L&M Foreign Cars were very expedient and honest with their quotes, service and recommendations. After visiting the local dealer as well as many other shops, L&M was the best choice. They had all the tools, equipment and technical training to take care of all my car problems.
I will always return to them for all my car service/maintenance. I highly recommend them.

"Great service, very friendly folks. You guys seem to truly love the cars you work on which makes me feel like you will do the best work possible.thanks BILL AND MIKE

Pros: THEY ARE SO GOOD

Cons: NONE

I have a car that is difficult to repair and hard to find parts, a 1992 Jaguar XJS Convertible 12-cylinder, but Billy has an uncanny ability to diagnose the problem and fix it right the first time! He takes time and care to make sure the job is done right. And he doesn't keep the car so long that you feel that you are waiting forever like some other shops I have used.

The other good thing about Billy is that he will tell you when you don't need something done, so you will never spend money needlessly at L&M. That makes me feel confident that I am getting what I need at a reasonable price. That kind of trust factor is rare these days.

I highly recommend L&M for any repair job, but especially for cars that are hard to fix that may not get the right treatment anyplace else.

I WAS LOOKING FOR A HONEST TRUSTWORTHY TECH FOR A LONG TIME ,WELL L AND M IS THE PLACE THEY ARE GREAT ,THEY FIXED MY GERMAN CAR IN 2 DAYS WORTH THE TRIP ,,, THANKS MIKE AND BILL

Pros: THEY ARE GREAT

I spoke with Bill on the phone first about the leak I was having and he asked me lots of questions to help identify what was going on and warned me that, given what I was describing, I would be looking at a costly repair, but he also reassured me that we wouldn't know anything for sure till he looked at the car for himself. After reading these reviews, I decided to head out in search of 1331 Utica Ave. (I'm fine on subways in brooklyn, but by car...help!). I'm glad I went in. Bill lifted car up while I was there, had me look at the leak myself and explained that the leak didn't exactly match up with what he thought was the problem. Turns out it was the auxiliary rather than the main pump that had failed and it was still going to be an involved job. Bill talked me out of doing some other other work we discussed since it would involve many more hours of work, and wasn't really necessary at that time. Not only did I get a full explanation of what went wrong and my old parts, but I got color photos showing me several steps of the repair job with half my engine pulled out and laying on the ground - a picture really goes a long way to illustrate why a job can be so inolved. I'll be going back the next time my A6 needs any work because I have dealt with 3 other mechanics in the 2 years I've owned the car and Bill is the ONLY one who talks to you like he actually cares about your car -and your wallet! Thanks Bill and Michael -great guys, great garage.

Pros: Prompt, friendly service -nothing like at a dealer!

Cons: Not the most convenient location, but worth the trip.

Pros: BEST SHOP IN NEW YORK

Cons: NONE

Posted 07/13/06

L & M was a godsend. I just moved across country and was worried about the stereotypical auto mechanic rip off. Luckily I found this place...

They suggested a towing service that was quick and polite. My car was serviced that day. I was called every step of the way in order to insure both my understanding of the damage and to prevent any unaffordable repairs. As soon as my car was ready I picked it up and was warmly recieved. There was no confusion or frustration , ask for bill or michael

Pros: GREAT SHOP AND EXPERTS

Cons: NONE

Posted 07/09/06

Billy and Mike really know how to take care of their customers. They take the time to explain to you what's wrong with your car and only fix what is needed. Whatever your level of experience is, I would still recommend them. My only complaint is not really related to their service but about my BMW car parts. I was warned before by a friend that BMW parts cost a lot more than domestic cars parts, but I guess I learned the hard way.

Great Service!

Pros: Great Service, Good Explainations

Cons: I'm a poor college student...

I choose L & M over anybody, they are experts. try them out or call them ask for bill or michael .its a father and son shop... good job guys

Pros: hard to find a great shop like l and m

Posted 06/19/06

The father and son team at L & M was a godsend. I just moved across country and was worried about the stereotypical auto mechanic rip off. Luckily I found this place...

They suggested a towing service that was quick and polite. My car was serviced that day. I was called every step of the way in order to insure both my understanding of the damage and to prevent any unaffordable repairs. As soon as my car was ready I picked it up and was warmly recieved. All sections of my bill were broken down and shown to me. There was no confusion or frustration in what is usually an upsetting ordeal.

Posted 06/19/06

I have a 1998 Passat and just had L and M do a major service (tune up, timing belt, control arms, tires, fluids, etc.). They were extremely knowledgeable, thorough, honest, and attentive to detail (this is critical). They saved every part to show and justify the repairs, and gave a comprehensive estimate. They aren't cheap, but the prices are reasonable for this quality of work. Rarely have I met a machnic this knowledgeable. I even got a follow up call from Billy to check on the work. Except for the terribly inconvenient location (and no Saturday hours), I have nothing but the best things to say.

Pros: Very knowledgeable, highest quality work

Cons: location and hours

Posted 06/19/06

We have a '01 Audi and 02 bmw have tried several dealers and highly rated shops in bronx L&M is worth the trip. They are talented in difficult problems and don't try to sell you services. A great experience.

Pros: great shop

Cons: small place

Posted 06/19/06

Amazing hands-on service. Not the cheapest and pretty far out of the way, but well worth it due to the confidence in and quality of their service, and (unheard of) follow up practice.

Posted 06/14/06

I went over there for the first time yesterday with my guards up, simply because it is very difficult to find an honest mechanic shop these days. By the time I left, I felt as comfortable as a faithful customer of way back. The fact of the matter is, they gave me honest quotes, reasonable prices, and devoted a lot of time explainig things to me.

