Absolutely incredible service The EXPERTISE is phenomenal. If you have a foreign car, old or new, these are your guys. They have been doing this for 56 years and it shows — I brought in my Audi after having the Audi dealer basically tell me to scrap it — Then I brought it to L&M and they immediately saw that my car was not only salvageable but didn’t need very much work at all. They have such a knowledge of cars and a love of cars and they’re FAIR. Which is a remarkable trait in the industry of car repair. I cannot say enough good things. I’m blown away. I’ll never go anywhere else

My brother recommended to these guys and I couldn’t be happier. The owner and the mechanics are knowledgeable and honest. I will be coming back to these guys whenever I need anything done on my car. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone with a German car.

Outstanding, honest, and thorough service for my Volvo.

Over the last few years, L&M has serviced my 2018 Q5 on everything from routine oil changes and brake pads to a water pump replacement and even a flooded electrical system panel. Billy and his team are extremely knowledgeable, have meticulous attention to detail, and are honest. These guys don't gloss over problems or look for a cheap temporary fix, and they won't try to up-charge you on unnecessary services.

These are the best mechanics I’ve ever been to. I drive a pretty old VW that I’ve taken to a lot of different shops, and they have all done a bare minimum of shoddy work, and then the check engine light comes back on during the drive home. At L&M, they seem to actually take pride in their work, and I felt like they cared about getting my car back in good working order. Mark was great to work with, and he walked me through everything that needed to be done. My car is now running better than it has in years, and I will definitely come back the next time I need work done.

L&M are great and do the job right! I have a 2004 Audi that they have been taking very good care of for a few years. They know this car inside and out.

Great place. Good customer service. They deliver your car on time. Many years of experience. Reasonably priced labor charges for foreign cars. Will definitely go back.

You will not be disappointed and be at ease knowing they do not try to sway you into any more charges than necessary. I brought my Land Rover to them.

These guys! Finally a shop where they honestly assess the issues I have with my 2010 car, and help me prioritize what actually needs to get done. I trust them.

Billy and Mark really know what they are doing! They are a bit pricey, however, you get prompt, excellent service. I definitely will return here to have them repair my vehicle.

I have been bringing my car to L&M Foreign Cars for the past two years for service and repairs. Mark,Bill and all the service technicians are great and very knowledgeable of foreign cars. The work is always neat , clean and the prices are way less than taking your car to a dealership. I've been living in the community for 25 years and as long as I can remember they've been around. That says a lot about a business and it's reputation to keep people coming back. I truly recommend you take your foreign car to these gentlemen before you go to the dealer. You'll thank me later 😎👍

L&M is a rare combination of honesty, integrity, and competence. They earned my business when they answered my cold call after experiencing a brake failure on a drive to NYC from out-of-state. The founder, Bill, advised me on making sure my car was safe to operate, and had me bring it in for evaluation. They then spent nearly two weeks completely re-doing the brake system, sourcing hard-to-find parts, fabricating subcomponents where needed, and addressed other obvious non-brake problems, such as an exhaust leak and a relay meltdown. I was able to drive the car back home safely, and soundly. I’ve returned three more times and they’ve fixed chronic problems that the home mechanic couldn’t, or wouldn’t, address: a cracked ABS sensor ring on the front axle, a frozen rear windshield wiper, a detached interior panel on a sliding door, a sagging headliner, a misbehaving sun visor. They put their knowledge to a series of engine codes that kept popping up. Oh, and they replaced the front struts. The founder’s son, Mark, who effectively runs the operation and his chief mechanic, Peter, who has a restorer’s mentality and ability, are unique personalities and allies. Mark and his father kept me apprised of progress, sending pictures, and Peter explained in detail everything he was doing, or had done. It was a reassuring and rewarding interaction. I wish I had known about them sooner, and that they had been servicing my car since the beginning. They could have turned me away for not having an appointment, or because my car was a 21 year old VW with hard-to-find parts and unique problems, but they didn’t — they tackled my problem head-on. Yes, bring your car to L&M and you will keep bringing it back. I know I will.

Best experience ever! Thank you Bill & Mark so much and I am so appreciative for the work you did on my Porsche. You are a God send and very grateful for you and your son fixing the vehicle in a very fast turn around time 🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much!

I’ve been coming to this shop since 2019 and they’ve been nothing short of excellent. The owners, Billy and Mark, treat me with care & respect even as a novice car owner. They only use the best products & parts and take the time to teach me about caring for my car. Anytime I bring my car here I know I’m in great hands and unlike most mechanics, they don’t try to persuade you into getting things you don’t need.

