$1800 to do a oil pan gasket on a 07 335i is highway robbery!!! Yes book time says 7.5 hrs but me as a mechanic myself know it’s way more than half that. I could understand $800-$1000 maybe but $1800 is unreal!! And on top of that I have BMW original oil pan gasket and BMW original one time use bolts that They “don’t allow to use” whitch makes you think what parts are they really using?? Not a good look and not a very happy camper. I’m glad I didn’t go they with it as I can get it done for more than half then price no problem. Thanks for nothing guys!!! 0 stars would be much better but lowest is a 1 star smh. Should be ashamed!!!

I am so happy to discover Foreign Car Specialists! I had to find a new mechanic for my MINI when the local dealership closed its doors. I just had my first service with them. My car was due for an oil change and they also did a complimentary full point inspection for first-time customers. The inspection was very thorough and includes a detailed written report with photos and notes etc. The charges for the visit were reasonable. In addition, Lisa (the owner) and all of the staff I interacted with are very friendly and professional. I'll definitely be going back for future service.

As always, good, professional, & quality service & staff. They deserve the "Best Mechanic" award.

Kevin, Lisa and their staff have been more than gracious and accommodating when it comes to the service of my 1973 VW Super Beetle they have affectionately named "Sunkist". When Kevin began working on her a couple of years ago, he told me he would make her fun to drive again, which he has, right down to installing a new stereo system for me. His vast knowledge of how this vehicle works has brought her back from sitting in a garage for 10+years before I began the overhaul, she drives like new! Thank you to Foreign Car Specialists!

So I have a 2011 Bmw 535i that I had taken to them to fix . My car had a crank no start and just didn't want to run . They came up with so w bogus diagnostic that had nothing to do with my car issues. They had my car like a month more less and still no car was fixed . They were telling me how they were so knowledgeable in foreign cars but told my insurance that they still didnt know what was wrong with the car. Long story short they aren't familiar with updated car issues that are computerized. Very pricey for every thing . I wouldn't recommended at all.

best anywhere,i was able to set up my newly built vw performance engine for my 1974 beetle on my test/run stand at their shop for them to do final adjustments on duel weber carb setup,valves adjustment,check air fuel ratio, and as i know keven looked everything over.great to have someone willing to do this for his customers before engine is installed into vehicle.

Excellent customer service!! They have a diligent, honest and thorough approach which always ends with topnotch results. Moreover, the quality of their work is only rivaled by the quality of their staff who continue to raise the bar with each and every visit. I would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to receive exceptional care for their vehicle. FCS is the best that the Hudson Valley has to offer!

It's been over a year that I use Foreign Car Specialists services, and I always have the confidence that my car will be taken care of in the most professional way. The feedback after every service is very comprehensive and puts you in control of what your want to have serviced next. I highly recommend them.

Always friendly and quality service. Never changes. Boooring. :-)

A true family owned business that know how to treat customers. They handled my delicate situation with me and my family with dignity and respect and bent over backwards to help us get our car done. I really appreciate the attention to detail and constant communication with us while they had the car in their shop. I would definitely recommend FCS to everyone as well as call them for all our needs. Thank you again!
