Just 8 minutes from uptown Waterloo. BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren and more — factory-spec service without dealer pricing or wait times.
Waterloo owners are essentially next door. Foreign Automotive sits 8 minutes south on Bridgeport Road or Weber Street. The nearest BMW dealership is in Waterloo itself, but most customers find that our service rate runs 25-60%+ lower, with same-week booking and the same OEM-spec procedures.

For Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and Maserati, Foreign Automotive is the only factory-trained option in the Tri-Cities. The dealerships for these brands are all in Toronto.

Frequently Asked
Waterloo Customers Ask
Is Foreign Automotive worth driving to from Waterloo?
Most Waterloo customers find the 8-minute drive saves them substantial money - typically 25-60%+ less than dealer rates, with same-week appointments instead of multi-week dealer waits. For exotic-car service, we are the only factory-trained option in the Tri-Cities.
Do you offer a shuttle service for Waterloo customers?
Yes. We offer complimentary shuttle service for Waterloo customers having scheduled service or repairs. We'll drop you anywhere in Waterloo - uptown, the universities, Conestoga Mall area, or your home. Mention you'd like the 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 Waterloo?
Call (519) 894-9551 first. We coordinate flatbed transport from Waterloo 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 Waterloo 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. Waterloo customers can book online or by phone — we keep slots reserved for travel-distance customers.
