Dependable and honest service with better prices than a dealership. Excellent communication and finished on time.
Ive been a customer of this shop since 1987 for all the maintenance and repair work of my 3 Civics, an Acura Integra, and a Toyota Prius. Excellent work, good customer service, and they dont try to sell me additional repair work. Their price is not cheap but reasonable, most likely a little less than Honda and Toyota dealers. Heres an example of how good they are: long time ago, a co-workers Civic had a problem which the dealer still could not fix after 2 visits; I told him to call Foreign Affair; then just with the description on the phone they knew exactly what the problem was. I think their employees stay with the shop for many years.
Have been their customer since 1989. They have new folks in charge since Kevin and Alan retired last year. Hopefully the new folks can keep up the reputation.
My car broke down on a drive up to the Bay Area from socal and we had it towed here at about 2am on my uncles recommendation. Even though they were fully booked, they managed to fit my car in and fix everything (alternator, battery, and radiator) within 2 days for a reasonable price. Really happy with the communication, service, and friendliness
Knowledgeable staff offered to answer any questions in coming weeks as we get to know our new to us car. Will definitely return as needed for future service. Recommend them highly.
Foreign Affair what sounds like the name of the movie, but, theyre actually the great place to get your car repaired the prices are moderate the group of mechanics are all very kind when you go in ask for ken he works out in the back he looks like he came out of a 1940s movie totally gangster looking hes a sweetheart none the less. theyll always be able to fix your car because IMC delivers a lot of their Auto Parts and thats me Daniel abstract artists, whats regular better year love always keep following!
Shop looks organized and the service technicians seems to know their stuff.
Genuine and reliable. Will always go here.
Ive been taking my car here for several years now. Always professional, straightforward, and honest.
This place is a hidden gem in the Bay Area. Absolutely fantastic, down-to-earth folks.
These guys have looked after an accord, pilot and now my second pilot. They use Honda parts but don’t charge dealer prices (and I trust them more than I trust a dealer).When my last pilot went to the dealer for a recall they tried to up sell me on more things. Foreign affair sorted it out, actually showed me exactly what needed doing.Good work, good prices and I trust them.
Great shop. Honest and professional. Would recommend to anyone.
Non-better! Purely the best!
20 years taking my cars here. These guys are honest and just plain great.
Foreign Affair is the Top Notch Honda repair shop in Santa Clara. Auto tech, Dave has been there since thet were on Lafayette St. I wouldnt go anywhere else.
Extraordinary people. Seems they are not there just to make money. I had a good experience with them. Will continue to go for my regular maintenance.
“Quality of a person or an organization is determined by the commitment to Excellence.“ Foreign Affairs Auto and it’s people like Kevin, Alan and others are living true to Coach Lombardi’s famous words. It’s true I keep our Toyota cars because of them and also keep their services as the major consideration in buying a new car. Thank You
Very happy with this garage. Personable, caring, going the extra mile.
Friendly honest staff that always does a great job taking care of my vehicles.
Brought my and my wifes car for regular tune up service. We had a scheduling conflict and the staff were able to accommodate our every need - even drove us to the airport! The service was fast, extremely affordable with great competitive pricing, and had superb professional customer service. Well definitely be back. Thank you!
I work here, so my perspective is biassed; however, I thought it would be good to give my opinion. Since I joined the company in 1982, we have been blessed with wonderful, appreciative clients who refer their equally wonderful friends and relatives. We have some families with three generations bringing their vehicles to us.We have also been blessed with skilled, conscientious technicians who like working here.I love this place!Thank you clients and colleagues
Great service. Very professional. Got my tire problemdiagnosed and fixed quickly. Highly recommend this place!
Had a fantastic experience here. They are so honest, trustworthy, and professional. A client for life!
Trusted high quality service with friendly staff. Not necessarily the cheapest place but a place doing the right thing.
Have used them for 15 years. Trustworthy and knowledgeable.
Good people. Seems they are not there just to make money. I had a good experience with them. Will continue to go for my regular maintenance.
I really like this shop. They treated my ‘03 Subaru well and gave me a good estimate upfront. They called and explained every additional work. No pressure in doing the extras. And I think they have very experienced staff.
I cant say enough positive things about this business. Kevin is awesome. Top notch service. Fair pricing. Professional and friendly front desk staff.
Declaration: I did not really fix my car here but just asked for 2nd opinion from the store. The staff is super friendly and professional . They show me in person where the issue is to my car and explain how to get it fixed in detail. They waived the inspection fee as they think it’s just a quick check. Will definitely have my auto service here in the future.
I went to this store due to the good reviews on google. The service is great. And people there are great too! I would definitely go back if I need the car service in the future.
Ive been taking my car here for service ever since I started driving. That was almost 25 years ago. I found myself wishing I could take my cars in here for service even when I lived somewhere else in the country. Im so happy to be back in CA and these guys are a big part of that.Theyre fast, fair, courteous and go the extra mile every time. Theyre practically family to me and worth the drive from Marin County.
