Bought our first minivan here just last week (trading in our SUV), and the experience was fantastic! Friendly staff, fair pricing, and they made the whole thing easy. I'll be back!

Awesome experience with this family-run business. Would recommend to everyone; honest, fair, knowledgeable staff who do their best to accomodate you. Thank you to Ann & everyone at Fosters for their assistance with the purchase of my new Jetta!

I've had the most pleasant experience dealing with entire Foster Auto family, especially Mike as I was in contact with him the most. They took care of everything, all I had to do was sign on the dotted line. I sold my vehicle here and Mike was extremely honest, fair (pricing wise) and understanding in the entire process. If I was in the market to purchase a vehicle, I'd definitely be coming back to Foster because of the emphasis they put on customer service and care.

I recently purchased a 2018 Subaru Forester from Foster Auto Group and I couldn't be happier! When I Googled this dealership and saw their rating, I made an appointment right away - and I'm really glad that I did! Paul and Mike were so helpful, and the entire process was seamless and stress-free. Mike went above and beyond - in several ways - to help me get into the vehicle I wanted. The customer service was excellent, and they were honest and upfront about everything. I would absolutely recommend Foster Auto Group to family and friends!

I recently purchased a 2015 Civic from Mike and the entire experience was wonderful. He was very personable while shopping without being pushy at all. He was incredibly accommodating by offering us to take the car for a ride without hesitation, even though his hours had ended for the day. Even after the deposit had been placed on the car he was available for any questions I might have had before it was ready for pickup. His service speaks for itself and I cannot recommend him or his business more highly.

I purchased a VW Jetta through Fosters, & Mike was a huge help navigating my schedule and communicating with my partner who arranged to test drive the car for me. He went above & beyond to ensure that the car was certified for us, & was incredibly generous with everything surrounding the purchase. Mike is incredibly trustworthy, & I will certainly be revisiting in the future. I highly recommend connecting with Fosters Auto if you are looking for a seamless sale. I cannot thank Mike enough for all of his help & generosity!

Honest, professional, with great selection of cars. We appreciated the effort put in for the customer.
Mike was a huge help when we had to purchase a new vehicle after an accident; it was a bit of a time crunch and the budget was limited, but we felt in no way pressured or taken advantage of. His vehicles are in excellent condition and very reasonably priced. He did a great job tuning up the car for certification and it drives great.

Amazing car buying experience start to finish at a fair price! I highly recommend buying from Foster Auto.
I originally called Foster because I was interested in a very specific model and trim. Mike was very helpful throughout the whole process. He answered all my questions (even about the little things) on the phone and in person. He was very frank and honest with me and, when I visited in person, gave me plenty of time with the car. The most important thing is that there was no pressure to close.
I put down a deposit a couple of days later with some conditions and once again Mike was excellent

As a female purchasing a used car, it can be nerve racking, afraid you'll be taken advantage of, pressured into buying something you don't want etc.
Mike made made buying a used car a breeze, he gave honest feedback and was more than fair throughout the entire process.
With my hectic schedule, he went above and beyond trying to make things easier for me. It gave me confidence in my car choice (I ended up purchasing a Passat.)
Award winning family run, bottom line - they have fair policies in place that are sure their clients will be coming back.
Would highly recommend Fosters for your

I bought a Miata from Foster Auto, 4-days later there was an issue with the engine light. Mike & Ann told me to skip the back-yard mechanics and go straight to the dealer for a proper fix. They covered the full cost of the repair at the Mazda dealership. Hats off to Mike & Ann for taking care of their customers and backing the cars they sell.

Mike had been great to deal with and went out of his way to accommodate my dad. We drove over 2 hours to look at a car and Mike took care of everything. Bought the car and will be back! Highly recommend this place.

Whether you are looking for a thousand dollar beater or an optioned out front line vehicle Foster Auto goes above and beyond any of the majors. Ann, Paul and Mike are the most friendly and accomodating sales staff I've had the pleasure of meeting. Very happy with my Beater Beetle,!

Best in class service. Absolutely painless transaction. The collective experience in this family business is clearly apparent from the moment you darken their door. They don't disappoint.

I've just recently bought a VW Golf from Foster Auto Group and it was the best car shopping experience I've ever had. Great experience right from the moment I got there, until I was driving away in my new VW. Anne along with all the staff I interacted with were patient, sincere, and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone… looking for a new car and I know they will be the place I go to down the road when I'm ready to replace this Golf. Car dealerships usually have bad reputations and can be intimidating. You can walk into Foster Auto Group with confidence. Thanks again
