Great service for the most part. Very communicative and gave me a ride after I dropped off my car in morning. They left a loose car part on top of windshield. It took a minute to research where the piece goes and it turned out it connected to the wipers from underneath the hood. It didn t cause damage to my car and turned out to be an easy self fix. Still recommend

The most skilled and honest guy leading a great and dedicated crew. Would recommend these specialists in a heartbeat. They keep updated on the cutting edge of car care by continuous education (see all their certifications and partnerships). I'm so glad to see they'll have an even more accommodating and customer-focused shop. Will follow to see when it opens. Truly wouldn't trust any other shop.

I found the team at Foreign Car Specialists to be highly professional which made the ease of doing business a pleasure. Their highly trained technicians are very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. The follow-up that I received via text and by phone, while going through the diagnostic and repair process, was excellent. You knew exactly what they found and what the associated repair cost would be. No B/S surprises. I would highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

This is the only place I trust to work on my Range Rovers. They give the same quality service and workmanship as the dealer without charging dealer prices. I drive down from Kingston whenever I need work done to my Rover because I know it ll be done right!

Foreign Car Specialists are nothing but professionals. The auto repair industry is not universally awesome; however, they are. Thank you for your excellent customer service and repair service to my vehicle!

I have an Audi that wouldn t run. I took it to my local mechanics who said they can t work on it. I searched the internet and found Foreign Car Specialists in Poughkeepsie NY. In a word they were fantastic. Love working on Audis. They are great communicators and absolutely expert and exceptional at their craft. I cannot recommend them enough. God bless them.

Very happy with the service at Foreign Car Specialists. They were friendly, timely and communicated very effectively. I like their system for estimates and approval. The loaner car was very helpful for my situation. The free multi-point inspection is a total bonus. I would definitely come back here for future work to be done on my car.Service: Auto maintenance

Excellent customer service. Absolutely no wait. Responded quickly to every text. I love and appreciate the photos and video they sent with the issues I had with my vehicle.What I loved more was that they did not try to sell me on other repairs or issues. I appreciate the loaner vehicle. That s a great touch.I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this shop!

The sign on the front of the building which states Voted Best Mechanic in the Hudson Valley absolutely speaks for itself. Timely repairs were completed in addition to repairs that were called in after my 1984 Corvette was dropped off. Will definitely return for more service.

Excellent communication, extremely clean. I took my 73 Volkswagen for a brake repair and an evaluation. I promptly received a list of work that could be done, with priority included, cost estimates for the work, pictures of the problem areas, a video, and a place for me to sign off on the work I wanted completed. The price was very fair, the work was excellent and probably the best service done on my car. I trust these folks with my vintage car, and I trust them to give me a fair price for the work. Would recommend!!!Services: Brakes, Auto battery maintenance, Brake service & repair

I took my Audi Q7 Truck to this shop, it was tested the same day and found the problem. The issue was then communicated to me through instant messaging with estimates for the various issues and once I approved it, the repair work was completed the next day. The technicians are so knowledgeable, friendly and takes time to explain the issues with my Truck. The customer service is unbelievable and I wouldn t hesitate to recommend this Foreign Car Specialist to anyone.Services: Electrical repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto emissions testing, Battery

Kevin, Lisa, Glenn and the entire team were an absolute pleasure to work with! I recently purchased a Land Rover from NJ with a check engine light. Foreign Car Specialists were able to diagnose the issue and repair same day along with a fresh oil change and bulb replacement. I loved the live in time interaction web page that provides you with your estimates and very detailed inspection notes with photos & videos. I highly recommend this team.

Very experienced & professional service. My 20-year old Lexus required a differential replacement, these guys searched to find a reasonably priced pre-owned part, arranged for delivery and installed, allowing me to stretch some additional service out of the car. Would definitely use them again.Services: Auto power window repair, Steering & suspension replacement, Vehicle Inspection, Wheel alignmentServices: Auto power window repair, Steering & suspension replacement, Vehicle Inspection, Wheel alignment

Expert and efficient handling of repairs - older parts were not available from the manufacturer (Toyota) and special machining of replacements was needed. Customer service was excellent. They made a loaner car available and were thoughtful, considerate, and clear from start to finish. Estimates were accurate and complete.Services: Vehicle Inspection, Auto exhaust system replacement, A/C installation & repairServices: Vehicle Inspection, Auto exhaust system replacement, A/C installation & repair
