Family-Owned, 50+ Years of Continuous Operation With Technicians Greensboro Trusts

Foreign Accents has been locally owned and operated in Greensboro for 50+ years — not a franchise, not a chain. Randy and Scott built this shop's reputation on one principle: hire trained technicians who know the vehicle in front of them. Both locations — West Market Street and Spring Garden Street — operate under the same ownership and the same standards, so you get the same quality of work no matter which shop is closest to you.

Every technician at Foreign Accents is fully trained to work on both foreign and domestic vehicles. Whether you bring in a BMW, a Honda, a Subaru, a Ford, or a Chevrolet, the diagnosis and repair come from real experience — not guesswork. Fifty-plus years in business is a product of repeat customers and community trust, not marketing. If you want a shop that has earned its reputation one repair at a time, we'd like to earn yours.


What Greensboro Drivers Say About Foreign Accents

We let our customers speak for us—all reviews come directly from our verified Google Business Profiles.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My daughter was traveling through Greensboro from out of town when she experienced engine trouble. I reached out to a friend for a recommendation, and he recommended Foreign Accents. Scott and team did a great job, arranged for the car to be towed to their shop, correctly identified the issue and repaired it in a timely fashion for a reasonable price. Honestly, as someone who doesn't live in Greensboro, the opportunity may have been there to try to upsale me on additional unnecessary repairs, and they did not do that. They even washed the car before pickup! 100% recommend.iption

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have known the business owners / Brothers Randy and Scott for 25 years. They are exceptional human beings. This matters a great deal because the core foundation of any business is the character and leadership of the owners. And they do good work simply because they Care.


John Henry


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Broke down on a trip passing through. My vehicle is unique requiring expertise and understanding outside of normal repair shops. Foreign Accents fixed me up quickly, were extremely accommodating, and some of the nicest people you'll encounter. 10/10 recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Actually visited James at Autofocus but Foreign Accents has been my Joan's go to mechanic for many years. Fast and reliable.


Picking up our very well sorted, new to us, Toyota Highlander tomorrow morning.


Tom Ryner


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had purchased a beautiful Volvo from AutoFocus, we noticed an issue with the a/c that would not have been obvious. Foreign Accents fixed it free of charge and had it back to me the next day. Phenomenal service, we will definitely be going back for regular maintenance (and to buy our next vehicle!). Stellar experience.


Jacob Stewart


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Took my BMW X3 in to check my coolant leak. Was greeted by Scott, the owner who took my vehicle back to a bay where Steve, the technician checked under the hood. Both men were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They detected a leak in my upper radiator hose. They were very thorough in showing me and telling me what was needed, and they gave me an estimate for the repairs. Scheduled an appointment for next day. Dropped off vehicle next morning and the vehicle was repaired in a timely manner for a reasonable price. The staff treats you like family and really cares and appreciates your business. I give them 5 stars and my highest recommendation!!
