About us
From the Foreign Automotive Family to Trinidad & Tobago
The first official Foreign Automotive franchise — founded by a flagship-trained master technician and backed by three decades of European and exotic expertise.
Our story
Built in Canada. Brought home to Trinidad.
Foreign Automotive opened its doors in Kitchener, Canada in 1992 with a simple conviction: owners of European vehicles deserve dealership-quality work without dealership attitude or pricing. Three decades later, the flagship services everything from daily-driven Volkswagens to McLaren hypercars, holds a 4.8-star rating across more than 500 Google reviews, and partners with some of the biggest names in the performance industry.
Foreign Automotive Trinidad is the next chapter — and a homecoming. Our founder spent years as a technician on the flagship's shop floor, training on the platforms and disciplines that made the name: German precision servicing, exotic drivetrain work, and the diagnostic patience that separates specialists from parts-swappers.
Returning home to Trinidad & Tobago, one thing was obvious: the country's growing community of European, luxury and performance car owners deserved that same standard — without shipping cars abroad or gambling with trial-and-error repairs. Foreign Automotive Trinidad holds the exclusive franchise for the country, and carries the responsibility that comes with the name.

One shop in Trinidad. A family behind it.
Being part of the Foreign Automotive family changes what an independent shop in Trinidad can do. Complex cases are reviewed with senior specialists in Canada who have seen the failure pattern before. Parts flow through established import channels from North America and Europe — genuine OEM or proven OE-quality brands, not whatever the local parts counter has on the shelf.
For exotic owners, it means factory-level knowledge of Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren platforms is finally accessible at home, with the flagship's exotic program — including its renowned McLaren specialty — one call away for the deepest jobs.
And because we operate under franchise standards, everything about the experience is accountable: the tooling, the training, the processes, the parts, the paperwork.
- Technical escalation to flagship specialists
- Established OEM & OE-quality parts channels
- Shared repair data across the network
- Franchise-audited quality standards

About us — common questions
Who owns Foreign Automotive Trinidad?
The location is owned and operated by a Foreign Automotive–trained master technician who spent years at the Canadian flagship before returning home to open the country's first location. It is a locally owned business, held to the family's standards.
Is this the same company as Foreign Automotive in Canada?
We are the official franchise location for Trinidad & Tobago — a locally owned business operating under the Foreign Automotive brand, standards, training and technical support network.
What experience does the team have?
The workshop is led by a master technician trained at the Foreign Automotive flagship in Canada on European and exotic platforms. Every technician who joins the team works under the same documented training and quality program.
Do you only work on expensive cars?
Not at all. A well-kept Volkswagen Golf gets the same discipline as a Porsche 911. If it's a European vehicle you care about, it belongs here.
