I sent "Business Purposes" to University Foreign Car in order for them to inspect a Volvo I purchased from BP on eBay after he told me the car had been vandalized since the auction end. Apparently the drivers side window had been smashed. When I connected with Paul at University he could not have been more kind and understanding, agreeing to look over the car for a VERY reasonable charge. I called him as a complete stranger from Philadelphia, mind you. Once the inspection was complete I received conflicting reports from University and "Business Purposes" about the car and its issues. The vandalized window was yet a bigger door issue that Paul did not feel confident he could solve and fix to the degree he likes to complete work. He also informed me that the car needed basic brake and suspension work and had been re-sprayed. I had much more confidence in what I was hearing from Paul rather than the mixed bag of used car sale BS from "Business Purposes" Needless to say both University and I were not interested in doing business with "Business Purposes". It is a shame he feels the need to throw mud at an upstanding auto repair business with a plethora of great reviews. I recommend you read on and take "business purposes" review with a grain of salt.

I used to hear many nice things about this place. Mechanics are super experienced and that is a positive plus yet, I had a simple shattered drivers window that they refused to do the work on because as (Paul-owner or manager) says "it looks like too much going on in the door". Honestly if a place is repairing engine internals, suspension, and transmissions on foreign cars, youd think a window would be a cake walk for them. To then quote me over 2k worth of work but over pricing brakes at around $200 for $40 parts...I understand markups but geese. Again the other mechanics are SUPER awesome and nice, but Paul, as described to me as a great nice honest guy, was very rude towards me and I even overheard him yelling to other customers. I own a business as well so I understand having a bad day and maybe it was an off day but this was by far one of the worst experiences and Ive done great business with many of shops and I have never encountered that type of treatment. But again, the other employees were super nice and intellectual indeed.

Paul is the best. We drive across the city (literally) to take our cars to him because he has always been more than honest with us. He has even done small repairs for no charge. He knows his stuff and has taken care of our VW Jettas for three years now, as well as done work for our Ford Ranger. His prices are unbeatable in our experience, and he even advised my husband about replacing an engine coil himself since we were trying to save money. I trust Paul unreservedly and always recommend him to friends.

Took my Volvo XC90 in recently; air conditioner blower gave up the ghost. Paul was fair and efficient. I was happy with the outcome. Ill be back.

Repaired transmission on my Volvo for less than half of cost of replacement, which is what 2 other shops claimed needed to be done. Running great!

Fantastic, honest service. We were traveling cross country when the check engine light of our Volvo came on (oh no!
