About Jensen's Foreign Car Service

Jensen's Foreign Car Service is an auto repair shop in San Jose, California. It is listed at 5811 Winfield Blvd, San Jose, CA 95123, which places it among the local businesses of San Jose that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Google also lists it under brake shop, transmission shop, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.

Auto repair in the United States is split between independent shops, dealership service departments and national chains. Independents handle most routine work (oil changes, brakes, tune-ups, check-engine diagnostics) at lower labor rates and often specialize in one make or in imports; dealers keep factory tools, software and warranty authority; chains sell speed and standard pricing on maintenance items. Most shops charge a diagnostic fee, credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and quote parts and labor separately. Certification matters: look for ASE-certified technicians and, in many states, a state repair license posted at the counter. Written estimates are required by law in most states before work begins, and you are entitled to your old parts if you ask.

Hours are published for 5 days a week. On most of those days it is open 7:30 am–4:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Saturday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (408) 225-5252. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, jensensforeigncarservice.com.

The Good: At first they were amazing. The Really Bad: After a couple of months bringing my car in for routine services, my coolant tube started to leak and the light came on. I brought the car back to Jensen's they fixed it for $1200. Two months later, same problem, this time they charged $800. A month after, problem reoccured, again they charged $800. We were getting tired of the coolant kept leaking and over $3000 "donated" to the Jensens. The forth time it leaked after just one month being "fixed", we took our car to another shop in Campbell. Problem gone. We reported them to BBB. Curiously, Jensen's deleted their old account and reapplied to BBB so that their slate is clean. Very dissapointed. Feel we have been ripped off and scammed by Jensen's Foreign Auto.

I've been taking my cars to Jensen for years. They are always very friendly, honest, and explain in detail what is to be done beforehand. When I needed it, they let me have their courtesy car.

I was visiting the San Jose area and the check engine light in my Honda Civic hybrid came on during my trip there. I was worried about it because I was heading to a remote campground in the sierras afterward. Friends recommended Mick's in Santa Cruz where I was and, although the shop was super busy, they took the time to check the codes and found that the fuel was running "lean" but they didn't have time to do further work. Since I was headed to San Jose, other friends suggested Jensen's. They didn't have time to see the car, either, but the person who answered the phone (wish I'd gotten her name), was so knowledgeable and helpful and reassured me about continuing my trip. She checked with another mechanic and confirmed her opinion. I made my whole trip and got home with no problem, and I felt so much more confident thanks to kind, experienced folks at both places.

I've been going to Jensen's after making the poor mistake of letting wheel works work on my car. After 3 months there, I took it to Jensen's and they solved the problem in one day. Since then every problem I can't fix, I take to Jensen's. Very friendly and do amazing work.

Excellent service, friendly staff and family-owned. If you are buying a used car I highly recommend having it checked here. They just saved me thousands of dollars on a potential disaster car. Bob went over each problem with the car in great detail, pointing them out on the car as he went along and making sure I saw them and understood why they were problems. This is by far the best shop I've ever been to - I just wish it was closer to me.
