MBZ Motors

I had a great experience at MBZ. I had an oil leak and my dad recommended I take it to his guy, George, before paying what another mechanic had quoted, and I have to admit that Dad was right. I’m glad I took my dad’s advice and took it to MBZ. George quoted me $ 250 to fix the same problem that another mechanic was about to charge me 3x. While I was there, I decided to have MBZ do Service B and fix a parking headlight that had gone out. They did all this work and still came in for under the estimate. I couldn’t believe it when they handed me a bill for $ 190. All done and the car is driving great. Thanks George, I’ll be back for sure.

Had a very good experience at George’s MBZ Mercedes Repair. I broke down about a block from the shop. They actually drove down to me to try and help. The mechanic looked at my car and said it might need a new fuel pump. In my Mercedes, I was looking at around $ 800. I got my car to their shop and they said they would have it ready the next day. I worried about it all night. The next day they had it fixed for only $ 180. It was only a sensor. Car is working perfectly. They could have really sweated me for the $ 800. Honesty is key for me. Thank you George. Customer for life!!!

I’ve been to MBZ with my 2012 E350 twice now. Once for Service A and once for my Service B. Plain and simple, if you own a Mercedes that is out of the warranty period, or your Mercedes needs a service and you are not going to MBZ Motors, you’re probably getting screwed! These guys are honest in the old small town type of way.

If you own a Mercedes, this is the only place you should bring it.
Seriously.
They are busy, but the wait is worth it.

I have been throwing money away on getting my Mercedes serviced at the dealer. Found this place in Unilocal and trusted the reviews. I do not mind driving 20+ miles to get here. The dealer and another shop could not fix my brakes. This place did. George had to do it twice but he fixed it! He said most people do not know how to bleed the brakes right. I am a fan.

Okay, so I called this place for a quote after finding the rave reviews on Unilocal.I’ve been on the phone now waiting for someone approximately 16 minutes. The call was initially answered promptly by a gentleman that said to hold for someone to help. Well I’m about to give up and probably never call back.

Loved this place the minute I drove in. First, George is an amazing amazing person to do business with, his honesty is above and beyond. 2 shops said that my car needs a new rack n pinion and estimated the job $ 1200 – 1500. George said that I only need to replace the bushings for $ 80 – 100, wow wow wow
I set up an appointment for Wednesday because he has to order parts.
For 7 years I’ve been hearing about MBZ motors and their good service, I never came by the shop because I was very loyal to my old mechanic, I wish I did come by and met George but it’s not too late. George has my business for life now

I live in Santa Monica and I drive past 10 mercedes benz mechanics to get to George. I would rather tow my car to mbz then bring it anywhere else. First and foremost George is honest, seriously honest. He was joking with me, «I’m not a good businessman, I don’t sell.» I told him he’s actually the best business man because he’s the #1 mbz mechanic in LA. Now that I’m done with praise here’s whats happened.
My car: 88′ 560SL
First trip: I wanted to prematurely replace brakes and George told me it’s a waste of money and that they’re fine for a few more months. There were two seals that had deteriorated on my car and he said he would get them in a few days and change them for me.
Second trip: Changed the two seals, had one custom made for under the hood. 3 hours of work, custom upholstery, $ 60.
Third trip: I brought my car to a tire guy who sold me tires and said my bushings were bad and it was going to be $ 1,000 to change. I called George, he said to come over. George told me the guy was trying to upsell me, my bushings were in good condition, just slight deterioration which is normal for a car this old. He personally brought me to his tire guy and had me pay him directly for the alignment $ 50. His tire guy again said bushings were fine and in 3 – 5 years they might need some attention.
Eventually something will go wrong with my car, and when it does I know I won’t have to wonder whether or not it needs to be done because George will tell me and I will believe him. I also will know that I don’t need to shop around because he’s always the most reasonable. Being able to trust your mechanic is everything.
Thank you for everything George!

George is the best in the industry! I have had him fix my 4 mercedes vehicles for the past 15 years! He is honest and fair and really knows his business!

