Foreign Affairs Motorsport

Bob Varela and his staff worked very hard to restore my 1986 Porsche 928 that I bought from a seller in Green Bay Wi. The car had a lot issues that I was not disclosed on by seller: faulty tachometer, dried up seals, defective cooling fans, non-​working horn, defective rotors and brakes, defective AC, and I could go on and on.
Bob worked very hard and with a lot of patience to make this car beautiful again. I would highly recommend Foreign Affairs for your German car and he also specializes in Porsches.
If you want a quick, sloppy and fast service without it being through, don’t come here.

Took my BMW for a lightbulb replacement!
Will return again
Better service than the rip offs I had to pay at Vista BMW!
Great shop and honest!

Can’t say enough about Bobby and his team. I was visiting the area and wanted to get my parents’ 2004 Mercedes E320 fixed. The infotainment system would not stay turned on and the driver’s seat would not fully travel along the track making it tough to reach the peddles, especially for my mom. Turned out these were both electrical problems and we know how tough it can be to isolate and fix electrical problems. There was no way I was bringing an out of warranty car to the dealer. My mom actually did have the driver’s seat checked out by the dealer a while back and was told that the limited seat adjustment travel was «by design» (total BS). The passenger seat had more than an extra foot of travel! I called Foreign Affairs Motorsport at noon on a Thursday and needed the car back by the weekend whether they could fix it or not. They took me in right away and even gave me a ride back home. They sent a car for me the next evening to drive me to pickup my car and everything was working. Infotainment was fully operational and the driver’s seat now functions properly and can be fully adjusted, all at a very reasonable price.
All in all an amazing experience.
Highly recommended.

We’ve been part of the Foreign Affairs family for years. I highly recommend them. Sincere customer service, honest appraisals and estimates, both on times and cost. These guys always deliver on their promises and the quality of the work is the best. My BMW 325I has over 144,000 miles and she is still running like a race car! Thank you Bobby, Jared & Jake for keeping me and my ride safe and sound.

Have you ever left a car dealership and felt you were fleeced? I’ve been consistent over the past 12 years bringing my BMW to dealers in SF, NYC, and Ft Lauderdale. I’ve been over charged each and every time I’ve had work done and regular servicing done on my 5 series.
I will never walk into a BMW car service dealership again after having Foreign Affairs Motorsport fix my window’s regulator. BMW wanted to replace both the motor and regulator for a much higher price, due to BMW demanding I pay for a fixed amount of service time. I prefer to pay the actual cost for repairs, not some arbitrary number before the work is done.
I highly recommend Foreign Affairs Motorsport to my family, friends, and neighbors. This is a family run business with a spotless garage, office, and professional staff. Bobby, the founder’s son, helped me and was incredibly easy and professional. I checked in on Unilocal and they honored their check-​in special for an oil change and $ 100 off.
Great place that is clean, professional, and honest. I’ll see you guys soon with my Porsche! Thanks guys.

I’m so happy with the way my car is running; thanks to the team at Foreign Affairs!!!

I would highly recommend Foreign Affairs for any kind of vehicle maintenance and also to have parts installed. The first time I went there, I brought my BMW 3 Series (about a month ago). They did an oil, brake, and vehicle check service. I was extremely impressed with their work, and their mechanics are truly top notch. Since then I have brought my Mercedes C Class to them (last week) and had an equally great experience. I had also referred a friend to Foreign Affairs who owns a Porsche. He ended up having some performance parts installed and was extremely satisfied with the work done.
They are very knowledgeable and take their time explaining everything to you (in words you can understand, and taking you into the shop to show you when you cant understand). They are a family owned and operated business, and have been around for quite some time. Also their pricing is reasonable (cheaper than dealerships).
After my experiences at Foreign Affairs, I will never walk into a BMW or Mercedes car service dealership again. This is the place to go (basically for anything automotive related), and I highly recommend them to all my family and friends. If you are someone who likes to modify their car with performance parts or have a radar/​laser jammer installed. they specialize in that type of work as well. There were three cars having that type of work done when I was there.
I never post reviews to Unilocal,but Foreign Affairs defiantly deserves one.

Foreign Affairs were very professional and thorough. They were very attentive to my needs as I am a very meticulous person with my car. They communicated very well letting me know exactly what needed to be done. The work was done on time as promised and for exactly what was quoted to me. They went above and beyond what I asked for. I will definitely go back with future maintenance.

Foreign Affairs Motorsports is a high end tuning shop and authorized Dinan BMW tuner. They tuned my 2012 550i with Dinan stage 2 software. They also did the tuning and Dinan suspension work on my friend’s car. I also had a chance to see some of their more advanced engine and suspension work.
What I like:
1) They have the latest equipment for alignment and suspension work
2) They are very careful with customers cars — I felt much more comfortable letting these guys work on my car, than the guys at the BMW dealership who can be a bit careless.
3) They have a lot of high end clientele which is a sign of quality (all the cars I saw were recent model Porsches or BMWs)
4) Their pricing is fairly reasonable. It is very slightly less than the BMW dealer.
5) They are really passionate about performance. They run their own racing team. They know a ton of stuff about tuning cars. They bring excellence to what they do. This is a professional shop.
6) They run an open shop. You can watch them working on your car.
What they could do better:
1) They put a towel over the side of my car to prevent the cables scratching the car, however since the car was dirty, the towel also caused the dirt to be rubbed against the paint. It would be better if they just completely avoided any contact with the body work unless necessary.
