Phil’s Foreign Car Service

These guys are incredible. Nice, honest, and do incredible work. With only 85k miles, my 745 Li needed MAJOR engine work. BMW told me it would be cheaper to replace the engine. They said the new one would be at least $ 10K, fix mine would be $ 12k. Phil’s did the work on my existing engine for $ 7K. The car came back clean, inspected, and runs like it’s just out of the showroom. Gas mileage has improved 2 MPG city… looking forward to a road trip to see where we are on highway mileage. I wish I would have found them 4 years ago.
They are outstanding.

At Phils, you always receive full attention and the best service. I appreciate that Phil, Walter and his staff have an attention to detail that is second to none. It’s sadly rare that you hear a mechanic talk about proper diagnosis in this day and age. Phil will make darn sure to get the diagnosis right saving everyone time and money in the long run. The shop is clean, organized, and well-​stocked. The staff is friendly, and the restroom tidy.
If you own an older VW, BMW, Audi, Volvo or indeed any foreign car, Phil is your man. He worked on these cars when they were new and he knows the ins and outs like nobody else in the area. Phil may not be the cheapest in the area, but if you want cheap results, go elsewhere. The shop turns out quality work at a fair price. Any disputes I’ve ever had were handled quickly and fairly to both parties.
Case in point, I had a wheel bearing replaced in my Audi S4, which failed shortly after it was out of warranty. Phil was under no obligation to go into his own checkbook for this since the part was not technically under warranty anymore, but since it failed unusually early, he went half on the deal with me. Tell me your dealer shop would do that.
Even years after moving away, if I’m in the area visiting friends or family and I need service, I stop in at Phil’s.
