Frank's Foreign Car

Recently, I encountered a significant issue with my 911 Carrera Turbo - the serpentine belt gave out while I was navigating the challenging roads of the Hollywood Hills. After reaching out to two Porsche dealerships in Los Angeles and receiving a disappointing response that they couldn't even take a look at my car, I found myself in a bit of a predicament. This led me to tow my vehicle an extensive 71 miles to Frank's Foreign Auto Repair in San Clemente, a decision that turned out to be incredibly fortuitous. From the moment I contacted Frank's, I was met with a level of customer service that was not just refreshing but far beyond what I had recently experienced with the official dealerships. They were not only willing to take in my car immediately but also began work on it the very next morning. Throughout the repair process, their communication was exemplary, keeping me informed and at ease. What truly sets Frank's Foreign Auto Repair apart is not just their prompt and efficient service but their fairness in pricing. It was clear from the outset that they operate with a high degree of integrity and transparency, something that is becoming increasingly rare in the automotive repair industry. Moreover, their expertise with Porsche vehicles impressed me. The quality of work performed on my 911 Carrera Turbo was on par with, if not superior to, what one would expect from a Porsche dealership. It's evident that the team at Frank's possesses a deep understanding of high-performance vehicles and treats every car with the care and respect it deserves. In summary, if you're seeking a reliable, honest, and highly skilled auto repair service, look no further than Frank's Foreign Auto Repair. Their exceptional customer service, fair pricing, and automotive expertise not only met but exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any car owner who values the well-being of their vehicle and appreciates a truly professional service experience. A heartfelt thank you to the team at Frank's for turning a potentially stressful situation into a remarkably positive one.

If you’re looking for friendly, efficient and cost effective service, look no further than Frank’s! I’ve brought my car to them over the last two years and always left with superior results and feeling confident in the service they provided. Everyone on the team at Frank’s Foreign Car is awesome and super helpful! From Hector at the front desk getting my paperwork sorted to Hugo diligently inspecting and working on my car to Joe making sure nothing falls through the cracks, these guys are all at the top of their game! I drive a Japanese imported diesel van and when other garages refused to even let me bring it in, the team at Frank’s always found a way to work on it, whether it was a routine oil change or putting together a new starter after oil leakage. They were also frank in their advice regarding both repairs and potential new purchases. The best garage I’ve worked with in my 10 years driving Japanese cars - and that’s not even their specialty! I can’t recommend them enough!

The best shop ever! Go to Joe! I have been to a lot of mechanics and have bought 2 cars within the span 7 months. My car started having issues so i took it to the dealership, and 2 different mechanics. Both quoted me a few to several grand. Joe quickly got to an inspection, and told me everything that was necessary to be repaired and things that were also not even a problem that the previous mechanics told me. Joe is super honest, reliable, professional. We worked out a plan to repair my car. As of yesterday I bought a new car, and he was willing to inspect it in the middle of the day when i called and test drive it to see if it was a good fit for me and safe. I cannot recommend this place more, and I’m so incredibly grateful that I found it. Without Joe, I wouldn’t know what to do. I am genuinely so grateful for all the professional help at Frank Foreign cars. If you have any car problems, go to Joe! Thank you!

Very professional, very kind……my car is old and they took me to the car while on lift to show me some things to look out for….pretty obvious they are quite experienced

Amazing staff, amazing service, so honest and genuine and kind. They have kept my Toyota 4Runner running perfectly with 334k miles on it. Last month I bought an Outback from them and it took 15 minutes. They gave me the price I asked for and I'm so happy with it. You gotta love Joe and Hector and Hugo and all of them!
