I've used them for about 7 years to address issues with my 85' 380SL. The staff there take care of my car like it was their own. They make sure you understand your options. When done they give a detailed review of what was fixed and how it was fixed. VERY PROFESSIONAL. If you own a Mercedes worth preserving this is THE business to use to make it enjoyable.

The Foreign Service is a wonderful business! They have helped us numerous times, always work to accommodate your schedule, and go above and beyond. They provide car for your use, they respond quickly and are so excellent to work with! Bill and I highly recommend them! Pam Saxelby

This is my new spot for my Mercedes! Knowledgeable, fast, and precise! What more you want!? 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥 if you own a Mercedes Benz get over to the best!

Craig and team are fantastic to work with. If you own a MB in the greater Triangle area this is the only place to bring your car. Polite, offer a loaner car, and they update you every step of the way. I’ll be a loyal customer for years to come.

I have been a customer of The Foreign Service since my move to Raleigh, NC and fully recommend their services! David and Craig are always extremely helpful when answering questions and getting me scheduled, even on last-minute occasions. The techs provide exceptional service to my MB, and the prices are always fair! 10/10.

I have been taking my vintage Mercedes to Craig at Foreign Service for several years now. I am always pleased at how personalized the service is. They know my car well and understand the complete history of the car. They always have a loaner car available so there is no hassle of arranging rides. This is a top notch Mercedes repair facility with factory trained technicians and mechanics. Thanks guys!

I’ve been a customer of The Foreign Service for several years now. They have always provided reliable and reasonable priced services. Craig does a great job with managing the front office and keeping customers apprised of their repairs. The complimentary post service car wash is nice. If you’re looking for a great independent garage that specializes in Mercedes Benz vehicles, look no further than The Foreign Service!

So professional and knowledgeable about Mercedes. Make you feel like a friend is advising you and taking care of your special car. Not inexpensive but all is good when done and clean and the do not do anything without asking you first. We've have been going here for years

Amazing service that is professional at a fair cost.


Jan 24, 2025

Bruce and the team took great care of me and my C350. Having grown up on the inside of a dealership family I am used to getting straight forward and honest answers when it comes to service. Even when my particular job took more time than the original estimate, The Foreign Service stuck by their original estimate and I saved a ton over what I would have paid at the dealership. I plan to keep my MB many years and The Foreign Service is now my go to shop for repairs and advice. - Alex

First time customer from out of state relocated to Raleigh and tried The Foreign Service and cannot say enough about the service. I am a customer for life.


Jan 24, 2025

Had used the dealership for some time until a friend recommended I use Foreign Service for my wife’s Mercedes. Will continue using them for any needs I have. Excellent service at a good savings over the dealership.


Jan 24, 2025

Mercedes owners this is your place! The Foreign Service is top notch. Craig quickly offered an appointment, clearly outlined their service philosophy, diagnosed and fixed my car’s issues. I was offered a Mercedes loaner (didn’t need it because the work was done quickly). Everything was inspected, explained and some services were not needed or could be deferred. Honest, experienced, excellent Mercedes service.

Theres not enough words in the dictionary that can express how professional, flexible, reasonable, puntcual , and communicative this company has been for me and my family over the years ; for sure 5 star worthy service with clear understanding of what you're getting yourself into when it comes to maintaining a mercedes benz

Best Mercedes mechanics on the east coast. I hesitate to even call them mechanics because they are really Mercedes experts. Incredible client service every time. I have been a client since 2007!

Responsive and competent. Expensive, though.

The Foreign Service Inc has made me a believer. I've been with Foreign Service since 2017 and have been very happy. There are no big surprises and over sell. This is my second vehicle that I have taken there for all services. My first vehicle, I sold and the new owner drivers three hours to continue to get it Service there. They have kept my Mercedes running like a charm.


Jan 17, 2025

The Foreign Service does excellent work and their diagnostic knowledge in the business is outstanding. They give you the customer care that is hard to find at larger auto repair service centers.


Jan 17, 2025

The Foreign Service gives excellent care to my older Mercedes SLK and I use them exclusively. A real plus is having access to their loaner cars during service. It really helps with my busy schedule.


Jan 10, 2025

Always great customer service. The only Mercedes repair shop I go to! Everyone is excellent!


Jan 10, 2025

Best place to have your Mercedes Benz serviced. I have a 2012 C250 with only 80K miles and has performed standard maintenance plus less standard repairs due to the car's age for a fair price. They have complete access to MB's records through the VIN#. Very truthful and responsive service.


Jan 10, 2025

Craig is AMAZING! It's so refreshing to meet professional, caring, honest and considerate individuals like him in a world that's filled with cupidity. I'm happy I found a reliable source for the maintenance of my GLK 350!


Jan 10, 2025

Fantastic service with excellent personnel!


Jan 10, 2025

I am very pleased with the services provided by Foreign Service. They provide an excellent customer experience. I feel that I can trust them in their recommendations for service. They have been very responsive when I have had immediate service needs for my vehicle. Thanks to all of you in the business for what you do.


Jan 10, 2025

I have been using the service since 5 year for C300 and GLC. They are best and honest in providing services. Crew is very passionate about what they are doing. Keep it up guys!!


Jan 10, 2025

If we had taken our car to the dealership, we would of paid way more. The Foreign Service is the best place to take a Mercedes for service hands down.


Jan 10, 2025

The best customer service in Raleigh for getting your Mercedes serviced. You will definitely get the best deal for your money at The Foreign Service. Excellent work by the technicians and they even washed my car. Also, I was able to go about my busy daily routine with the use of one of their loaner vehicles. Awesome place!!!!!!


Jan 10, 2025

The quality of work and customer service of The Foreign Service is outstanding!!! I take both my Benzes there, and every time they have provided service, I left feeling reassured and satisfied. I moved out of the area a few years back and a mechanic in Maryland was very complimentary of the work done by The Foreign Service right before I moved on an older Benz that I had.


Jan 10, 2025

These guys are the best. Have Explained situations to a non-car person about my old classic car, and sometimes talk me out of some thing because of the cost/benefit situation as they perceive it. The most trustworthy people in the car business I have ever encountered.


Dec 07, 2024

I’ve been bringing my CLS63 to The Foreign Service since I bought the car two years ago, and I wouldn’t let anyone else touch it. They are so knowledgeable of Mercedes and they never cut corners. When I pick up my car from them, I always feel taken care of. Their prices are a lot better than the dealership too. These guys are the best at what they do and I can’t recommend them enough.


Nov 07, 2024

Friendly and attentive people, professional service, taken good care of my vehicle.

Was told they do not accept new customers
