Quality Foreign Car Service

These guys are not mechanics, they are wizards. They love your car as much as you do. If your car is regularly serviced by these guys you will have no problem hitting 300k on the odometer and save the cost of at least one brand new car that you won’t have to buy.

These guys are pretty much the best you can go to if you have a Subaru. Wayne and Mike are awesome. They don’t try to play mind games with you. They tell you honestly what’s going on with your car and fix it. I like that they don’t just try to get you in and out. They recommend having things done that they would do for their own vehicles. I find that commendable. Highly recommended.

I’ve had another great experience at Quality Foreign Car Service and wanted to share again how wonderful it is to have a trustworthy mechanic. Wayne was exceptionally helpful in determining my current car issue.
I took my car for a simple alignment at a pretty popular tire shop on Woodward (you know, the one with the big talking tire) and they said that my rear alignment was so out of whack that I needed to head to a frame shop — odd, considering I treat my car exceptionally well and have been in no accidents. They sent me to a frame shop in Birmingham and after looking at the car and consulting the alignment printout the tire shop gave me, the manager there said my rear axle was bent so badly that I needed it replaced immediately. He quoted me a repair cost of $ 600. Yikes. Fortunately, his shop was moving and couldn’t take care of me until three weeks later. Enter Wayne and Quality Foreign Car Service.
My husband and I dropped off my car, handed him the alignment sheet the tire shop gave me and told him what the guy at the frame shop said. After telling him explicitly that we needed to have the rear axle replaced, he said that the alignment printout looked off but we definitely didn’t need to be so worked up about it. He took my car to an alignment shop he trusts (Wayne’s shop doesn’t do alignments — one of the only things he doesn’t do), put it up on the lift, and after looking at my beloved Vibe and hooking it up to a computer, he and his friend there determined that the tire shop and the frame shop completely overstated the severity of the situation. The rear alignment was just fine but angled in such a way that the front tires needed to be adjusted correctly. No need to replace the axle at all.
I am most impressed that I walked in and told Wayne I needed a pretty expensive service — and would probably have gone along with it if he said I did need a new axle! — but he went in and found exactly what was wrong and fixed what needed to be fixed.
At the tire shop, they hooked it up to the computer and went along with the printout’s one-​size-​fits-​all solution that would result in a budget-​busting fix. Wayne’s time and experience led to a solution that was less invasive and quicker and cost me nearly $ 500 less than what I expected to pay.
Wayne is an honest mechanic that works quickly and within budget. He has earned my business when it comes to car repair for everything that comes up in the future. I used to be totally anxious about going to a mechanic, but now I feel comfortable taking my car in when I have an issue. I know that I won’t be upsold, lied to, or pressured into agreeing to repairs my car doesn’t need. These guys are fantastic. I strongly recommend this shop for any car service you require.

I like Qaulity for 3 simple reasons.
1. They did an excellent job replacing the motor in my 2004 Volvo S60
2. The price was 3 grand less than the dealer (and they both located the exact same motor
3. Wayne is as honest as they come. He did exactly what he said he was going to do and had it done right on target.
These are good people and I am really happy to have found a mechanic I can trust.

This place is the best and has been the best for the 15 years they’ve been servicing my cars. I limped in with a car that wouldn’t stop, had to use the emergency brake to stop. Put it up on the hoist, ruptured brake line. The horror of it all is that I had just paid $ 900 for brake repairs at another local shop in a very fancy neighborhood with a fancy roster of cars in the lot. For $ 900, the first place did NOTHING! Quality got me in tip top shape for less than $ 200, I’ve been a loyal customer ever since.

Someone else has made it so I decided to give credit where credit is due. This place popped up in the old memory banks. I’ll make it quick. The guy was honest.
He said he didn’t want to fix my car because the Yahoos and the place I took it in the first place:
…really did a number on it. Something about it looking like the axle was jammed into place in a way that didn’t seem like it was supposed to be and that’s why fluid had leaked everywhere and my car was not going anymore. He didn’t want to Eff it up anymore than they had.
The guy was gruff. He was kind of blunt. He swore. He reminded me of me if I ran his shop. Of COURSE I was gonna trust him.
So we talked about my options. Take my chances and let him fix it, OR take it back to the «Yahoos» as he called them and risk them Effing something else up OR even worse breaking it more…
The choices were My choices uttered to him out-​loud. I didn’t get the feeling he was lowballing me. So, I said, Eff it. Just keep it and do your best. No questions asked if it’s Effed up when I get it back. It already was Effed up.
A couple days later I got the call… It was done and it was Good as new. He literally had to pry the Effed up Axle out of there without ruining the rest of my vehicle. He managed to do it and repair it and for the remainder of the life of my car, which is still kicking, I have not had a similar problem since.
I HIGHLY recommend this place if you have a Foreign car. Go here. I have faith this guy will solve the problem.
Done Deal.