We have been bringing our cars for all repairs here for more than 20 years. I highly recommend them. Very reliable, reasonable and efficient. I cannot say enough good things about them.
I live in LA now but brought my Honda to this shop for many years when I lived in the Bay Area (Go Sharks!). They are a well-run repair shop that is very clean. The quality of their work is exceptional. In fact, I like them so much that I still call Kevin from time to time for advice on my Honda Odyssey that my wife drives here in LA.
Weve been going here for many years - in fact, Foreign Affair is a key reason why we continue to buy Honda automobiles. The environment is inviting; the service advisers are knowledgeable and completely honest; and the workmanship is spot on. Foreign Affair was recommended to me after I questioned several diagnoses from dealers. Long story short: The dealer wanted to replace the transmission on my Accord; Foreign Affair CORRECTLY diagnosed the problem and solved it by replacing a vacuum hose. Ive never looked back after that. For recalls, go the the dealer -- for anything else, go visit Foreign Affair. (They work on Toyota and Subaru too).
Was referred to this place by a coworker. The entire experience was a very good one. First Allen gave me a quote and also advised me against doing some unnecessary work. The quote itself was very accurate. I needed to get my spark plugs replaced, adjust valves,flush brake fluid and fill transmission fluid. The dealer was charging close to $600 just for the spark plug replacement. Foreign Affairs did all the above mentioned(4 items) for less than what I would have paid for 1 work item at the dealership. Also I availed of the shuttle, I dropped of my car at 7 am was dropped of at my workplace soon after. Kevin helped me on the day of the service itself. Will be going here for all future car service.
Doesnt get any better than this for an auto shop. Great customer service, honest and knowledgeable staff. By far the best.
Exceptional honest kind service! First time I call this shop and 100% satisfied, many thanks for Kavin!
Very honest people. This will be my go to place in the future
Trusted high quality service with friendly staff. Not necessarily the cheapest place but a place doing the right thing.

They maintain all my cars for over 20 years. Very trust worthy.
Trustworthy guys who wont oversell you. A great place if youre a Honda or Acura owner.
Straightforward auto repair. They knew what needed to be done and had my car ready at the scheduled time. Called with updates and recommendations for my repairs. I will be going here again.
The staff are knowledgeable, honest, and friendly. I happily drive half an hour out of my way to get my car serviced here because Im confident theyll do it right.They also have a comfortable waiting area with Wi-Fi, perfect for getting some work done while you wait.
Hi everyone hi Kevin. I read all the other posts of people having great experiences at marks shop, but in stark contrast to my experience. Kevin sold me a customers car that was not what he was use to working on in his own words. It was a bmw with an oil leak that he didnt mention because he had stuffed a rag under the oil leak so the person buying the car would not see it, when I told him I found the rag he asked me if I liked it as if he really got a kick out of it. I was not amused as it could have caught fire. ill give you an update when I hear back from the BAR. I would like to add that the shop looked very professional and Kevin seemed very polite soft spoken. gave me a feeling of trust. I cant understand why a shop with such great reputation would jeopardize all that to hide an oil leak from an unsuspecting customer to whom would have been a loyal patron!!
Weve been taking our Acura MDX here for four years. Foreign Affair has always been reasonably priced, and very efficient.
We have been taking my wifes Acura 2001 to Foreign Affair ever since it is been out of warranty. Repairs have always been done right the first time. No unnecessary repairs - they mention things that need watching and they have been watching it for years. Their location is not ideal for us, but we prefer to use their service for everything including oil changes.
Very best place to have your Honda serviced!! GREAT staff!!!!
I cant think of anything I dont like about this place. We have been taking our cars here for years. They seem expensive but this is because they do the job right and use factory parts. They do not do unnecessary work. Even though their oil changes may be expensive, they do a lot of checking, they are not just draining and pouring oil. They have been keeping our cars running for years and our old cars never give us surprises. In the long run it is economical to fix your car here. They always take time to answer all questions and explain everything. Their waiting room has wi-fi.
26 years of the best service for my 3 Hondas. I have tremendous respect for the honesty and integrity of the advisors and mechanics.
Very kind and honest service!
Have been going to them for over 25 years. Very honest and reliable.
Reliable service, trustworthy ppl. Have been a customer for 7 years.
Homest, trustworhty, high quality work, exceptional customer service.
Refused to service my Mercedes. The owner told me he will not work on german cars.Then why would you put foreign sign on your shop? Dummy
Great customer service and quality work.
Professional, honest and fair prices
This place rocks!
Very humble and knowledgeable folks
Convenient, fast, and reliable!
We have bought Acuras on purpose to keep these guys as our mechanics. My wife was quoted $7000 to repair her car form a dealership but Foreign Affair fixed the car for ~$600. They never up sell and often advise you if something can be deferred. If they are not diamond certified they should be...
Quick and professional.
Best service.
Honest and quality work
Great service!
Very professional,very kind people
