Testimonials
Therin has been working on our Porsche for years. He is honest, trustworthy & reliable - something hard to find in this industry. His knowledge is outstanding!
Kate R.
The staff at Foreign Cars are knowledgeable and reliable. I bring all my vehicles to them for all basic services to major repair. They were even able to fix my windshield on site.

An amazing job once more. I've been bringing my cars here for years. Highly knowledgeable, efficient, and always goes the extra mile. Glad to have reliable care. Thank you so much!!
Erika K.
My son and I were on the last leg of a 3200 mile circuit around the big national parks and Moab when we experienced a nuanced failure of the AC system. FC expertly diagnosed and repaired the 911, and went over and above on the pickup logistics.
Barry B.
I have used this business for service and repairs and want to give them the highest recommendation. Therin and his crew go out of their way to assure my car gets top care and accommodate my needs. Their expertise with high end European, exotic and vintage cars is unmatched.
Sepp S.
Shops owner Therin is extremely knowledgeable. I have had many vehicles repaired there over the years and have never been jacked around on the price. He is very busy so it may not be a "next day service" type of establishment..but if you want instant repair...Walmart in Montrose is open.
