Mercedes-Benz the way it should be serviced
We have been working on Mercedes for over two decades. Your car will be looked at by a technician who has seen the platform before, knows the common failure points, and does the work to factory spec.
Mercedes-Benz service at our Kitchener workshop includes Service A and B, fault diagnosis and mechanical repairs. We welcome drivers from Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph, with appointments planned around the vehicle and work required.
Our XENTRY STAR diagnostic system supports fault tracing alongside inspection and testing. A warning message is the starting point: we explain what the checks show and discuss the proposed repair before you approve it.
Whether your Mercedes needs Service A, a suspension assessment or help with a transmission concern, bring its year, model, mileage and service history. We confirm the maintenance items due, parts availability and estimate for your vehicle.

Why Mercedes owners switch to us
Why Foreign Automotive over the Mercedes Dealer
Faster booking. Most jobs go in within the week. Dealer wait times in K-W are routinely two to three weeks.
Clear estimate. We explain the proposed parts and labour before you approve the work.
Transparent pricing. We quote the work before we start it. No surprise additions on pickup.
Same diagnostic tools. Mercedes-Benz XENTRY STAR is on the shop floor. We read what the dealer reads.
Service records. Keep records of completed work and tell us about any existing warranty coverage.
Mercedes specialists, not generalists. Our technicians work on these platforms every day. Pattern recognition matters when the diagnostic codes do not tell the full story.
What Mercedes owners say
Reviews from local Mercedes drivers
A small sample from our 521 Google reviews.
★★★★★
"Quoted me half what the dealer wanted for a Service B on my E-Class. Same parts, work was done in two days, and the service record is documented properly. Will not go back to the dealer."

2018 Mercedes-Benz E400
★★★★★
"Took my C63 AMG in for an exhaust install and ECU calibration. They put it on the dyno, showed me the gains, and walked me through everything they did. Real specialists who know AMG."
— Customer review · Waterloo
2020 Mercedes-AMG C63 S
★★★★★
"Took the GLE in for a transmission shudder another shop could not diagnose. Foreign Automotive isolated it on the XENTRY, replaced the valve body, and the truck shifts perfect again. Worth the drive from Burlington."

Common questions
Mercedes Service FAQ
Eight things Mercedes owners in K-W ask before they book.
Do you do Mercedes Service A and Service B in Kitchener?
Yes. We perform Service A and Service B to factory specification using genuine Mercedes-Benz fluids and filters or OE-quality equivalents. The service indicator gets reset and we provide a written record of what was done so your service history stays complete.
What Mercedes models do you work on?
Every current Mercedes-Benz on the road. Modern: C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, CLA, CLS, GLA, GLB, GLC, GLE, GLS, G-Class, Maybach, Sprinter, Metris, SL, AMG GT, and EQ electric models. AMG variants from C43 through the GT Black Series. For vehicles older than 25 years, reach out with the details and we will let you know if we are a fit.
Will using an independent shop void my factory warranty?
Tell us about any remaining warranty before booking. Coverage depends on its terms and the work involved. Keep your service records and check the applicable requirements with your warranty provider.
How does your pricing compare to the Mercedes-Benz dealer?
We prepare an estimate for the work your Mercedes-Benz needs. Price depends on the diagnosis, parts and labour involved. Share your vehicle details and any existing written estimate so we can compare the scope.
Can you diagnose a Mercedes check engine light?
Yes. We use XENTRY STAR diagnostics alongside inspection and testing to investigate the warning. Share the exact message, when it appears and any running symptoms. We discuss the diagnostic scope and charge before proceeding.
Do you service AMG cars?
AMG is one of our specialties. We work on the M156 6.2L V8, M157 5.5L biturbo V8, M177 4.0L biturbo V8, M178 4.0L biturbo V8 (AMG GT), M133 turbo four (CLA45, A45), and the older M113K supercharged V8. ECU tuning, exhaust upgrades, suspension, and brake work are all done in-house.
What if my Mercedes needs a part you do not have in stock?
We check the specific part and supplier availability, then discuss sourcing and timing with you. Delivery depends on the part and stock status; confirm availability before planning your visit.
Do you offer pickup, drop-off, or shuttle service?
Yes. We arrange local pickup and drop-off within Kitchener-Waterloo for most service visits and have shuttle service available during your appointment so you do not have to wait at the shop. Mention it when you book and we will set it up.
