Our story
Foreign Automotive was founded out of a love for fine engineering and performance. What started as a vision to offer superior maintenance and performance services for European and exotic cars in Kitchener-Waterloo has grown into a state-of-the-art facility, equipped to meet the needs of even the most discerning vehicle owners across southern Ontario.
Our home at 30 Adam Ferrie Place, Kitchener represents a major step forward in our journey. With expanded space, factory-grade diagnostic equipment, and an in-house MAHA all-wheel drive dynamometer, we’re not just growing in size — we’re expanding our capabilities to better serve our loyal clients and new visitors from Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton, and the Greater Toronto Area.
From a single shop bay to a full European-and-exotic service destination, the mission has stayed the same: treat every car like it’s our own, fix it right the first time, and never charge dealer prices for dealer-level work.

OEMParts & Procedures
What we do
We specialize in servicing and maintaining some of the most prestigious vehicles on the road — from European luxury daily-drivers to high-end exotics. Whether it’s a routine oil change on a BMW M3, a full performance tune on an AMG GT, or a clutch replacement on a Ferrari, our master technicians handle every project with factory-level care and detail.
Repairs & Diagnostics
BMW ISTA+, Mercedes-Benz XENTRY, Audi/VW ODIS, Porsche PIWIS, Ferrari SD3 — the same factory diagnostic platforms the dealers run. Engine, electrical, transmission, suspension, ADAS, drivetrain.
Performance Upgrades
ECU/TCU/CPC software calibrations through our ECC partnership. Custom downpipes, exhausts, intercoolers, intakes. Suspension & brake upgrades. Hardware engineered to match the software.
Maintenance Services
Mercedes Service A & B, BMW Inspection I & II, Audi 30/60/90k schedules, Porsche minor & major service. Every interval done to OEM spec so your manufacturer warranty stays intact.
Wheels & Tires
Authorized dealer for HRE, Vossen, BBS, Brixton Forged, Fifteen52, Forgestar, and more. Mounting, balancing, alignment. Curb-rash repair and powder-coating in-house.
Body Shop & Collision
OEM-certified auto body and collision repair for European and exotic vehicles. PPG, Standox, and Glasurit paint systems. ADAS calibration in-house.
European and exotic specialists, not generalists. Twenty-plus years on these platforms. Every car gets a technician who has seen the model before, knows the common failure points, and works to the OEM service manual.
Factory-level diagnostics in-house. ISTA+, XENTRY, ODIS, PIWIS, SD3, MAHA AWD dyno — the same systems your dealer uses, used by techs who know how to interpret them.
OEM parts and procedures. Genuine OEM parts where required for warranty, OE-quality equivalents (Bosch, Mahle, Bilstein, Lemforder) where they make sense. Documented to manufacturer standard.
Transparent quotes, no surprise upsells. Itemized quotes before work starts. No surprise dealer-style markup at pickup. The number we tell you on the phone is the number you pay.
Same-shop ecosystem. Service, performance, wheels, body shop, detailing, ECU tuning — coordinated by one team. One point of contact, one accountability chain.

Will independent service void my factory warranty?
No. Canadian consumer-protection law makes it illegal for a manufacturer to void your warranty for using an independent shop, as long as we use OEM-spec parts and follow factory procedures. We document every service to manufacturer standard so your warranty stays intact.
How does your pricing compare to the dealer?
Almost always lower. Typical customer savings run 25-60% versus the local European dealer, depending on the job. Same OEM parts (or OE-quality equivalents), faster turnaround, and we don’t push add-on work the car doesn’t need.
Do you offer loaner cars or shuttle service?
Yes. Loaner vehicles are available on a reservation basis for customers having scheduled service or repairs. We also coordinate shuttle service within Kitchener-Waterloo for shorter visits.
What areas do you serve?
Most of southern Ontario. Many customers drive from Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, and Toronto for our service. We’re often the closest factory-trained option for exotic owners across the GTA — the nearest Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren dealers are all in Toronto.
Do you have an in-house dyno?
Yes — a MAHA all-wheel drive chassis dynamometer. We use it for ECU calibration verification, performance baselining, and diagnostic load testing on every platform.
