Very displeased! I had spent a little more than 6 thousand dollars with them since last summer...the last straw was when I had an air leak that was causing a misfire ... So the mechanic said I had to get the valve cover replaced ... $500 dollars later it still ran the same (no power and rough idle) HE said it was because of oil leaking into the cylinder and HE SAID DRIVE IT so it can burn off... My car now needs a new engine due to damage from doing what the mechanic said to do. Never will I go there again!!! read more

Shady!!! Shady!!! Shady!!! Stay away from this place. I brought my BMW in there 3 months ago because I had an oil leak on my driveway. They apparently fixed it. Last week, the same oil leak appeared on my driveway. The leak was a perfect match of what occurred 3 months ago. I brought my car back to Akbar and Mike, the shady salesman, told me that it would be another $950 to fix my car. Why would I pay another $950 to fix the problem that I had 3 months ago? Mike tried to tell me that it was coming from a different area and not the same place. Mike is condescending and rude. He seems like a nice guy but in reality he is a crook. What really bums me out is that my 80 year old parents have been coming to this place for years. I wonder how many times they have been ripped off. The office is dirty and unorganized. There is no place to park in the property. Every time I've been there Mike has always put down different auto service shops. Why does he feel it's necessary to put down other shops? I don't get it. There is another Akbar service on Benson which is not related to this one. Check out their Yelp reviews. They get good reviews. Mike continuously put them down. I will not ever go back to this shop!!!! Bad place. read more

Total Rip Off! Beware of this place! If your looking for the Upland Mercedes Benz Repair this is not the one with the Good remarks. We brought our Merceds and they never repaired it, they kept telling us they were still working on it! Charging us a full 8 hours everyday with no end to getting this repair till we decided to pull our car out of the shop. Paid them for over $1,000.00 and still had the mercedes towed out! Scam! look at the reviews first before you make this costly mistake! read more

Took my car in because I could smell coolant got it back with the motor ceased, they said it wasn't there fault and I had to get my car towed from there repair shop lol. On top of that they wouldn't try to help or reason with the situation and where very disrespectful to me. Don't do business here! read more

We have been going here for years but the last visit will not result in a return visit. They had it for a "C" service and I asked them to check the brakes as well. 2004 Mercedes E500. Anyway on the following Saturday I was checking air pressure and noticed that on the inside of the left front tire cord was showing. I can't understand how this could have missed other than pure carelessness. Not the shop it used to be. Asked Fred to do a couple of other things and none of it was done..... read more

Akbar Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Upland, California

These are truly amazing people they helped me out major got me a tow and more I would recommend them very highly they put In work and give good prices read more

A+ mechanics. They're smarter than the average bear, offer a fair price and don't make you feel pressured. They were very courteous with me and took the time to help me feel reassured even though their mechanics are so busy! I drove away satisfied and already recommended them to a good friend. Helpful to note, they give free diagnostic tests! read more

AWESOME PEOPLE! Trustworthy,n will get the job done...n will go the extra mile for their customers..#1 MIKE AKBAR...

Fast reliable service. I only bring my Audi here. They take great care of me and my vehicle. It's hard to find that these days trust me. I've been to Audi West Covina and also the new Audi in Ontario. Both are extremely overpriced and the wait is excruciating. Here they are very reasonably priced and can usually get you taken care of while you wait. Anyway I'm thankful for these guys that I can get my foreign car maintained without going broke. And their mechanics are very good. A+++ read more

This place is awesome. The brothers who own the place are great guys, honest and the pricing was extremely reasonable. The mechanics are extremely skilled. The head mechanic knows benz's and bmw's inside and out and they have all the proper tools for diagnosis which is a must for any benz indy. I came in here new to the area as a first time customer and from this outstanding service will be returning and recommending them to all my friends who own these expensive german cars. If you own a benz or bmw, bring your car here. They even gave me a ride to and from home while I waited and a benz keychain lol. I can't say anything negative about this place only positives (which for me is rare when it comes to auto shops). A+++++ read more

AWESOME and quick service. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommended. Eric and Mike is the Best in the business.

This is by far the best place to be for your vehicle repairs. They specialize in BMW and Mercedes which is great because I own both makes. I must say that I have never felt so welcome at a repair shop in all my years of getting repairs done to my cars. They actually break down the process and explain everything step by step so that even the unknowledgable can feel relaxed knowing that they will be back on the road with peace of mind and enjoy the drive while knowing that their vehicle has been serviced by a professional that is certified and understands their vehicle inside and out.i will say that I will be returning here from now on and I will know that I'm getting the best deal on prices considering the high costs of dealers. So Eric and Mike have gained my respect and also my business to. See you guys on my next oil change or unless something comes up. Thanks again for the recent repairs guys. You truly are the best. I couldn't believe the turn around time that my repairs were done in. I will definitely be back to service my cars at your location from now on. read more

Great Job on my Mercedes. This was my first time there.These guys are right on the intersection corner of Campus Ave and Foothill Blvd in Upland. Easy to find, helpful staff & mechanics, Eric was great. read more

We bought a 2007 BMW, started having issues, we have a code reader, called around to every BMW repair shop to get a price on what the code said was wrong. No one would quote me anything, said I had to come in for an $85 diagnostic, except Akbar who told me that code may not be what is wrong with the car but took the time to quote me anyway. Brought it in there, the code was correct, they fixed it and came in below their original quote. Love this place, our BMW shop forever now especially because they took the time to talk to me and work up a quote when no one else would. 5 star baby. read more

