"This is the place to go to keep your old Benz on the road…old school? YES! Friendly and affordable too…."

"Mixed feelings.. they had done some work to my car and done a good job for a good price. But the other week my car started cutting out, i was going to take to them again but they told me 9.30 and I waited till gone 10am and left tock it to another garage, they did the inspection and work and it was a wire that this garage did not rote properly when doing my timing belt last year that was causing a short. A simple mistake that void of had a very bad outcome."

"A mixed feeling from reading the review before I went. My 1987 W124 e300 having an issue with o2 sensor(nothing major), but I don't want to do it myself. My sensors changed with an original part for a little more money which didn't mind it. The car run much better which I expected but more importantly is I found a shop that I would take my oldie to now. Norik who is a guy of long experiences in Mercedes that talk less, do more. I like the local small 40 years shop and want to see it around for more years!"

"Another typical mechanic shop don’t bother. The shop was closed upon my arrival to retrieve my vehicle during business hours after they called me, vehicle towed there, I spent money to travel over 20 miles in a ride share to be charged $300.00 for a battery. Over the phone I explained to the owner/manager he began to yell at me that I was playing games and that he would just take the battery back even though he chose to close leaving me outside on the corner in an unfamiliar setting, phone dying, I was scared that something bad could of happened not to mention paying to go back over 20miles, Just to be told come back. Where is the humanity & accountability? What if this happened to your daughter?"

"Realized when looking him up again I never gave a review. The mechanic here is not only trustworthy, but is a mechanical engineer so he understands how your car actually functions, besides how to repair it. This leads to him having insight on what to do without going through a lot of nonsense first like most mechanics. Saves you time and money."
