My experience at this business was unparalleled. I had a six week old kitten that crawled up my brake pedal into the dashboard of my car. I brought the car in first thing in the morning, without an appointment, and requested that they remove all the panels of my dashboard to get the kitten out, a 3 1/2 hour process. They did not hesitate, and set to work right away to rescue my tiny baby kitten. 3 1/2 hours later, she was returned safely to my arms, and my car was returned to me in perfect condition. They believed me, they sacrificed many hours out of their day to help me, and they were so very kind. I would recommend this business to anyone for anything. Family-owned, kind people, and excellent service

I compared prices around town with a few reputable shops...simply put: f.a.s.t's estimate was the most expensive, glad I didn't go through with the job..almost got "smoked"..overpriced

Had my alternator belt go out, which required a full replacement of the entire belt and pulley system. Got my car in late on a Friday after lunchtime and Jim, the owner, got it back to me later that evening right before close. Other shops were telling me it'd be a week at least. Jim and his team are all stand-up people who recognize the struggle of young working men like myself, and thanks to them I was able to drive to my new job yesterday. I cannot recommend FAST-FOREIGN Auto Services highly enough! Thanks again Jim and team.Service: General repairs & maintenance

On the way to Las Vegas, our check engine light came on and our engine started smoking; after getting stuck in the rain and calling a number of places, Jim was the only one able to see us that day. He quickly identified the problem and fixed it within hours; what could have been a multi-day hassle or a $400+ towing bill turned into a meal & a walk in Santa Fe and back home by dinner. Would highly recommend this shop to anyone in need in the area!

Jim didn't know how to trouble shoot an emissions gas release valve problem. He kept replacing the part and charging me for parts and labor. Jim didn't realize the exhaust valves needed cleaning. So if you want poor service and overcharges, then see Jim.

Always have a good experience here. They get it fixed fast, explain clearly and patiently what’s going on with your vehicle, and don’t gouge on price.

Whatever you do DO NOT trust the owner or his son! The owner knows his business, but over the last few years is giving his son a chance to run the business, BIG mistake! The guy must be on crack, lies to his dad about the customer and the Dad takes his word over his own mechanics who are the one's doing the work... Dad becomes controversial and doesn't address the issues or tries to remedy them because "he believes his son"... Too bad the hard work Dad has put into trying to establish his good name is being deteriorated because of his own son... Hold on to your money and go elsewhere for your own peace of mind.

Actions speak louder than words. The folks here are stand-up people. I had a new alert on a push-start car. None of my old tricks worked. I gave up and called FAST auto mechanics to ask if they could take in a Honda if I could get it towed there. They could have let me spend money on a tow and could have charged me to diagnose the problem. Instead they walked me through a few steps that got me running again. Thank goodness for service people like that!

Brakes and rotors on Tundra. Did not order the parts needed. So they ordered cheap parts to finish the job. Owner had an attitude did not want me waiting. They did work around my schedule and the mechanic did excellent work! $1200 price tag.

My husband and I are leaving FAST happy customers today. We are moving cross-country from Kansas to California and stopped in Santa Fe for a couple of nights. Yesterday, we were driving on some rough roads and heard a loud knocking sound. We later noticed that the catalytic converter and exhaust pipe were bent at an angle and seemed to lie lower than usual.Cut to me, now worried that we have a major problem to fix before we head out of town the next day. I found FAST and decided to call them based on the reviews. So glad I did! They were able to fit me in at 9.30am. While we were waiting, one of the technicians offered us some of his coffee. Super friendly service. In the end, the car was totally fine and we could head on out knowing that nothing was wrong. Thank you, Jim!

Jim was the most welcoming and helpful auto repair guy I've ever met. They fixed my car on the Saturday I brought it in! I'd recommend this establishment to anyone. Jim even picked me up at my house when the car was ready. As a new resident of Santa Fe he oriented me to my new surroundings with aerial photo map and gave me a brief history of the neighborhood. Best service from any auto shop ever.

Fast, friendly, thorough and reasonably priced. I will bring my metric car back to Foreign Auto Service Technicians, Inc. next time I need work done.

OMG! I just LOVE this place!! I work on the graveyard shift, and we work 16 hour shifts. They are usually able to accommodate me. Last time I was there, they were able to assist me and fix my problem by the time I went to lunch. They had me on my way so I was able to go home and get some sleep before work.They have always been able to fix the problems with my Unicorn ? (older, rare car). She's a 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio.They are super nice and very knowledgeable about my car ?.

Jim is the best mechanic in Santa Fe. Great communication on your car and great prices. Only place I bring my Volkswagen and Audi to in New Mexico.
