Foreign Car Workshop of West Seattle

Ryan and his team have taken care of 6 vehicles between myself and my parents and we've had nothing but amazing work, customer service, pricing and helpfulness. He's helped diagnose dash light issues for the vehicle for free, tell me the best ways and place to go to have it fixed. Never upsells or trys to push extra work. Ad someone who grew up/always been in West Seattle it makes me happy to know shops like his exist and I can't recommend going to him to enough people. Thank you Ryan and Team for all your incredible work!

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, honest and easy-going customer service. Update for May 2025: After hitting a speed bump, something started rattling underneath my car. Took my car to a former shop on a Saturday for a look and estimate for repairs. Was charged $71 and told I needed a new suspension and front brakes. Estimate was $2500. Waited a couple of days to get it to Foreign Car Workshop for a second opinion. Ryan got back to me quickly, no charge, and told me I needed a new upper shock mount. He got the part ordered, delivered and installed within 24 hours, and I paid what I was quoted. He also told me my brakes still have life in them. Literally saved me thousands of dollars and my ride is rattle-free. I'm planning to be a permanent customer.

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!
