My wife and I each drive a Mecerdes and we will not let any other mechanics service our vehicles! Nuff said.

I came to World Foreign Car Service after finding out I needed a catalytic converter replaced and thought it was so expensive I should have it priced somewhere other than the dealer. Sam gave me a price of one-half the amount quoted realizing that he was not replacing all the piping, etc. which a dealer is required to replace. However, if I had wanted that done he would have sold me the part with his discount. Just received a call that my car was ready and he discovered that the converter did not need to be replaced, only the bracket holding it. Therefore, instead of a bill of over $600 from him (and what would have been twice that from dealer) , it cost me $68. I feel like I have received a pay raise! They have won my loyalty!

World Foreign Car has provided us and our cars excellent service for 15 plus years. Sam is straight forward, and honest. He completes the job in a timely manner .and at a reasonable price.He and Joe and their mechanics are top notch. Jim Covington

Having used World Auto for a few repairs on my 2001 S430 in the past as a single woman, I was quite satisfied with my service and ALWAYS treated like a lady by the two gentlemen owners. In fact I was recommended by another women who raved about their integrity and good workmanship.

Now having just been married I introduced my husband to World Automotive and he is so impressed with the diagnostic abilities of Joe the owner and the business sense of Sam, that we just made a major purchase of a 2008 S550, then had Sam broker our old car too. We plan on sending all our friends!

I can't possibly imagine what Mrs. Bandes is speaking about! The people at World Foreign Car Service are very professional!

World Foreign Car Service is simply the best independent Mercedes shop in the Richmond area. The owners/technicians have rebuilt my 722.4 transmission, replaced my 4matic CV boots, and installed my new waterpump among many other things. The work quality is amazing! This is a family-run business that does an honest job.

Every time I call the shop, Sam and Joe give me expert advice and even help with do-it-yourself projects. The lot at World Foreign Car is full of everything from 80s diesel W123s to late-model S class W221s...a testament to their true expertise.

I could not help but contrast my experience with that of the preceding reviewer. I cannot imagine this kind of behavior based on my experience.

I called after finding World Foreign Car Service on this website. I spoke with Joe and described my problem (I could not get my glove box open). Joe said he could pretty much envision what was wrong and could fix it in five minutes. I said I'd be there shortly, as I was in the neighborhood.

When I arrived, somehow Joe, whom I'd never seen, discerned that I was the one he had talked to. I was in the process of parking, when he said to just sit where I was. He went to work on the glove box; and though it took about 15 minutes, he fixed it expertly. When I tried to pay him, he waved me off and said it was no charge.

So, I then made an appointment with him to fix two other issues with my car, both of which were not critical. He said to just bring it by; and he'd take care of it. He gave me an estimate for the extra work that I considered to be quite reasonable, considering what I had been paying the Mercedes Dealership.

I have only accolades for Joe and this establishment. They are mechanics (and good ones at that). They are not into uptown manners - so, I can see how the lady might have misinterpreted something they might have said. But, for my money, rude, loud, or otherwise, I'll take them any day.

I used World Foreign Car Service for several years. I never stinted on the work that I was told needed to be done. I always paid my bill in full immediately . Yet every single time I took my car there, I was treated like a second class citizen. I was yelled at by the owner, Sam, and talked to very rudely. I finally had my husband take the car in, and he was treated properly, like a good paying customer ( I know this , as I was with him at the time). I finally realized that Sam treated men differently than women as customers. It is a pity. They did a good job at a reasonable price. But treating a customer in a consistently rude manner is no way to run a business.
