    I recently purchased a 1998 Volvo S90, and was looking for a dealer that I could trust for service. I had tried a few repair shops and was not satisfied with any. I then tried Foreign Affairs after reading that Better Business Bureau gave them an
    A+. that is the best. I asked for prices over the phone, and was satisfied. I met Frank and Jonathan who both treated me like I was a member of there family. they made me feel so welcome. the repairs were done correctly and on time. I have never been as happy with an auto repair company. they are beyond great.

    Purchased a 06 mini cooper from Foreign Affiars Auto. They had been servicing the car from the previous owner and I must say it is in excellent shape. Have not had to have anything done to the car yet. Keep up the great work Foreign Affairs. I would recommend you anytime......................auterdee

    I needed an oil change on my bmw 335d. I decided to try Foreign Affairs because i liked their price and easy manner when I first called. I arrived 12/15/2011 and found a nice reception and waiting area, a clean shop and knowledgeable folks. Glad i tried them, will return and recommend to friends.

    A high quality, family-owned dealership for purchasing high-end preowned vehicles and for excellent service and mechanical work. A truly honest dealer who treats customers with respect and like family. They do high quality work, their cars are pristine, and the value is exceptional. I have been a loyal customer for 25 years and this is my dealership for life. If you give them a try, they will be yours also. You deal directly with the owners, and they strive to meet customer needs. Give them a try and see if my review is on target.

    Great Service! I was looking for a place my VW Passat and I could feel comfortable at, and Foreign Affairs Auto far exceeded my expectations. Kim and frank treated me in the manner in which I try to treat my customers, with professionalism and compassion. It is hard to find a business founded on virtue anywhere these days, but it seems to be their business model. The repair was diagnosed and corrected and in a timely manner, instilling the utmost confidence in their maintenance personnel. I will certainly return and highly recommend these folks. Pete C.

    While few people are happy to spend money on repairs and maintenance, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t feel good about dealing with those who do the work.

    You have every right to expect a friendly business relationship, in which you pay fair market value for the work, and it’s done correctly by people you respect. Here are a few reasons I've come up with in my three years of going there as to why you should choose Foreign Affairs Auto:

    1. They employ qualified professionals to carry out the repair and maintenance work.
    2. Professional Customer Service either in or out of warranty situation.
    3. The service department gives you options that you can choose from that will save you money? (This is a sure sign of an honest mechanic.)
    4. They back/warranty the parts and labor.
    5. Friendly, helpful, and not irritated by your questions.
    6. They get to know you AND your vehicle inside and out, and you’ll always be able to discuss your vehicle’s health with them.

    I not only use their mechanics for all my service needs (BMW and Mercedes), but I also bought (from Fred) my latest car here. Foreign Affairs Auto is a business that I have come to trust explicitly and so will you.

    Live in downtown. Found Foreign Affairs on the web and found very good reviews. When my BMW 535i broke down, I guess out of coincidence, my next door neighbor also referred me to Foreign Affairs. With all of the great things heard and read, I decided to have my car towed in. Their staff is wonderful. Very polite, seem very honest, and professional. They treated me with enormous respect and got my car back on the road in a respectable time.

    Very nice facility! Definitely a hidden gem. I live in the area and must have driven by the place 100 times. Last month, my Volvo C70 had a problem with the A/C. I got an estimate from the Volvo dealer to fix and since money is tight at the moment I decided to do some research of good alternatives. I found Foreign Affairs Auto online and called for an estimate. The estimate I received was almost $400 less than the one I got from the Volvo dealer. I did more research on Foreign Affairs and found all great reviews and excellent rating with the BBB so I decided to give them a try. I was more than pleasantly surprised by my initial impression when I arrived for my appointment. The inside is gorgeous! Very clean. Contemporary design. Very nice customer lounge. Espresso bar!!!! Shop area is immaculate. Kim, my service writer, was very courteous. They provided me with a shuttle ride to work and picked me up at the end of the day. The invoice I received was exactly the amount I was originally quoted. You just get a great feeling doing business with Foreign Affairs. I, without a doubt will be back! A+ RECOMMENDATION.

