Frequently Asked
Cambridge Customers Ask
Is Foreign Automotive worth the drive from Cambridge for routine service?
Almost every Cambridge customer who switches from a dealer reports two things: faster turnaround (most maintenance done same-day vs. multi-day dealer waits) and lower bills (typically 25–40% less than the dealer rate, even before accounting for the drive). For exotic-car service, we're often the closest factory-trained option — Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren dealers are all in Toronto.
Do you offer a shuttle service for Cambridge customers?
Yes. We offer a complimentary shuttle service for Cambridge customers having scheduled service or repairs — we'll drop you anywhere in Cambridge or coordinate stops near Cambridge Centre and the Conestoga College Cambridge campus. Mention you'd like the shuttle when you book.
Will my warranty be void if I service my BMW or Mercedes outside the dealer?
No. Canadian consumer protection law and Magnuson-Moss provisions (which Canadian manufacturers honour) make 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.
What if I have an exotic car emergency in Cambridge?
Call (519) 894-9551 first. We coordinate flatbed transport from Cambridge to our shop with operators who specialize in low-clearance and air-suspension vehicles. Avoid roadside assistance services that aren't trained on exotics — they can do significant damage during loading.
Do you accept extended warranty claims from Cambridge customers?
Yes. We work with most third-party extended warranty companies (Lubrico, GWC, etc.) 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. Cambridge customers can book online or by phone — we keep slots reserved for travel-distance customers.
