop is fast and friendly, prices are very affordable, absolutely excellent quality of work and customer service. Highly recommended!

Google Review


It is so rare nowadays to find a mechanic you can trust if Jose's has you need a repair then you need a repair

Google Review


After 8 years in Boston I have found my favorite mechanic. This is the first shop I have ever paid a tip. Excellent value for high quality work. Not to mention friendly customer service. I had a coolant leak in my Audi A4 and figured I'd try to do the job myself. After some thorough research I discovered it was going to take me about 8 hours to complete (I am a fairly decent back yard mechanic). Just to access the rear coolant flange I was going to need to remove the high pressure fuel rail, the timing chain cover, the coolant reservoir and still have no clear line of sight to the part. I called foreign auto clinic and set up an appointment with very little notice. I accidentally dropped the car off completely out of gas. They did the job in less than a day, fueled it up (he had to push it to the pump), and charged me less than I had expected. I love them.

Google Review


Awesome. Came here after another shop charged me to misdiagnose two issues and this place gave me answers for less money. New go to guy.

Google Review


Ricky was able to plug two holes in the same tire in under 10 minutes. The staff are all competent and friendly. Strongly recommend!

Google Review


Jose is a kind, responsible, and trustworthy mechanic. His garage puts the customer first by offering great service/work and reasonable pricing. I'm grateful my roommate recommended this garage--I now recommend them to my friends. Thanks, Foreign Auto Clinic!

Google Review


Honest, hard-working people. Jose, the owner, is always there. He will take care of your car. Reasonable prices.

Google Review


Jose is incredible. Twice now he has taken my car before the shop officially opens, made major repairs same-day, and come in way below costs I saw quoted online for the area. And on top of that, he and the other guys who work there are incredibly nice. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Google Review


This is a wonderful shop which is filled with honest hard working people. I brought my car there to get quite a lot of work done they worked with me to make sure we both gained the most from the deal. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone who asks from now on.

Google Review


My car wouldn't start so I had it towed here because of the location. Within two days, José had fixed my engine back to 100% and for a very reasonable price. If you're worried about your mechanic being dishonest or getting you to pay for unnecessary work, this place is your solution. I will be bringing my car back here again and again and would recommend José to anyone.

Google Review


I am with them for more than 3 years. The best place to fix your car... Reasonable price, high quality of work. Jose and his personal are very honest and friendly.

Google Review


Wow Jose is amazing. He fixed my BMW in half the time and at a fraction of the cost compared to the dealer. He's an honest guy and it's so refreshing after spending years getting gouged by the dealer. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

Yelp Review


Jose and his team truly deserve rewards. I was in a pretty big accident on the freeway due to the snowy weather this past month, and my car ended up spinning on the freeway and hitting the guard rail. When I first got there and finished talking about what needed to be done, they generously offered to drive me back home across the street! There was some insurance lag, but they were so patient and so kind. Within about a week, my car was completely done. They're not only incredibly kind, but him and his team go above and beyond. They fixed old scratches from before my accident, and Jose also was so nice enough to change my oil as well.

Yelp Review


Really great honest people here, highly recommended. I've come a couple of times and they've been incredibly nice and helpful. The prices are very fair too. I don't know much about cars so going to a shop can be intimidating but they are so nice they make it easy. BC students, you should definitely come here!

Yelp Review


Any time I have brought my vehicle in, this shop has been super fair and really quick fixing any issues. Customer service is amazing and the pricing is the best in the area

Yelp Review


Have used Jose's services for new brakes, rotors and pads on my Acura TSX, and was really happy with the work. Price was very competitive, quality parts were used. The car brakes better than when I bought it, no shaking, very stable, no hissing sound. I have used Jose's services again to check on a battery. Very honest, reliable, good price.

Yelp Review


I really owe this place a 5 star review. I'm writing this review after 2-3 weeks from my visit. While driving my old 2003 Honda Accord, on an intersection in small hilly road, my car broke. I incorrectly assumed that my transmission broke, and started searching places who can fix my car. I even assumed that my car is now dead forever and it's time to junk it. I go junk my cars offers like $100 or $125, or $425, the max...

After calling several places, I called here. And liked it immediately. Most mechanics were not interested, not available, can't tell the quote, or just too unconcerned. Anyways, so I took the car here, they mentioned it's the axle that is broken. They fixed 2 axle on Saturday, and didn't charge too much for it, was reasonable, considering that I towed my car there. Also, fixed my A/C, light bulb...

Overall, I highly recommend this place. Because of them, I'm still driving my car... This is a great mechanic shop

Yelp Review


Foreign Auto Clinic is probably the best mechanic I've ever been to. My fiancée and I started coming here last year, when my breaks went. Turns out I needed all four repaired and Jose gave me a fair and good price. Not only was the price reasonable, but he was super quick with the turn around. Ever since, I've always brought my car back, no matter how small the fix, and either Ricky or Jose have always been super helpful and quick with helping me. If and when we move, we will be so sad to not have Jose and Ricky nearby as our Mechanics!

Yelp Review


YES!

This place. What a cool mechanic. What a true gem.

This guy does the work, at a fair price. And he does it well.

He doesn't upsell or make up issues with the car.

If you need a second opinion (or really your only opinion) go to Jose.

Yelp Review


I agree with the reviews about the quality of this operation, and Jose. My son used Jose based on a friends suggestion. It was July 3 about 3pm. He was on his way to Logan from CT to get his brother and then on to the cape. Instead he limped into the shop with a dead alternator and detached muffler. Jose diagnosed it and fixed it before he closed at 6pm. I'm sure he had other work to do, but he probably saw the urgency of the situation and dealt with it. Charged a fair price for the work and no upsell...we were in a tough spot and he certainly could have sold us stuff we didn't need. Honesty is the key to this business and Jose seems to be the real deal. I rarely rate anything, but he did us a real solid and he deserves the same in return.

Yelp Review


Great car repair shop on Commonwealth Ave in Boston near Boston College. It is within the Sunoco gas station. Jose is the best and knows his cars; he and his crew are hard workers and get the job done efficiently and the price is always what they quote you at. He had kept my wife's VW 96 bug around until we bought a new car and is keeping my 08 Honda civic around too. The shop does oil changes too but does not do state inspection stickers.
