Foreign Car Workshop of West Seattle

The engine in my wife's BMW went out. After receiving a ridiculous price from the dealer, I put a motor request out online and received a good motor from Car Part Express out of Texas. They shipped the engine and was installed at a reasonable price. The car has been back now for two weeks with zero problems. I have a happy wife and a happy bank account. I am a huge fan of Car Part Express and Foreign Car Workshop!

I came in for a simple oil change on my 2005 Acura TL a few weeks ago— my first time using this shop — and left genuinely impressed. Ryan treated the visit with care and attention far beyond what you'd expect for something routine. He was kind, transparent, and clearly takes pride in his work. It’s rare to feel that looked after, even for something small. I’m really glad I found this place.

Found orange fluid under the front end of my car and took it in to inspect for a leak, based on a friend's recommendation. (They bring two vehicles here for services.) Ryan was helpful and no hassle, answered all my questions about drop-off, fees, etc., up front. Was going to leave it over night but he looked at it that day. He said it looked like the battery had recently been replaced, which he was totally right about, and that had created rust dust that mixed with water and caused the orange fluid drips. He made sure nothing appeared to be a safety issue. I was able to pick my car up that same day, no charge. Other places wanted between $175-$190 just to look at it. I'll be needing a tune-up a couple hundred miles down the road and I'll be bringing my car back here. Very communicative, h

I usually absolutely despise mechanics because they rip people off and try to up charge you for stuff that just isn’t needed while assuming you just don’t know what you are talking about, BUT… I was told about this place by my girlfriend’s family. I thought I had a water pump go out but I didn’t have the right tools to take care of it myself. Called Ryan and told him what I thought and he told me to bring it down. Ryan confirmed it was a water pump, gave me a fair estimate and had it done day of. Didn’t try to up charge me and the price was the same when I got there. It really is the simple stuff that so many places get wrong. Thanks for all the help today guys! I’ll be back if anything else goes out.

I have been coming here through 3 cars over the years. Ryan and his crew are so friendly and really helpful especially when you are on a budget! Not once have I been upsold a service! Everytime I walk out feeling more knowledgeable. All the techs always tell me about things I should possibly need to repair in 6 months and have gotten excellent referrals to other experts when necessary. This place is the best!