Always great honest service

Billy, Mark, and the whole crew at L&M Foreign Cars are amazing. I’ve been coming to them over the last 6 years, with three different BMW vehicles. They’ve done extraordinary work, with the highest attention to detail, every single time. If you own a German car, these guys are your go to! 10/10 stars. Strongly recommend.

Great and honestly trust worthy people hands down billy is the owner of the business. All his mechanics are knowledgeable and know what there doing 100percent, I'm a satisfied new customer now .

I have been bringing my Golf Sportwagen to L & M for pretty much the whole life of the car. From my very first visit I knew that I found a perfect fit. They are super knowledgeable, pleasant to deal with, and scrupulously honest. The last time I went in for an oil change, they noticed that I don't drive the car very much and spent a good fifteen minutes showing me how to start it up after a long period of inactivity, so that I am keeping the engine healthy. This was at no charge: they did it because they care about their customers, and care about their customer's cars. I can't recommend them highly enough. If you're looking for someone to take good care of your foreign car, look no further. These are your guys.

I have officially took my car to the dealership for the last time. A few weeks ago, I took my 2017 Audi with 78K mikes to the dealership because my car was suddenly shaking and not accelerating. The Dealership first diagnosed my car and said my piston rings were worn out and then quoted me an engine for more than 30k. Needless to say that was NOT going to happen. I looked up nearby Audi mechanics online and thankfully stumbled on L&M, read over the reviews and decided to give them a call. Explained my issue to both Mark and Billy and they both told me it doesn’t sound right what they are telling me, they gave me questions to ask the dealership about my car and once I called back Audi they could not give me an effective answer to the questions. After calling back L&M I was told to just change my spark plugs and bring it over. At that point, my car has been at the dealership for one week, I picked it up and once I took it to L&M , in less than an hour they were able to diagnose my car PROPERLY discovering my oil level was way over and spilled into my engine causing buildup. They were able to SAVE my engine, giving me an oil change, a new filter and added a dipstick, costing me substantially thousands less than what the dealership was trying to get out of me. When I came to pick up my car the same day, they said I’m the 3rd person for the day that the dealership quoted them an engine and that was not the solution. They took the time out to explain how to check my levels to make sure this didn’t happen again. They said all I need in about a month is a tune up. I left there with my car running great, I waited a few weeks to write this just to ensure it was still running smooth. I have officially found my mechanic, I greatly appreciated their honesty and the time they took out to help, I will definitely be taking my car there from now on. Highly recommend.

I've been taking my Audi A4 to Mark at L&M Foreign Cars for over a year now, and it's been a total relief to find a team of reliable and informative mechanics. Being relatively new to car maintenance, I appreciate how they take the time to educate me about what they did under the hood and what I need to keep an eye on. Their in-depth explanations and willingness to answer all my questions not only demonstrate their expertise but also build a relationship of trust that I haven't had at the other shops I've taken my car to so far. My first time with them was for routine maintenance, but their high level of professionalism left a big impression on me. Last summer, after a routine oil change upstate nearly cost me my engine (and the nearest mechanic wouldn't even look me in the eye), I ended up taking my car to L&M despite it being way further away, and they saved my engine. I saw them again this week, and I feel confident taking my 16-year-old car across the country with me thanks to them!

L & M is a terrific place. I've been taking my Volvo C30 there for three years and have found Mark and Billy to be completely trustworthy and conscientious, as well as kind and funny. I recommend it highly!

The best in foreign car services!

This shop is the best Mr Billy and Mark really care about your vehicle when they repair your car no need to worry if they fixed it right I will always take my car to them. I have been going there for over 7 years with my 2 Volkswagen they are excellent.
Dec 07, 2023
We have been coming to L&M Foreign Cars since many year, this is our second Range Rover we are bringing there. The team is very knowledgeable and they always make time for us. Loving that it is a family run business which cares a lot about the car and customer.

When I decided to stop using the Audi dealership after a few less-than-stellar experiences, I found L & M and I never looked back. Billy and Mark have always been great to deal with and they call it how it is. If your car needs something they tell you and if not they tell you. I always felt I was getting a fair shake with them. For over a decade, first with my Audi TT and later with my Audi A6 wagon, I've had everything from regular service visits to larger repairs done by them. I'm glad I found this shop, having a mechanic that knows your vehicle, does exceptional work and manages to establish trust is hard to find in this city. If you have a foreign car I wouldn't hesitate to recommend L& M.

Have been bringing all four of my cars here for several years and Billy and Mark always give excellent spot on diagnosis and service. Also quick turnaround for repairs, never an extended wait. Highly recommend this shop.

These guys are very knowledgeable and honest. They will do what needs to be done and explain it all to you. I have had blown out tires, cracked windshield, broken mirrors, and maintenance done by them for a 2021 BMW and I wouldn't bring it anywhere else.
