Foreign Auto Clinic

Brought my car in for a check up and an estimate and they had it ready to go in a matter of hours. Great service and good price too on the estimate. The mechanics were really friendly and accommodating too. I’m a BC student so the location was great and I will be coming back here when I need service on my car in the future.

Great service, good work — my only complaint was that I asked for a call when the service was done, and never received it. I walked back over and everything was done, I guess they just forgot.

Wow. On a road trip and my AC compressor went out. Jose kindly took the time to assess the problem, after which I decided to tough it out until I got home. The next morning, I wondered what I was thinking. I called Jose and he fit me in so that I didn’t even get off schedule and was able to leave Boston on schedule. When I dropped the car off to be fixed a woman stopped me and asked if I was from out of town. When I said yes, she told me I’d picked the best mechanic in Boston – truly honest and excellent – that she’s been using him for years. I’m grateful I met Jose and would recommend him to anyone.

Jose is a master auto technician. He is amazing. I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else. He is really honest, and he and his team work fast. Most importantly my car is running better than ever. He explained everything on the bill clearly, and his prices are very reasonable. I just took my car in for a 30,000 mile service and he did an amazing job fixing everything. My father has been coming to Jose with all his car issues for 10 years. His car is running great too. I would recommend all my friends to Jose, and will always bring my car to Foreign Auto Clinic. Thank you so much Jose!

This place is amazing!!! Jose is a genius mechanic with very reasonable prices. He is such an honest mechanic and will listen to every single one of your questions and concerns and will not pressure you at all. He literally saved our family car. Driving the car out of his shop felt like driving a new car out of a dealer. He really values his customers and stands behind his work. Wonderful!

Two years later and Jose still gives me the best treatment! He and his staff keep up their professionalism and honesty; a rare find these days.

This is a 5-​star operation in the world of automotive repair. From the first moment of communication to showing up and finding that my car was washed and vacuumed free of charge, it was a true pleasure bringing my car to see Jose and the rest of his crew at Foreign Auto Clinic. Affordable, honest, and service with a personal touch all make this somewhere you should seriously consider going if you are tired of getting hosed by the dealerships.

Jose is a rare find. He is an honest mechanic with reasonable prices. I have gone here twice over the last year and he has treated me and my vehicle well both times. One of the few mechanics I have found that can be trusted!

Been going to Jose for just over a year now. ALWAYS fast, reliable and friendly. Very reasonable prices. A couple days ago my car wouldn’t start and he drove over and jumped it for no charge, saving me the trouble of a tow. He’s very patient with all my questions. You can pay and pick up your car after hours via the gas station attendant. You really cannot ask for a better mechanic and, quite honestly, a kinder human being.

I got a flat tire in my car and I called many service shops to try to find a new tire for my car. As I wanted a vey specific model and size, other shops completely turned down and refused to help me find the tire. Even though Jose didn’t have my specific tire, he quickly searched around and found a great alternative, and for a better price. They got the tire within an hour of my phone call and got it replaced. Excellent service!

What can I say? Jose, as everyone has said, is seriously amazing. I’m new to Boston and after having car issues and taking it to a certain chain store, I was VERY disenfranchised. Fast forward a couple weeks and I need a new mechanic, I decide to take a chance with Foreign Auto and good God, was that the smartest thing I could have done. He’s trustworthy, he’s fair, he’s a damn angel. Please don’t hesitate to bring your car here, Jose is a miracle.

Very friendly & knowledgable staff. Price is perfect & they treat your car well. Ask for Jose.

Jose is great. When my headlight went out, he had it fixed in about 10 minutes for $ 20.

I have taken my elderly vehicle to Jose for years. I know when there is a problem, Jose will give me a call and tell me a fair price. He is the reason my 16 year old car is still going. I moved out of the neighborhood and still bring my car to Jose over a year later.

Wonderful service. I dropped my car off yesterday morning after I saw the hood smoking and smelling like death. Jose diagnosed the problem and replaced my broken radiator in a day and kept in touch with me every step of the way. He called me extremely apologetic that he couldn’t finish the car the same day (seriously? I’d be happy if he finished it in the same WEEK) but told me he could finish it this afternoon and he did. Called me at 4:30 telling me it was all set and I just picked it up. I couldn’t be happier. I used to go to a Sullivan tire because it was right behind my house and while the guys there were nice, I knew they always tried to rip me off because I was a girl and didn’t know better. Jose wasn’t like this. Totally honest, didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need, stayed in touch with me and did the job fast and well. Found my new go to mechanic.

I’ve never had a better and more honest mechanic than Jose. Plain and simple, he’s great at what he does and honest about everything. I wouldn’t use any other shop than this place. 5 stars.

Jose has been the best since I’ve started taking my Jetta to the clinic. He’s very flexible and always willing to fit you in somewhere even though he’s incredibly busy from being great at his job and also a nice, popular guy! I trust him with my quirky German car because he does good thorough work and is even great at reversing the not so great work of others! Go see him, he’s a pleasure to work with; he’s reliable; his prices are fair to generous; he is highly recommended.

Jose and his crew at Foreign Auto Clinic are friendly, helpful, honest, fast. Everything you want in an auto repair shop. I really appreciate all the amazing work they’ve done for me already. I would recommend this show to anyone. They will be doing all my auto work going forward. Way less expensive compared to Dealership and the quality is the same! Its a no-​brainer. Thank you Jose and crew!

I have been going to Foreign Auto Clinic over 10 years. Jose, the head mechanic and owner, is very professional and knowledgeable. And most importantly, they are very good are their rate and prices. They explain why a part may be needed but they never push for more than what is needed for the car. They have a very good attitude in the shop and one is never made to feel like we are bothering them. I have been to places where I was afraid to ask questions. Never here.
I would highly recommend this shop as a place to go for repairs of all kinds. The people who I have referred to Jose, none of them had a bad experience and were thankful. Hands down– a great place and service.

I recently moved to the area and was skeptical about finding a local mechanic. I was referred to Jose at Foreign Auto Clinic and after having some car troubles last week, I had my car towed there. Jose was such a pleasure to deal with, he would call with updates and gave me a very reasonable price for the work I had done (I did some research to make sure). Not only was I pleased by the level of customer service but the work was also done quickly. I came back to pick up my car and saw they had even vacuumed the inside!
Although my first visit there was enough to prompt a glowing Unilocal review, I found myself back in the shop 2 days later after my car nearly stopped running on the I90E… My SUV does not have a history of problems but apparently I needed to replace another part, unrelated to the first. Not happy about it, and can’t help but be weary, but Jose was able to take care of it again within 1 day and answer any questions I had.
Hopefully that is the last time I have to go back there for a while!
