Labor 270.00
Excellent service from a very honest and hard working group.... Would highly recommend!
Foreign Car Service has provided me with great service on a couple of occasions. They are knowledgeable and competent in their work. Their prices are competitive, especially compared to a Porsche dealer. Their knowledge of Porsche is as good as the dealership staff and they take the time to explain the problems in detail and provide accurate advance quotes.
Claudio Kaempf is a mechanical genius when it comes to fixing cars. He is not only a brilliant mechanic he is also honest. Those traits are rarely found in the same person. I first met Claudio almost 30 years ago when I lived in Portage and his shop was in Kalamazoo. The wipers on my Honda Civic had broken and the local Honda dealership told me that I needed a new wiper motor. I purchased a used wiper motor and took my car to Foreign Car Services. Claudio took all of 2 minutes to tell me my wiper motor didn't need to be replaced and told me I needed to buy a linkage arm from the dealership for $10.00. I bought the part and Claudio charged me $10.00 for labor to install it.
The only place I'll take my cars. Their scope of services is huge, and they are far more knowledgeable than dealers or other places like Strictly in terms of mechanical repairs. Claudio's facility is top notch, and his staff are experts at getting to to root of your cars problems, and their turnaround times are impressive. To the previous reviewer with the Volvo who gave it one star: this isn't the place to rant about quoted services you never followed through on.
But don't use these reviews to get your revenge and hurt an honest man's business.
FCS Pump price 461.39
Pump Tank Seal 12.35
Other Charges 46.22
I disagree with the time they thought they were about to spend on the car; as they are a specialist in Volvo cars and understand wholeheartedly how fast it would take.
Claudio is in business to make money so he can support his family, not to make friends and influence people. Do you think that people bring their Ferraris and Porsches to Claudio because of his scintillating personality? (Sorry Claudio). No. They bring their expensive cars to him because they wouldn't trust their cars with anyone else. You choose professionals, whether a doctor, lawyer, or mechanic, by their competence and honesty: Claudio has both.
I replaced my own fuel pump in 28 minutes using a $292 fuel pump from Autozone. Foreign Car Services wrote me a quote for $836.47 initially:
Fuel Filter 46.51
So all you weenies and whiners: If you don't like Claudio's repair estimate, you are free to take your car elsewhere and pay twice as much for labor.