    Just picked up my Range Rover last week after bringing it to Foreign Affairs for a suspension issue. What a relief and pleasure it was doing business with Foreign Affairs Auto. What a difference vs. going to the dealer. I was treated very fairly, saved and am very happy to have found Foreign Affairs using this site. I saved $760!!!

    This place is good for Mercedes Benz, probably BMW's, but I took my Land Rover there and basically I was paying them to learn how to fix land rovers. My SUV was in and out of that place every day for a week, they could never fix it and I had to take it to the dealer to know that Foreign Affairs did such a terrible job, basically I paid double the money...and I also learn in the dealer thet they charged me for a part that should be for free...same story with my husbands Porshe, the experience was horrible and do not recommend this place at all.
    What is worse, they knew they were charging me all that money and never even offer to waive anything after such an aweful experience.

    I wanted to make known that I had a wonderful experience with Foreign Affairs Auto and their exceptional service staff. Frank and Kim are 5-Stars! I most recently had my 2007 Mercedes S550 in for service. I have to express that I am so happy to have finally found a service place that makes the service experience so delightful. The method in which Foreign Affairs prides itself in providing exceptional customer service, honesty, and integrity is outstanding. I look forward to having a long-standing relationship with Foreign Affairs.

    Exceptional service received. I was tired of going to the Mercedes dealer and paying outrageous repair bills but I didn't know where to go or who to trust. I was given a Great recommendation from a neighbor and decided to give Foreign Affairs a try. What a delightful surprise! The service advisors were very courteous and quickly earned my respect and trust. While I waited for my car, I was invited to a delicious cappuccino at their very own espresso bar! I sincerely felt that Foreign Affairs had very fair prices and honest service. I now feel much more comfortable knowing that I found a great place that I can trust the next time my vehicle asks for service!

    New to the area and needed to do scheduled maintenance on my 05 Mini Cooper S. Found Foreign Affairs Auto on this site. Great Experience! Requested a quote over the phone before hand, made an appointment, and took my car over. All work was performed in a timely manner and I was treated with great respect while I waited. What a difference versus going to the Mini Dealer! I wish I would have found Foreign Affairs years ago! When it came time to pay, I was presented an invoice with the exact amount I was quoted. No surprises! I recommend Foreign Affairs Auto to anyone looking for an excellent and honest repair shop for their foreign car!

    First off, Foreign Affairs has consistently received top ratings by everyone that I have ever spoken to in the Palm Beach area. They were recommended to me by a friend on the Golf course.

    Whenever I go to a service facility, whether it be a Porsche dealer or an independent shop, I always judge their service by how well they maintain the store and staff appearance. Because if they take the time to maintain their appearance (discipline), more than likely they also maintain high-quality in their work. From the time I first walked through the doors at Foreign Affairs, I was impressed with what I saw. This shop has to be the BEST KEPT SECRET in PALM BEACH!!!

    Foreign Affairs Auto gets my vote for being one of the best shops in the Palm Beach area! Kim, the Service Manager, is fantastic! He truly is a professional and takes the time to explain the work that's being done and why.

    I recommend Foreign Affairs Auto to anyone that is tired of being ripped off by the dealer! I have never been happier with a service facility!

    This is now my 3rd time returning to Foreign Affairs in West Palm Beach. Hands Down, the BEST Shop experience in town! The Foreign Affairs operation is 5-Star in every way: very fair prices, honesty, comfort, and service. I have owned over 10 Benzs' and previously only brought my cars to the dealer. I was referred by a friend and wished I had heard about Foreign Affairs years ago! It really is an experience like no other! Thanks Frank, Kim, and the entire Foreign Affairs service staff!
