Best priced, highest quality service in town. Recommend making an appointment since he's usually busy.

We've taken our last two vehicles here. Great service. Subaru and Honda.

I have been coming to this shop for many years now. As a single mom it is hard to find a quality shop that values exceptional service without taking advantage of a woman. I appreciate their honesty and dedication to doing a great job. Would highly recommend them to anyone!

Just started taking my Camry there and it was a great experience!! Fast, reasonable prices, and the owners Tom and Tammy were delightful to deal with. Tom had me go out in the shop to check a seeping steering rack that the dealer I was going to never mentioned?. But then instead of selling me a new rack he mentioned that he would just check the rack each time I was in and if it got worse change it out at that time? Who does that any more!! I highly recommend the Boise Foreign car!!!

Always awesome service! Several years ago, I had to take my car to the dealer several times for the same problem - they couldn't figure out the issue. I finally looked elsewhere and found Boise Foreign Car. Tom figured out the problem, and fixed it right away. I won't take my car anywhere else!


Nov 06, 2024

VERDICT: I highly recommend for the foreign car owner. EXPERIENCE: They are prompt and professional, yet they squarely embody every likeable feature of being a quintessential family operation, from kind staff and knowledgeable staff to the inter-staff demeanor and occasional banter. The facility is clean and well setup, should you need to wait for your car to be serviced. Both quality and prices have been better than previous shops I've had service my vehicles.

T&T (dynamite!) are great at what they do and don't mess around. I was referred here and have referred numerous friends and colleagues here. If something needs to be fixed they'll fix it and make it right, if something doesn't need to be fixed they aren't going to try to gouge you or upcharge. Honest shop and honest people.

They always are so knowledgeable and give us the best price. They have done a lot of work on my Lexus SUV and my aunts cars as well, we have yet to be disappointed. Thank you, Boise Foreign!


Jul 06, 2024

Tom and Tammy are the most honest people I have worked with.


May 06, 2024

Love the work they do!!


Apr 06, 2024

2005 LS 430. They take care of her and I wouldn't trust anyone else with her maintenance. 100% trust


Apr 06, 2024

Always fast and wonderful, cost efficient service. Don’t take your foreign car anywhere else!!!


Mar 06, 2024

Need a skilled mechanic who will never upsell you and always be straight with you? Of course you do! Tom has worked on my cars for 20 years—ever since I asked Brett Hurless who I could trust with my Outback. He’s always fair and honest and he gets the job done. Period. See for yourself.


Mar 06, 2024

Trusting foreign car auto with our vehicle has been one of the best decisions we have made. Tom has given welcomed advice and recommendations, based on the reality of each situation, rather than to comply with any expectation. He has helped us make the best decisions for our vehicle and has always stayed true to his price. They have gone above an beyond, even when the mistake has been ours, Cannot recommend this place highly enough. A+


Feb 06, 2024

Always great customer service, explanation of concerns, thorough, fair pricing. Would not entrust my Scion to another shop.


Feb 06, 2024

I have been coming to Boise Foreign Car Service for over 10 years. They always thoroughly explain issues or needed repairs, and never make me feel like I’m being sold things I don’t need. Top-notch service and completely fair pricing—I won’t take my truck anywhere else. These guys are the absolute best.


Feb 06, 2024

They told me my engine had seized up and I needed a new engine. Didn’t run any other tests nothing because the car wouldn’t start. Took it to Kia and they put a new battery back in it ran the codes car runs like a top. I’m just more frustrated that instead of doing their due diligence and actually looking for the problem they say throw a new engine in it and it should run. And I just wonder how many other people they have done this to. It’s not right or ok to do this to people.


Feb 06, 2024

Great attention to detail. Great customer service. Will only recommend what they truly think is necessary. They don't upsell and they don't push stuff you don't need


Feb 06, 2024

Had a great experience, they were able to quickly diagnose my vehicle, explained everything very well, and got it repaired quickly. Very high value, good pricing, quality work, and excellent customer service. I will definitely be using them again.


Feb 06, 2024

Honest and thorough. I keep going back.


Feb 06, 2024

I dropped my car off for a pre purchase inspection, before purchasing. I was given very professional, friendly service! They have a great deal of knowledge about Japanese cars and were able to find specific things of concern before purchase. I got a very fair evaluation for $120 and 20 minute phone call afterwards to discuss his findings and any questions I may have. I was purchasing the car out of state and had to rely on his judgement. Boise Foreign Car met all of my expectations and when I arrived to buy the car I was not surprised by anything out of the ordinary. I would gladly use Boise Foreign Car Service again!


Feb 06, 2024

Just started using their service for my 2012 Prius, so just oil changes so far but top notch. Great place to take my Prius. Quick service.


Feb 06, 2024

This is an excellent shop. They have really got things figured out. Great mechanics that know how accurately diagnose the problem and fix it the right way. Friendly and helpful staff all around. Other shops have struggled with my Subaru, but not here.


Feb 06, 2024

Today was my first (and not last) time having Tom work on my Tacoma. He replaced a couple of CV boots and a few other details. Thanks, Tom, for doing a good job! A lot of shops (Boise Muffler Auto Repair) do good work but push unnecessary upsales. So far, Boise Foreign Auto is a diamond in the rough. They aren't trying to get deep in your pocket. Do a good job, as expected,⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks, guys! See ya next time.

Tom and Tammy are incredible people to work with. Whenever I call in with a question or concern with my vehicle , they take time and care with me, even if I don’t end up needing work done at the shop. Just today the catalytic converter was stolen off my Prius and before I knew that was the issue, I called to talk to Tom. By listening over speaker phone to the horrible sound of my car, he knew the issue right away and advised me on how I could safely drive to his shop. I always feel I’m in good hands with them, trust their wisdom and judgment, and how they aren’t pushy at all when it comes to getting unnecessary repairs. It can be tough to find a solid, reliable mechanic who is fairly priced with excellent customer service, so if that’s what you’re looking for, this is the shop for you!


Feb 06, 2024

Tom was very friendly and knowledgeable! He helped me with my 2004 Mazda 6's electrical issues that I've been struggling with for days!


Feb 06, 2024

Wonderful family run business! Friendly folks and they certainly know what they're doing!


Feb 06, 2023

After trying the "others", ultimately...the best.


Feb 06, 2023

Easy to make apps. Very flexible to my schedule changes. Completed a front brake service on my subaru, checked rear brakes and muti-point inspt, all in 1.5 hrs. Excellent customer service all at half the price quoted by local dealer.


Feb 06, 2023

Straight forward, excellent service from start to finish. I won't go anywhere else. to finish.


Feb 06, 2023

Told me that the only thing that could be done about a random missire code on a 370z was to guess and throw parts at it. Not a very good diagnostic technician i guess.


Feb 06, 2023

We have been loyal customers of Boise Foreign Car Service for more than 15 years and we will continue to be loyal customers into the foreseeable future. Tom and Tammy are exceptional folks to deal with and the work performed by the shop is something you can depend on. Boise Foreign Car is, by far, the best automotive shop we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.


Feb 06, 2023

We’ve been going to Boise Foreign Auto for over 3 years. They replaced the transmission in one car, did some work on several of our other cars. They are our go to mechanic! We have taken our Nissans and Toyotas in for a great customer service, and great explanations.
