Aston Martin the way it should be serviced
We have been working on Aston Martin 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.
Aston Martin ownership in Kitchener-Waterloo means a long drive to the nearest factory dealer in the Toronto area. 6.0L V12 timing chain work, AMR transmission service, and major service intervals routinely run into five-figure dealer quotes.
We are a faster, lower-cost path that does not cut corners. Our technicians are factory-trained Aston Martin specialists. We run Aston Martin AMDS diagnostic platforms. We use genuine OEM parts sourced through the Aston Martin / Mercedes network (for AMG-powered cars). And we usually book the work in within a week or two for major service.
From a routine oil service on a DB11 to a V12 timing chain repair on a DBS, from a DBX air strut to a Vantage AMR clutch service, your Aston Martin leaves here ready for the road. Every job is backed by our 24-month labour warranty.

Common questions
Aston Martin Service FAQ
Eight things Aston Martin owners in K-W ask before they book.
Do you service Aston Martin in Kitchener?
Yes. Foreign Automotive is one of the only factory-trained independent Aston Martin shops in southwestern Ontario. For owners outside Toronto, we are typically the closest option.
What Aston Martin models do you work on?
Every modern Aston Martin: DB11, DBX (incl. 707), Vantage (V8, V12, manual / AMR / F1), DBS, Rapide, Vanquish, Valkyrie. Older DB9, V8 Vantage, and Virage on a case-by-case basis.
Will using an independent shop void my Aston Martin factory warranty?
No. Canadian consumer law protects your right to service your vehicle at a qualified independent shop without voiding the factory warranty, as long as the work is done to manufacturer specification and proper records are kept.
How does your pricing compare to the Aston Martin dealer?
Always lower. Typical customer savings run from 25% up to 60% or more versus the Toronto Aston Martin dealer. V12 timing chain and AMR transmission work are areas where the savings are biggest.
Can you do V12 timing chain repair?
Yes. 6.0L V12 timing chain repair on DB9, DBS, Rapide, and Vanquish is one of the most-requested Aston Martin services we do. Complete repair with OEM parts and AMDS documentation.
Do you service AMG-powered Astons (DB11, DBX, Vantage)?
Yes. The M177 / M178 AMG V8 used in DB11, DBX, and modern Vantage is within our capability — we have the Mercedes XENTRY tooling and Aston Martin AMDS to handle the integrated systems.
Do you do Pre-Purchase Inspections?
Yes. Aston Martin PPIs are one of our most-requested services. Comprehensive two-day inspection with full report — particularly recommended before any used DB9, V8 Vantage, Rapide, or DBS purchase.
Do you offer transport for out-of-town Astons?
Yes. We coordinate flatbed transport with operators trained on low-clearance exotics. Mention it when you book.
