Antonello has been servicing our 2003 M3 over the past year. Just had valves adjusted, spark plugs, valve cover gasket and vanos repair done. He s also refreshed the suspension and done the rod bearings. Very knowledgeable & trustworthy. The best BMW repair facility in the Westchester area & right next to metro north. Highly recommended.

8/26/2020All I can say is Wow, my 1998 M3/4/5 drives better than it did when it was brand new. This is my 3rd BMW I brought to Foreign Tech, and they never disappoint. Antonello sat with me and asked me how I wanted the car to drive/handle, and then he went over the parts/modifications needed to make this happen. He is incredibly detailed oriented and knows his stuff. I didn t originally listen to some of Antonello s suggestions and bought my own parts. Turns out they were meant for the track, which is the exact opposite of what I told him I wanted. He told me that they would be too rough but I insisted he put them in - what a mistake. The flashy green engine and transmission mounts I forced him to install were extremely rigid and made the car not enjoyable to drive. I should have listened to Antonello s original recommendations from the start. He showed me some new options and went over how they were different from what I purchased. He then bought and installed them and now the car drives amazing!I never expected it to drive this smooth and handle so well. The car has 148k miles on it, and you would never know from how it drives! Antonello is always really hands on, which I appreciate. He listened to what I wanted and made recommendations, even if I didn t listen. He waited for my approval on all work. The car went from a sad state to a rejuvenated classic e36 m3. Even with COVID impacting all shipping/manufacturing companies, he was able to deliver the car in a timely manner. If you want a great, knowledgeable shop to make your car truly standout, I highly recommend Foreign Tech. I am already planning my next project for them!

I'm new to the Westchester area. A few years back I asked a friend to recommend a repair-performance shop for my E36 BMW. Foreign Tech was at the top of their list. After some preventative repairs it was time to overhaul my suspension. Aside from the professionalism and great service, they're incredibly knowledgeable on vehicles like my classic sports car. Anthony and his team at Foreign Tech were very thorough and my new suspension exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend them and would give 6 stars if I could.Service: Steering & suspension repair

By far the best independent repair shop, I ve come across & far better than the dealerships in the tristate area.Antonello has serviced three of my BMWs over the years, from a classic e28, an e36 M3 & e46 M3, he & his expert techs, are well versed in each generation of BMWs and I regularly see Porsches & Audis being repaired here. He s helped me triage each of the cars and I ve received nothing but excellent work. I work in NYC, so it s an added plus to be able to take metro north then walk 15 min or cab to the shop for pickup/drop off.

Antonello's quality workmanship, skill, thoroughness and attention to detail are only matched by his character, integrity, kindness, intelligence and generous nature as a human being. When I brought my BMW to have work done at Foreigntech about 5 years ago I realized that I had made a poor investment in a vehicle, but in the end that didnt matter as much to me because I not only had found a true master mechanic with impeccable skills and knowledge but even more importantly a wonderful person and now a great friend. Antonello could have easily gotten me for $7-10K in repairs but instead advised me of what a money pit the vehicle was and described all of the things that were wrong, and would likely go wrong with it. I can't say enough about what a great person Antonello is, truly best of the best all around in any aspect of the word.John F.Service: Engine repair

I found foreign tech by mistake when I was looking for a mechanic. My 2013 X5 was in rough condition after visiting and being taken advantage of by 2 different BMW dealerships which cost me over $4000.00, and they told me I needed to do 10 grand with of work to get my car running right. I was totally beside myself and was starting to feel like I made a mistake buying my vehicle. While searching on Google I came across an add for foreign tech and placed a call to Antonello who owns the business and he was so pleasant and sympathetic to my issues and extremely knowledgeable about my vehicle and it s issues. We spoke for about 35 minutes and he went over everything with me and explained to me and gave me an estimate based on what BMW had said and it was 65% less than the dealer. Well I brought my car there last week and he had the car from Tuesday to Saturday and he went over it with a fine tooth comb let me tell you I am so ecstatic that I met Antonello and his father also who owns the body shop where the mechanic shop is they are both wonderful wonderful people And I m really happy in this day and age that I was able to find an honest mechanic Antonella was great if you have a BMW Mercedes Audi Porsche take it to Foreign Tech to be fixed. you will not find a more honest and reliable business to take care of anything and everything your vehicle needs. I drove an hour and a half to get there. If you want to save your vehicle and get it fixed the first time and save money too. It s a win win situation. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ANTONELLO AN HIS FATHER FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE. my X5 is running better now than the day I got it. One other important note: they actually care about all their customers and show it too. So I suggest if you need an awesome mechanic or body shop head down to Foreign Tech and Martone Auto Body in Ossining.

