Shoreline Foreign Auto Repair

My brother and I had never been to this business before. It was recommended to us by the owner of another car mechanic business that my brother trusted. I can certainly see why this place was recommended. Everyone there was a kind knowledgeable professional. We had a time critical (to us) request on a Friday afternoon and though they were busy, they fit the job in, as decided by one of the two owners himself. For this visit Paolo in the office and John the mechanic that did the work were the ones involved, and both were terrific. This place specializes in European cars. If you have a European car, a Mercedes in our case, this is a great place to take it for maintenance and repair. We consider it a great discovery.

I can't say enough good things about the Car Tender team. Friendly, proactive, and straight-up. They're the partners I want in keeping my car up to speed. Highest recommendation.

Worked through some challenging issues with these guys. Not an easy situation for them or for us, but found John to be a stand up business man.

Quick service. Nice, competent staff.

Took my custom tuned BMW 335 with Pure Turbos to Car Tender for the first time to investigate a boost leak. The shop's lead tech found the leak as well as another one, plugged them up and now my car is hitting boost levels I've never achieved before. Night and day difference and I couldn't be happier with the service! Thanks guys!!!

I was an out of state buyer and these guys are amazing. I needed a PPI done on a Mercedes Benz E55 AMG and spoke to John on the phone. He was super helpful in scheduling a time for inspection on short notice. I learnt that he’s been racing cars for years in his spare time and I could tell right away that I could trust his judgement on this car. And for as much as he knows about European cars, he also knows when something could be handled better under someone else’s eyes. His tech, David, performed the inspection on this car and went through everything he found that raised concern. Telling me which issues to prioritize first. He walked me through everything from subpar coolant, to old suspension, to notes about transmission shifting. Comfortingly, David shared that he has a ML-500 which shares the same engine as mine. He knew what to look over on this Mercedes and I was now confident I could drive it 1100 miles back home. As I walked out, he was working on a 1960s Austin Healey, fine tuning fuel on its carbureted engine. Paolo is another one of the great people working under John, an avid enthusiast who takes great care of cars and customers alike. If he is your first point of contact, you’re in good hands and will be guided towards the best course of action for getting your car working as good as possible. He, along with everyone at this garage, is interested in getting your car to be in great working order. These guys and this shop are standout. If you have a European car, this is the place to take it to.

I’ve been a customer of Car Tender since the early 90s. They have worked on all of my cars from classics through daily drivers. They have always been the best.

I had the best experience with Car Tender. My car was in for 2 weeks with major amount of work to be done. I was kept informed every step of the way and all my questions were answered in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Car Tender for your Mercedes.

Great service. They did an awesome job. Kept me updated on the process, Honest about their work, and quick
