Specialty Foreign Auto is a European specialty shop that provides trustworthy and honest service. The shop specializes in maintenance and general repair for most foreign automobiles, including Porsche, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, Asian vehicles, and British cars. It also builds Porsche and Mercedes engines, works on carburetors, and handles many vintage projects and restorations. The facility is well-equipped with a machine shop, a five-bay shop, and modern equipment. Customers consistently describe the whole crew as fantastic, fair, honest, reliable, and trustworthy. The shop is known for not gouging price-wise and for always looking out for the customer's best interest. This honest assessment is priceless, especially for owners of older, finicky machines like the Vanagon, whose quirky design the shop understands top-notch. The team keeps an open mind, even working efficiently on vehicles like Teslas that share design commonality with other European brands. They provide quick service, often turning cars around in a couple of hours, and charge fairly for labor. Many clients have developed long-term relationships with the shop, finding them after their regular mechanic retired or became unavailable. The experience is a pleasure, with the shop reliably handling everything from oil changes and tune-ups to suspension upgrades, transmission maintenance, and replacement. For honest, knowledgeable, and reliable auto care, customers highly recommend Specialty Foreign Auto.
This crew exudes a love of the craft for solving problems with German and European cars. You can see their enthusiasm in every conversation. Humboldt is blessed to have a shop that provides this level of service and care for these types of vehicles.

They are good people and very knowledgeable. Family run operation. ❤ They are respectful of women and take care to explain things you may not understand if not familiar with the mechanics of things.