By the way, there's a guy who sells 100% natural juice to local businesses in the area, If he happens to shows up while you' re there try pineapple apple! Best Juice I 've ever had!!

Posted 06/14/06

L&M's Audi service is the most capable and knowledgeable of any Audi service I've ever used; including (especially) the NY area dealer Service Depts. They promptly diagnosed and repaired my '99 Avant overheating problem, following up on the repair with a phone call a few days later. Even my engine compartment was gleaming when they were done. The cost was fair and the car returned promptly. All repair shops could take a lesson from this family-run shop with attention to detail.

Pros: Master Mechanic. Very Audi knowledgeable

Cons: none

Posted 06/13/06

We have a '96 Audi and have tried several dealers and highly rated independent shops in Manhattan. L&M is worth the trip. They are talented at diagnosing and fixing difficult problems and don't try to sell you lots of services. A great experience.

Pros: Honest, talented

Cons: Not a great neighborhood

Posted 06/12/06

These folks have been working on European cars - Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Benz, etc - for many, many years and have more expertise than anyone I've come across. Anyone with such a car knows it is hard to find a specialist. When my car broke down a year back, I went through three different garages, all manner of crooks, before I found L&M in the phone book. Now I come here for everything from headlights and oil changes to major engine work. I drive all the way from Manhattan for this service. Invaluable!!!!

Pros: Honest assessment, specialized expertise, painstaking dedication to quality work

Posted 06/08/06

L AND M FOREIGN CARS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST PLACE TO GET YOUR CARS REPAIRED AT IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!! ASK FOR BILL OR MICHAEL AND GET THE BEST SERVICE IN THE INDUSTRY. THESE GUYS TAKE FIXING CARS TO THE NEXT LEVEL. WITH ALL THE LATEST COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS, L AND M FOREIGN CARS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED DOCTORS, TECHNICIANS ARE TOO RUN OF THE MILL FOR THESE GUYS. NOT ONLY DID THEY FIX MY MULTITUDE OF PROBLEMS, BUT THEY EXPLAINED WHAT WAS NEEDED AND IN WHAT PRIORITY GIVEN MY TIGHT BUDGET. THEY WERE FAIRLY PRICED AND I GOT MY CAR BACK IN NO TIME AT ALL! I RECOMMEND THESE GUYS ABOVE ALL OTHERS. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOPS ARE STILL AROUND WITH THESE GUYS AS COMPETITION.

Pros: WELL PRICED, TRUTHFUL, BRILLIANT

Cons: L AND M WORLDWIDE

Posted 06/06/06

I have been a customer over two years and the service is great, I am told whats wrong and whats the cost and always fix to run like new. Prompt service and very reasonalble cost. I choose L & M over my dealer, they are experts.

Cons: none

Posted 06/05/06

I'd just like to thank the guys L AND M FOREIGN CARS for their fine work and their help, when I was in need. My grand daughter was visiting from miami and had a problem with her car. We called for towing service and expected only the worst. but fixed the car Small town service in NYC, I did not believe it was possible. Thanks again for your help. ask for bill or michael p.s in two days i had 2 cars at his shop

Pros: excelent, inexpensive

Cons: , crowded

Posted 06/01/06

I found out about this shop and am very pleased. As a single female I usually feel like mechanic shops will take advantage of you... BUT this shop is quite the opposite. They take the time to educate you, they provide an itemized bill, they let you know if the repair is of high or low priority, they accomadate your schedule and their work is reliable... I have a bmw - which not everyone can work on - BUT this shop is a keeper and I come all the way from Queens :)

Posted 06/01/06

Ive been going to L&M for 15 years..excelent mechanic ,excellent service ...Explains everthing in detail...Guaranteed to fix any problem..Keeps up on all the latest technologies..Definitely a mechanic you can trust.

AFTER USING A THE AUTOLOGIC COMPUTER HE FOUND THE PROBLEM IN 10 MIN GREAT ,,TECH,, ASK FOR BILL ... HE FIXED THE PROBLEM IN 2 DAYS

Pros: INEXPENSIVE, GOOD PARKING

Cons: CROWDED

Posted 05/24/06

I took my 1997 Toyota to L&M about a month ago. My car was continuing to have problems after having been repaired at another auto garage. Bill and Michael diagnosed the problem the same day and gave me a rough estimate for the repair. The car was ready in 5 days, it took 3 days for the replacement transmission to arrive. Bill explained the problem in detail, showed me the defective transmission and the replacement transmision and then we took the car for a road test. Since having my car repaired at L&M, I have driven over 1000 miles without any problems. Highly Recommended.

Posted 05/20/06

A coworker recommended Billy in 1980. We were satisfied then and still are. From nursing old cars, to selecting and breaking in new cars, to resurecting a 'totaled" stolen vehicle each job or situation that we have presented has been fixed with quality and timeliness. With todays outrageous price to quality ratio ( too often too expensive and second rate quality) these men are precious indeed. An honest quote, top rate mechanics and diagnostic know-how, and a fair price add up to a remarkable value. Get to this family run business early in the day as they fill up fast. You will be glad you chose this excellent team. The best investment my family has made in travel comfort and security for the last twenty-five years.

Posted 05/15/06

Highly recommend. The owner is an expert if German cars. Not cheap, and not very fast, but I'm very comfortable that they do a great job.

Pros: Friendly, Expert service, Thorough

Cons: Not so efficient
