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

As a BMW enthusiast it's imperative that you also have a great technician to service your car and I'm glad to have found Foreign Tech. Antonello is a great guy and a straight shooter who will tell you exactly what you need and what you don't. He's a straightforward & honest BMW enthusiast and expert and I have no qualms bringing him any of my cars or trusting his recommendations on parts & repairs. Can't recommend Antonello and the guys at foreign tech enough. Be patient, leave your car on his trusting hands, and you will not be disappointed.

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. A 5 star business as well as its ownersServices: General repairs & maintenance

Couldn’t say enough about these guys, they saved me a ton, my car had pretty extensive water damage, a couple of computers plus the wires got wet and caused all sorts of issues. They replaced the wet modules and re wired the corroded connectors. Had additional maintained work done as well. Thanks Again.Services: Electrical

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

I have been coming to foreign tech consistently for 3 years now to have Antonello work on all of my vehicles. The work and service is impeccable. On top of regular maintenance for My AMG SUV, and SL550, Antonello fabricated a custom exhaust for my SL, and it sounds absolutely incredible. His guidance from both a performance, as well as maintenance perspective is invaluable. Cost is always more than fair, and I can not recommend this shop highly enough. Knowing that I have Foreign Tech in my corner really takes the stress out of owning high performance German cars.

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!

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. I would recommend to a friend.

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.

I was having boost leaks and drivetrain malfunction errors, we went to the dealer and they gave me a sizable quote for new turbos and valve cover. I decided to get a second and third opinion, Antenello figured the out with a smoke air test and computer readout I didn't need new turbos, a crack in a pipe was causing all of the issues, we upgraded some stuff and changed oil and the car runs like new..Thanks again Antenello.

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. These guys don't know what they are doing and will do more damage than good to your car. You hear all these horror stories about bad shops, well this place is one of these places that cause these stories ...So here is my story ....Where do I start? They did a lot of work on my car and almost every item they did had issues ...They installed new tires and rims and forgot to put in the TPMS sensors that I provided for them, so I had to take the car to a different shop to take off the tires and put in the sensors ....Installed new exhaust, had 3 exhaust leaks ...Installed an intake, forgot to put in the rubber seal and the engine started throwing codes, had to had it reinstalled ...painted the brakes and put the logo facing forward on one side and facing backwards on the other, now I have to get them redoneForgot to put the engine cover on the car when they gave it back to me, had to go back to the shop to retrieve itLost the center caps for the wheelsI am sure I am forgetting something ...All these issues aside, they overcharged me almost double what they initially had me quotedAnd if this wasn't enough, the owner let his friend take my car for a joy ride without my consent - who does that?Long story short, I had some work done, they almost ruined my car, overcharged me and now I am doing the same work twice to fix all the problems.I don't enjoy writing bad reviews but if more people did what I am doing now, I wouldn't have gone to this place in the first place.As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so I am attaching a couple of pictures, I wish I had documented more of the issues, but this should be enough - emblems on brakes put the wrong way, missing nuts on shield cover bolts, missing engine cover, for which i didn't know anything .... The O2 sensors fit fine, these guys just couldn't figure out where they fit in, thank god the other shop did .... I could go on and on, I am still paying for their mistakes ....I just found out that they also put the front rotors backwards ...
