Foreign & Classic Auto Centre

History

Established in 1981.

The initial concept for this business was to provide professional type service to a unique foreign car and classic car market… particularly, Porsches and Street Rods. Through our relationship with our Porsche customers and our desire to meet all of their automotive needs, we found ourselves gaining extensive knowledge and experience servicing other type vehicles. With this expanded expertise, we began pursuing service business on all luxury German, English, Japanese, as well as some luxury domestic type vehicles. Our Street Rod or «classic» efforts reduced to include mostly some unique projects on older «special interest cars» or «performance modified cars» belonging to our «car buff» customers.

Servicing luxury type vehicles has introduced us to some of the finest people in the cities of Shreveport and Bossier, as well as surrounding cities in the ArkLaTex. Our reputation has grown throughout this community and we continually strive to build on one of honesty and integrity.

Meet the Business Owner

Charlie J.

Business Owner

Charlie has not only been an avid car enthusiast since teenage years, but worked in the automotive business since graduation from high school. He worked as parts and service manager for a Volkswagen and Porsche dealer, as well as manager for a small independent repair facility before deciding to thrust his endeavors toward his own interests… Porsches. The present business evolved when Charlie decided to find another location, other than his home garage, to do the Porsche repairs he was doing for friends. After much prayer and searching, the Mansfield Road location became available with all the necessary shop, office, and parts space needed. With a total of three men, the business began with only the promise of friends to bring their Porsches for service. Thus started an exciting and, sometimes anxious, progression of a business that grew to a size that initiated the eventual move in August, 1987 to it’s second location on Mansfield Road and then in 2003 to our present location.