Simply put, the best shop and team to work on German and foreign cars in general.Antonello and his team have worked on my car in the past for an exhaust upgrade as well as intercooler and charge/boost pipes for my 2015 328i xDrive. All of the work has been absolute perfection.Most recently, his team rebuilt my front bumper, fixed my fender, and repainted after a hit and run that occurred.They made the process so simple (we all know Adjustors and the insurance companies in general are the absolute worst to deal with) and the craftsmanship in their work made the car look better than when I first drove it off the dealer lot.Services: Exhaust, Painting, General repairs & maintenance, Body & Trim, Brakes

Brought my 2013 X5 50i M sport to Foreign Tech to get some motor work done. BMW dealerships wanted me to put in a new motor out of pocket for the troublesome N63 motor. Said that it couldn t be done. I left it with The guys at Foreign tech and they fixed it without a problem, they are even approved by my third party warranty for all the work. They were able to go back and forth working with the warranty company to get approval on my claim. I had to do nothing for it! They did it all for me. After they completed the motor work that BMW said they couldn t, I had them build custom straight pipes and let me tell you, it sounds amazing. There are very few performance upgrades for this truck. I was so happy with the quality of their work I have since brought them my e36 M3 coupe to work on. New or old I would trust them with my vehicles.Update:9/4/19I have put on over 20k miles since getting my truck back. I use it as my daily driver and couldn't be happier with the quality of work. I get complements everywhere I go with the exhaust. I was so pleased with their work I brought in my BMW e36 M3 to have some work done. It now runs better than it did new from the factory. We freshened up the motor and suspension and I couldn't be more impressed with the ride of a 20 year old car.Update: 7/20/2020Truck update, it now has a 115,000 miles on it. I use it as my daily driver. I have put on over 25k miles since they worked on it. BMW services centers said the motor couldn't be fixed but the Antonello and the guys did a great job!Services: Transmission, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning

If, like me, you're a fan of German engineering, and refuse to drive anything else, you know parts and labor at the dealerships are way overpriced. Not only that, but the service they provide lacks any kind of personal touch. I drive an older BMW. I want my mechanic to love the car as much as I do. When a friend put me on to Foreign Tech, I knew I met the right team: All car addicts. And with taste. They take an artisan approach to fabricating custom parts and diagnosing any issues. Plus, we get to talk shop while I'm there. Antonello and his crew are perfectionists who care more about getting it right--what you want!--than trying to sell you what you don't need. 5 stars. Definitely.

I went to Foreign Tech after getting an expensive quote from BMW in Mt. Kisco. The work estimate from dealership was almost $6000. Antonello Martone saved me $4000 for the same work. The job got done in two days. Antonello specializes in German cars which tend to be very expensive to repair. I trust him and have been going to him ever since. I could sense they really care about people.Services: Engine repair, Oil change

I will gladly never set foot in a Mercedes dealership again. From routine maintenance to engine work and customization, I would not recommend taking your vehicle anywhere else. My AMG Mercedes is under full warranty and ONLY bring it to Foreign Tech despite being able to take it to the dealer and have all work covered there. I think that it speaks volumes that I can say cost is not an issue because my warranty is bumper to bumper and I chose to come to Antonello at foreign tech and not have my vehicle taken care of at the dealer. I highly recommend anyone who has a vehicle to come visit the shop and talk to Antonello, and I am not just talking about oilchanges. He has done numerous brake changes, caliper replacement, brake fluid flushes, designed custome brake ducts for cooling, spark plugs and ignition coils, high flow airfilters, and much more. I track my AMG Mercedes and he makes sure this car runs better than the day it left the factory. Would not go anyhwere else.

Had a crazy estimate from the BMW dealership for replacing broken seat belts and fixing a sun roof. Foreign Tech was straightforward, fast, and extremely reasonably priced. They communicated with us on text to let us know the status of the parts and the car, and provided the flexibility to pick up after hours. I will never use anyone else to fix my car again!

Antonello and his team impeccably executed a full engine overhaul on my beloved BMW X5 35i. His price quote was several thousand dollars less than the local NY BMW dealerships and the unparalleled caliber of personalized service he provided, keeping me apprised throughout every phase of this arduous undertaking, exceeded my highest of expectations. My family and I were so delighted with the final outcome as well as the cumulative time, energy and painstaking effort Antonello devoted to our X5, that we brought him my husband s new MB S550 4Matic and Bentley Continental GT Coupe the following week, for their annual service, rather than supporting dealerships who frequently charge exorbitant rates and engage in price-gouging. Antonello and his father s establishment is a staple within the community and these gentlemen operate their business with refreshing righteousness, honor and integrity. Antonello has earned lifelong patrons in us and comes most strongly endorsed by my family and I.

Just picked up my Mercedes from Foreign Tech. The quality of work, attention to detail, and craftsmanship here is unparallelled. Whether you need custom work, body work, or a mechanic, Foreign Tech will fix your issue quickly and the right way. Don t even bring your car to the Dealer. The customer service and price here is 5 Star hands down.Thank you.

By far the best car service I have received in a very long time. I have a 2002 Jaguar who has been through the ringer and 3 different mechanics. They simply couldn't get the job done. Once I took it to foreign tech they were able to trace the issues to the root of the problem and even fix damage that was cause by the previous mechanics. My car is running smoothly and perfect now. Great service and great communication. They were able to explain to me exactly what was going and the fixes they performed and all done in a timer manner. Everything was beyond my expectations! Thank you Foreign Tech!

This place is great! I brought my '80s BMW shark nose coupe - I was on my way from way upstate to Texas. They fixed thing my "expert" mechanic missed. Car runs like new!!! Very, very fair bill and genuine BMW parts.

The staff at Foreign Tech was courteous and knowledgeable. They fixed a number of issues on my car for a fair price. They were honest and upfront which I appreciate.
