Foreign Auto Specialist - Arcata (CA)

5 /5 Teresa Fogolini: Petr has taken excellent care of my 2006 Toyota Highlander for the past 4 years. He is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dependable.

5 /5 M B: Im so happy with Foreign Auto Specialist. Petr is very knowledgeable and HONEST. Ive taken my car here twice and he did a very thorough inspection and found something wrong with my car I wasnt even aware of. Im glad he caught it before it turned into an even more expensive nightmare. We are planning to get it fixed (he prefers OEM parts, which I also prefer) and it wont be cheap, but I trust my vehicle is in good hands and will be done correctly. I highly suggest taking your Toyota to him for a full inspection. It is well worth it.

5 /5 Doris Hartmann: Ladies! Gentlemen! If you drive a car manufactured by Toyota, read on. Are you looking for an honest, knowledgeable, dependable and meticulous car mechanic who takes pride in his work, then look no further. The ladies can take their cars to Petr without having to fear being taken advantage of. The gents of course can do the same. Petr will work hard not to disappoint you. Go ahead, and check him out!

5 /5 SasquatchSurfs: Petr is not only the best mechanic I have ever had in my 23 years of driving, but he is the most honest as well. He never upsells, but he always recommends using original manufactured parts. If he knows you are mechanically inclined, hell point out maintenance you can do on your own, while also happily accepting more paid work from you. Yes its true, he only works on Toyota based vehicles (Scion and Lexus included) and is a one-man shop. So the expertise and attention to detail never is lacking. I am so grateful to have him here in our little town on the redwood coast. I know the better the review the busier hell be, but I gotta help keep him in business so I can keep driving my vehicles down the road.

5 /5 Carolan Raleigh-Halsing: Price, costumer service, and the work is great! I’ve had a lot of issues with my car and Petr hung in tough with all the twists and turns. When a yet another mystery issue came up with my car Petr worked with me to come up with a solution we both felt was fair. He is a great communicator, and an honest, respectful, and reliable mechanic. Every time I brought my car in here, even just for an oil change the service was above an beyond - Petr often couldn’t help but make sure everything he could see was in working order. I never felt like he was trying to up sell me on anything. He would explain the essential needs of my car and the potential future issues clearer and honestly. I was always treated with a lot of respect and I could tell by the attention and care to detail that Petr really puts his all into the cars he works on. I wish I had a Toyota so I could still bring my car into this place!
