They're honest and reliable. They always squeeze you in, in case of emergency. They diagnose problems and provide cost frameworks for possible scenarios. In the latest situation, we had difficulty with my daughter's car at another place, two major repair bills in the last two oil changes. Joe's Foreign looked over their proposals and supposed work done and helped get us back on track. From all these years of working with Joe and George, I've come to trust them completely. They are not the least expensive, but they stand by their work and have a good sense of what's worth doing and what should be delayed.

I've had both of my cars into Joe's. they are locally owned, efficient, well spoken, nice and do good work. They do good work and charge a fair price for it. Their prices are high but not so high that it is worth shopping around. I take BART into work and they are just a short walk from the station. it is easy to drop the car off and leave it for the day.
The only thing that I have trouble with is that it is often two weeks or more to get an appointment. I've had to twice bring my car to the dealer instead.

I love Joe's and they've done right by me in the past but the latest was a test of loyalty. The one sensor was seized, so I took it to Joe's for removal and replacement. Returned RAV4, but check engine light was still on, now for the other sensor. OK; possibility that in process of fixing first, other when bad. Had 2nd sensor replaced (no charge for labor). Light still on. Diagnostics done; bent pin in wiring harness connector found, one that was NOT there before. OK again; charged $200 for this. Leave on long (2500 mile) trip. Check under hood and find a hose disconnected and tucked under wiring (probably removed to get at sensor connection) allowing unfiltered air into combustion chamber. Sloppy work unbecoming of a quality shop such as Joe's.

Check engine light due to fuel cap - was cleared. Performed tune up and made recommendations for other work on this Toyota Corolla with 250K miles. Very professional, good work, recommendations for work to be performed at some future time.

Joe's Foreign Automotive does a great job. They are very professional, and they do exactly what they say they're going to do. We were referred to Joe's by a friend because we were tired of getting poor service from car dealerships.
