Poughkeepsie Auto Repair

Rick and the crew were absolutely great. They re-arranged the service schedule to work on my car earlier when I decided to wait instead of picking up the car as originally planned. They kept me informed during every stage of the service about what they were doing and what problems they were finding. ,The comfortable waiting room and excellent wi-fi enabled me to work remotely without any problems while I waited. At the end of the appointment, Rick reviewed the items needing future service and we established a time frame for those items and set the next appointment. I took the car to Richmond for the Thanksgiving holiday a week later and had no problems. i will continue to use Foreign Car Specialists for my Betzie (2005 BMW X3) and any other imported vehicles I may purchase in the future.

I have always been able to rely on their honesty and expertise. Been going there for decades. Great people!

I'm a student at Marist College, not from the area originally, so I was in search of a place that I could trust to replace a tire. Foreign Car Specialists is truly a company that runs on honesty and integrity, and they replaced my tire quickly and efficiently for a very reasonable price. They even placed mats on my car floor in the front two seats to keep it clean. I dealt with Rick, who is extremely kind and friendly. Definitely recommend this place- whether you are from the area or not!

Rick and the team at Foreign Car Specialists are the best! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my Honda. I live in Albany and drive down annually to get my service done by them. They are knowledgeable and fair. Highly recommend!

Have been doing business with Foreign Car for over 15 years. Professional and honest.

Fast service, well done with attention to detail. Rick knows his stuff. He picked out the right tires for my car and had them installed in a few hours. We picked up the car, washed inside and out, and drove away very happy.

Kevin Eckler has done expert work on both my classic '66 Beetle and '93 5-speed Eurovan. To start with, these folks are some of the finest people you're ever gonna meet, from Rick and Lisa out front to pro mechanic Kevin Eckler himself. Both vehicles were purchased used and each had multiple issues, all of which were handled with mechanical expertice, fair pricing and in several instances using creative ingenuity. My Beetle was purchased "as is" with missing engine tin (critical for cooling), improperly routed engine wiring harness and fuel line, and a stripped spark plug on #2 cylinder. While I feared the worst (engine removal, engine rebuild of cylinder head) Kevin was able to lower engine slightly, install the necessary cooling tin, re-route wiring harness and fuel line properly, and reseat spark plug permanently without ever removing engine or taking the engine apart.My Eurovan was another used project car which had no heat, leaking anti-freeze, drive shaft grinding noises as well as a few more minor issues. Kevin was literally the only mechanic I could find who was willing to take on the job of dash board removal for heater core replacement. He showed me the design of heat transfer box, and modified the original factory style to move even more hot air through ducts. Kevin improvised metal supports for dash where parts were no longer available, and he created an ingenious rear compartment heat outlet that was flush with the floor, so passengers don't trip on it as they enter and exit the rear seating area. He actually improved upon factory VW design specs. Kevin Eckler of Foreign Car Specialists has my appreciation, loyalty and respect.

Great customer service.