I’ve been taking my Mercedes cars to George for over ten years. Always received great service and competitive prices. Judging from how busy his shop is every time I visit, a lot of folks obviously agree with me.

George and his team go the extra mile to make your repair as stress-​less as possible. When I picked up a rental car to use while the car was in the shop, the manager of Enterprise told me that people from all over — even out of state — travel here just to get their car serviced by George. He’s that good.

I’ve been going to this place for about two years now, and they take amazing care of my Mercedes. They are extremely affordable, accommodating, and do a fantastic job! Gorge is an amazing mechanic and truly cares about your car. He and the staff there has always taken good care of my concerns and my little baby (my Mercedes). It’s nothing like knowing your car is in good hands!

I have taken all my Mercedes since 2002 To this place motors. George is the owner he is a very he is a very honest guyand he knows anything and everything about Mercedes I would refer my mom and anybody else to this place I am truly satisfied with all his works never want to disappoint I just wish he also doother German vehicle but it is what it is he is very good.

I brought my slk 350 for a routine maintenance and am very satisfied with the service here. George is an honest person and he gives you quotes after checking the car for repairs. So you are not surprised when paying for my bill. He tells you the estimate time when you can pick up the car, this place does not do car loaners. I suggest you bring a friend to pick you up and just come back. Prices is reasonable than to the dealership

I brought my S55 AMG here and their service is top notch!
They’re honest, fair priced and fast!!! Highly recommended!

Took my car in to get it worked on, not only did they finish it in time for me to make it back to work, I got a good price. Thanks George.
If you haven’t been here, you should check them out.

While the guys are great at MBZ I’m starting to notice a trend… and not a good one. For the second time in a row, after an oil change service I get a «low engine oil» indicator within the first 10% of the service interval. Once topped off, then no such indicator for the remaining 90% of the service interval.
If a sensor was flakey that pattern wouldn’t exist. If the car was burning or dripping oil, that pattern wouldn’t exist. My best guess is that somebody is getting cheap and «barely filling» the car with oil… but not enough to ensure that it will last the entire service interval as it always had in the past. Sure, things change with cars as they age… but if the car was burning oil it would need more htan just that one top-​off.
Last time this happened the mechanic checked and confirmed «1 quart low» and filled it up with a very polite apology, but no explanation. I wouldn’t put him in the uncomfortable position of trying to explain so I didn’t ask twice.
But on this second eperience I have to wonder… why this trend. Does it indicate mechanics who aren’t paying enough attention, or a corporate philosophy to do the absolute minimum to save a few dollars per service to boost the profit line. I have no problem with MBZ (or anyone else) making a decent profit, but I really don’t want to be inconvenience by having to go to the shop twice to get one complete oil change.
I’m so peeved about that I’ll probably just top it off myself; it’s not very difficult after all… but in the fuutre I think I’ll be shopping around for another independent service shop. Too bad… I really like George and his crew but the confidence is waning.

I have to agree with all other 5 star reviews. This shop is staffed with honest and very knowledgeable mechanics. If you own a Mercedes Benz you should consider bringing it here first. I will never step foot again in a dealer for repairs (unless I’m under warranty of course). Make an appointment this place gets very busy. George runs this place, he is a true professional! He genuinely cares about his customers, I cannot rave enough about him and his staff. Excellent, QUALITY service at fair UNBEATABLE prices!

HOW REFRESHING !
I am relatively new to the area and my 92 500 SL had a fuel delivery issue. After two other shops suggested I needed a mechanical fuel pump (very expensive). Ouch!
I then took my beloved SL to George at MBZ Motors who quickly suggested a new fuel injector would solve the problem. George replaced it himself in less than 30 min. (an $ 80 fix) WOW!
The engine now runs beautifully.
George is an HONEST hands on owner/​operator.
I am a true «Car Guy» who can finally relax knowing my car is in good hands!

This shop gets it done and will make you want to come back. Seriously impressive. George gives you the time of day even though the shop is full
