"I was hesitant to ship my 250SL all the way from Seattle for a major restoration, but after several conversations and reference checks I decided to go for it. I never regretted it for a moment. In fact, it turned out to be one of the best service experiences I've had with any shop, on any car, anywhere ... bar none."

"I would like to thank you for your wonderful work on my 560SL. I really appreciated your honest opinion of the car. I am so glad I found The Foreign Service and wish I would have done so 11 years ago when I first got the car."

"The job you did on my 280SL is incomparable. The car is in better than new condition and I am proud to drive it anywhere. It is really reinforcing in this day of "quick, slick and overcharged" to meet quality people like all of you, who actually do what you say when you say."
