Greensboro's Foreign Accents automotive service center received top honors in the most recent Bosch Q-Cup competition. Foreign Accents ranked first nationally in the continuous quality improvements category. The Bosch Q-Cup competition is an annual, international event. The focus is commitment to continuous quality improvement. Criteria include areas such as equipment, training, business operation, service offerings, and shop appearance.

Bosch Corporation is a one-hundred-year-old, international company. It is known worldwide for developing and manufacturing aftermarket auto parts and automotive original equipment systems and components.

This is not the first time Foreign Accents has been recognized for excellence, according to Randy Beeninga, who shares ownership of Foreign Accents with his brother Scott Beeninga. "Last year, we were the top rated Bosch repair shop in North Carolina and one of the top 10 in the country."

In 2000, it was selected by AARS as the top rated repair shop for Toyota, Subaru, Mazda and Nissan in Greensboro, NC based on performance, customer satisfaction, and reputation in the community.
