HORRIBLE!!! If you like to be ignored, treated like a step child, wait days, days & days for simple repairs - - THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! 😁. Fosters does fleet repairs, you will always be last in line, bring it in on a Monday, watch it sit till 3pm on Friday. Then wait till you get the bill!!! I'm stupid, I know, I used them for roughly 3 years - - it only gets worse the longer you stay with them... 🙄.

Really lovely place nr to centre Houston. We walked in with no booking and these guys had us sorted and back on the road within 1 hour! Special shoutout to Cameron - thanks again guys.

This place just isn’t professional. I think his name was “Michael” at the front desk has a loose screw. He was fighting with I think was his mother in the office, and tried to bring me into the middle of it. She even said at one point “I’m over this, I’m just gonna sell the place” which as a customer isn’t great to hear. On top of that, I already knew what my issue was for my car but they insisted that they diagnose it first for $60. I don’t need to throw away $60 just for you to tell me what I already knew. I prefer to shop at small mom and pop places but this place ain’t it.

They were great! Very friendly and the mechanics were very knowledgeable. They got extra points because of the donuts. :)

I would seriously advise you to never take your vehicle here. my experience with them was the first time I took my car and it came back to me smoking, with hoses and plugs not even connected back in their place. Ultimately I had a motor swap which was a complete piece of junk. I was charged almost 2, 000 for a 500.00 motor with 80,000 miles it blew oil and I spent over $7,000 in repairs to my vehicle only to have to scrap it out 4 months later at $350 at almost a total loss. Initally paid $1,700 for the car and i'm almost convinced that if I would have never went there, I would still be driving it today. I had problem after problem after problem , after taking my vehicle there. These people just upcharge and push parts and play a goodguy gimic that will have you spending thousands. I wanted to sue, i was so angry.

DO NOT GO HERE!! Took my Nisan there Jun 26th because the gears were lagging and felt as if the vehicle wouldn’t move. They couldn’t figure it out so they completed a transmission flush (costing nearly $400). That didn’t help anything and the car died 4 days later. I took it to Almeda repair and they fixed it for $100 (damaged cables)… I would not Recommend to friends and family😤 GO TO ALMEDA REPAIR

Diagnosed the issue. However, I was not told the amount for the diagnoses until the end. Over the phone I was told they would look at it with out any commitment. I know that service isn't free.The fee should be brought up during the initial consult.

Guy at the front makes me uncomfortable, stared at my chest often and insisted on forcing everyone with ears to listen to political diatribes. Also my catalytic converter was stolen the same day after my last visit here as well. Unfortunate because the mechanics are good, but the guy at the front makes it unbearable

I usually don't like returning the next business day when I had them resolved the issue. First they over did it with the psi on my tires. Over 44-50... then they couldn't resolve an issue on my alignment. So here I am dealing with it... then I come back due to my steering wheel being unaligned.. I don't even recommend this place. It's been awhile that I haven't came here. You'll think after 4yrs or so of not coming.. There would be some sort of improvement.. and it's very close to my job. A good walking distance. But, it's not worth it. I avoided this place for many years and left a review. At my surprise I don't see my old review here. So here's to a fresh one. I got my car, steering wheel is now pointing to the other side. When it was slightly pointing to the right (0.15) degree wise. slight... now it's pointing to the left (330.0) degree wise.... I just want it to be in the center....... Every time they come to me. It's always an excuse.. I never hear problem resolved and you're good to go... it's always "well, we try to get it right.. we tried this... we think... we are sorry.. "......... I only came, cause I needed a simple alignment and i never had a alignment problem at my main mechanic shop... but, i needed it done and i thought they improved.. and it was a walking distance for me and to pick up when done...this shop had the alignment equipment.. but i should have waited till the weekend to take it to my area... Rant over.. but for sure. This place is not the place to go to get your vehicle maintained. Save your TIME and your MONEY and take it somewhere else.... I'm stuck with this for now, till my free day. And having to pay another shop to resolve their issue. Tires- they added air for the alignment. I'm use to seeing my tires range to 29-34. (29 due to a cold) but avg.. 32 (I knew they touched my tires, when I saw the psi on muy tires being over 44-50) Alignment- just to resolve the alignment cause it kept pulling to the right.

They no longer do inspection. Took my car in for ac repair and had plan on doing the inspection at the same time but was advised they no longer do state inspections

Fosters has come through for me on several occasions! I have and will continue to recommend them to others.


Feb 06, 2023

Fosters have performed countless repairs for me in the past 7 years from rebuild front suspension to replacing motor mounts on my older cars the prices are competitive an the workmanship is very good plus they treat you with care an respect I now live fifteen miles from Foster’s I still go there for all my repairs

Great work

My Acura broke down. Windows wouldn't roll up, engine ran, but I couldn't get the shifter out of "park". Battery was working. They had their towing company tow my car in. and had it ready in one day. They also told me they will work on my 1984 VW camper. That's hard to find, these days. One of only three repair shops in a 40-mile radius that will do that. When they fix my VW van problem they get a full 5-star review.
