Brad's Foreign & Domestic of Encinitas
Servicing The North County Since 1984

Brad's Foreign Car first opened it's doors in 1984. Owned and operated back then by Brad Young. It started off as a smaller scale shop with only 2 bays and 2 technicians.

By 1990, Brad Young was tired of running Brad's Foreign Car and wanted to make some major life changes. The shop was purchased by it's current owner... Mathew Cooper.

Mathew Cooper has built the company up to what it is today. It is now known as Brad's Foreign & Domestic. All of us here strive for customer satisfaction. Our company which only serviced foreign cars back in the day has expanded to meet our every customers needs, now servicing domestic cars as well. We are very fortunate that 75% of our new customers come from referrals "word of mouth", and for that reason our main and only goal is keeping everyone of our customers happy.

Our shop itself has expanded over the years as well. We now have 11 bays and 5 technicians. All of our technicians are ASE certified and specialize in customer satisfaction.
