I recently bought a used vehicle from them, and was very impressed by the service and responsiveness. Dejan was great to deal with, answered all my questions promptly, and kept me informed every step of the way. The car itself is fantastic; no issues or concerns have surfaced since I picked it up.
It was a bit of a trek to get to Kitchener, but I'm glad I did; it's been one of the most positive car-buying experiences I've ever had.

First time there. I just needed and oil change and some tires swapped, so I can store my summer car. but I don't like to take my car to just anywhere. I was referred to them by another garage that I usually go to. They were booked up but said if I drop of the car for the day they could squeeze me in, I was happy with that.
When I got there I asked if I could at least get it back before it got dark because I was coming 40mins from out of town. Ian said well then I'll get you in right now, so you don't have to drive all the way home and back to come get the car again. I was completely blown away at the consideration for my situation.
They came out to help take the tires out of my car, and Brenden the tech who worked on my car was really helpful and polite. Nice clean shop with a great waiting room, super friendly from the front staff to the techs...I highly recommend!

These guys were fantastic, never been before they didn’t even know who I was. I needed two security studs removed to change my winter tires. VW told me it was gonna be a month! These guys told me to stop by and they had it done and replaced my studs for me! Would definitely come back in a heartbeat! Thanks a lot guys!

Recently just purchased a vehicle for Foreign Automotive and the buying experience was tremendous. Friendly, knowledgeable staff that actually care about the customer, particularly Jason and Dejan. It was the small things that really sets them apart from other dealerships I have been to. The first being the test drive as they said here are the keys, take all the time you need and don't rush it. Typically the dealership likes to tag along and ramble on about what they like, and you can never really actually drive the car like you want to with them in it. Having the guys from foreign automotive even take a minute to point out how to get the to freeway for my test drive was quite refreshing. The second item I loved about these guys was how easy going they were. Not being pressured into making a deal right away and being told to go home and think about it was a perspective I haven't really seen at any other dealership. All together this made for a buying experience that was actually enjoyable and straight forward. Great guys at Foreign automotive, (Jason and Dejan took care of me), and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality German car.

Previously, this review was for a single star due to poor communication and long wait times. After becoming aware of the issue I've experienced as a customer, Ian reached out and made it right. I appreciate the folks at Foreign for taking responsibility, and can absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking to take their cars to a forthcoming and dedicated shop.

Recently purchased a vehicle from Foreign Automotive, and we are thrilled. Dan was amazing to deal with and the staff were always very friendly and helpful when Dan was with another customer. Truly a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. We can't wait to return back to Foreign Automotive for our first service visit. 5 Stars across the board!

Amazing mechanic! Love this place! Always friendly, gets my vehicle in quick and has it back to me in no time. So patient, honest and the bill is always lower than I anticipated! As a woman I used to get nervous going to the mechanic but now I have full trust I will be treated fairly and honest. Keep it up boys!

I have been servicing my Volkwagens at Foreign automotive for the past 4 years and counting... Always a pleasure bringing in my Volkswagen. Jay and Ian are very knowledgable individuals with giving advice or just chatting, on top of that the specialized mechanics in the back are respectful and, also part of the community! Reliable, reputable, fair prices!! Keep it up guys!

I was referred to Foreign Automotive by my VW mechanic for a Unitronic tune. They performed the tune and added an engine mount insert to alleviate the possibility of wheel hop. The tune delivered as promised but I did not care for the vibration the engine mount caused while idling. They removed the engine mount at my request and refunded me for the parts and labour that same day managing to fit me in between other scheduled appointments. The staff was informative and accommodating. They really exceeded my expectations and would highly recommend them to anyone. I will be a repeat customer for certain.

I attended Foreign Automotive's open house and while I was there asked for a quote on new tires. The quote came in over $100 cheaper than the competition and the tires were ordered while I was standing there.
Knowledgeable staff knew the size of my tires without needing to look it up, and when I had issues with the old tires they rebooked my appointment the following day.
Excellent staff, friendly, knowledgeable and extremely welcoming!
Proud to have had my car worked on by Foreign Automotive...
I would recommend them to everyone!
Thanks again!!

I came across Foreign Automotive while looking on a vw/audi community page for parts, which leads me to my first point. Not many companies are active in the community which is a refreshing change with Foreign Automotive. From my first experience months back I purchased a big brake kit from them, the plan was to pick them up and be on my way. On the contrary I was there for over 2 hours by choice simply chatting away with Ian who is another fellow enthusiast and his knowledge and experience was welcomed. The professionalism simply does not end there, Jason the owner has been in the industry for a long time and his team of top notch technicians and sales staff make you feel part of the family. Its a pleasure feeling like a friend and not just a number!
Furthermore I recently had some work done by these guys and they went above and beyond my expectations. Anyone who knows me knows my car is my baby and I don't trust many with it. But when I drop my car off at Foreign Automotive I know its in good hands. The techs did a fantastic job and made sure I was more then happy before I left and answered all my questions I had.
Foreign Automotive is my one stop shop for oem and aftermarket parts alike and is well worth the hour drive.

Super knowledgable staff, can get anything you want, cheaper than you can find it yourself, and tons of cars and parts keep you occupied while you wait. My car was ready before I was ready to leave.
Big thanks to Ian, Jason, Blake, and the rest of the team at Foreign Automotive for making me feel welcome this morning!
