The European & Exotic Specialist Serving Burlington
Burlington owners typically choose between local Halton dealerships or making the drive into Toronto. Most also discover that Foreign Automotive in Kitchener — 55 minutes west on Highway 401 — runs the same factory diagnostics with 25-60%+ savings versus the local dealer rate, and books service in within the week.
Maintenance, performance work, exotic service, body shop, paint protection film, ceramic coating, ECU tuning — every Burlington customer gets every service under one roof.
For Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and Maserati, the dealerships are all in Toronto. Foreign Automotive is a shorter trip from Burlington than crossing into the Toronto exotic dealers.

Frequently Asked
Burlington Customers Ask
Is Foreign Automotive worth the drive from Burlington?
Burlington customers typically save 25-60%+ versus the local Halton dealer rate. Same-week appointments instead of multi-week dealer waits. The drive is straightforward on Highway 401, often shorter than crossing into Toronto for exotic dealer service. For Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and Maserati, we are a shorter trip than the Toronto exotic dealers.
Do you offer a shuttle service for Burlington customers?
Yes. We offer complimentary shuttle service for Burlington customers - though most prefer to use the day for errands in Kitchener-Waterloo while their vehicle is serviced. Mention shuttle when you book.
Will my warranty be void if I service my BMW, Mercedes, Audi, or Porsche outside the dealer?
No. Canadian consumer protection law makes it illegal for a manufacturer to void your warranty for using a qualified 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.
What if I have an exotic car emergency in Burlington?
Call (519) 894-9551 first. We coordinate flatbed transport from Burlington to our shop with operators who specialize in low-clearance and air-suspension vehicles. Avoid roadside assistance services that are not trained on exotics — they can do significant damage during loading.
Do you accept extended warranty claims from Burlington customers?
Yes. We work with most third-party extended warranty companies (Lubrico, GWC, and others) and bill claims directly. We also work with manufacturer Certified Pre-Owned warranty programs.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Routine maintenance: usually within 3–5 business days. Major repairs and exotic service: 1–2 weeks. Diagnostic emergencies: same-day or next-day where possible. Burlington customers can book online or by phone — we keep slots reserved for travel-distance customers.