Never, ever again!! Will I take or recommend anyone go to Akbar on Foothill...I have taken my 2004 745I there since my factory warranty expired in 2009. I have wasted time and money (that I didn't have) especially the last time I went there. In August of 2015 I took my car in because it kept leaking oil (which it NEVER had prior to them doing an oil change) and I was charged $2353. of which $2087. was LABOR!!....they had the car all week, but even if they would have worked on it every hour they were open (which I know they didn't) that would be about $42. an hour!! Remember...this was for an oil leak they started! Guess what...my car still leaks!! NEVER AGAIN! Stay away from that place!!!! read more

These guys are great they really know there bmws and give 100% when working on your car with the best oem parts prices as well as the lowest labor costs as well. Ask For Mike Jr he will take care of you. read more

I highly recommend this place! Good price very nice people. They know exactly what they're doing. This is the place to go to you won't regret it! read more

My starter went out on my 528 BMW , I can't thank the guys at Akbar enough for the service I received, I was Not pressured into fixing other things that needed service, the price was every fair and I got my car back in a few hours, today my car starts better then ever. thank you thank you for the attention you guys gave me. you guys are the only ones who will EVER Work on my car from this day on. Robert K read more

Excellent service very helpful and honest . Repair done in a timely fashion. Very reasonable repair cost and very knowledgeable about BMW . The other day I stopped by there because low engine oil warning came on and Eric their master mechanic checked it out added oil for me free of charge. I really recommend this shop they take care of your car and do it right. read more

" Best Mercedes , BMW and Mini Cooper Mechanics around!" It's the best place to get you car fixed and checked out

I guarantee the positive reviews were written by people that the managers paid off. This is the most horrible auto shop I have ever been to! All I needed was a hole patched up and they kept my car for TWO WEEKS! The owner's kid (only reason he could ever work at a place like this) didn't call me with the diagnostic results until 10 days after I had dropped it off! Every single time he called, I had to recount exactly what I'd told him numerous times before. I felt like I was getting pranked it was so ridiculous. Then they tried to charge me for a bunch of other things that I specifically asked not to be worked on. The first time I walked in, I watched them overcharge a man who had been waiting for his car all day after it had been sitting in their lot for god knows how long. That should have been my warning sign. NEVER going here again. Take my advice and don't waste your time getting ripped off. read more

Great service to me for over twenty some years. Fair prices, quick service, knowledgeable mechanics, good people.

Terrible experience! Left my car over night to check why a service light was on and the wanted me to do services I had already had done 3 months prior at dealer... Used a hand held code reader when I asked them about why they didn't check it on the computer (BMW correct way) they gave me a bunch of bulls**t reasons. I ended up taking it to different Akbar on Benson completely different experience they actually fixed it very nicely, and diagnosed it CORRECTLY! read more

I had an issue with my car and a friend of mine recommended this place. Do not come here. This place is a total rip off. It started off with 85 dollars for the diagnostic then it became a full diagnostic as "they could not read it" or they will need to diagnose further so now its over 300 dollars and nothing has been fixed. 1500 later, they fixed a couple of things on the car and I did not even do it all as they charged so much as they only use "OEM parts" I think not as the parts were generic. I should have asked for my old parts. Will not go back to this place and I suggest you don't either. read more

Happy satisfied customers.. AWESOME! They keep my Beamer right and tight! I spent so much money on my car before I met Mike Sr. And Jr. They are the Best.. The Best Job the Best prices.. OH and guess what! They care for their customers I love these guys and wouldn't mind giving A 10 star alday everyday.. read more

NO STARS IF IT WAS POSSIBLE.I KNOW IT IS LONG BUT PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU GO. They will get upset if someone else works on your car. i had oxygen sensors done at another shop they were working fantastic until i took it to AKBAR shop for a vacuum leak they never fixed and charged me 200 to fix. I specifically asked them to not worry about my sensors and told them they were fixed. THEY WERE REALLY PUSHY ABOUT THE SENSORS. BECAUSE THEY NOTICED THEY WERE NEW AND DONE ELSE WHERE AFTER THEY CHECKED ENGINE SERVICE SOON LIGHT (as did many shops before them) i was scheduled to bring the car to them again for gasket change. But when i got the car back the check engine light was still on and now a gas cap light and now the car has more codes than when it went in to get fixed. not to mention when i picked up the car my gas cap was missing. (they did replace it) but they tried to act like i could have lost it some how...... the gas cap is tethered and locks with the car doors when closed like really people come on did you not lock the car and someone come cut and take it....... Any ways i took it back by BMW in Ontario the manager is a friend of a friend and they told me some how the sensors got plugged in backwards. I am assuming they swapped them so i would have to go back for repairs later........ look people i dont review often but, they will be beyond shady. do not use this shop for any reason please help this man go out of business and stop hurting the people in his local economy. They will damage your car for later repairs they are not that cheaper than many other shops even the dealer..... i think my transfer case fluid replacement here saved me 50 dollars over going to the dealer. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not let him touch your car. they will try their hardest to keep you coming back even if they just do some shady stuff like put sensors backward so a service light stays on. again i beg you do not do it if you and your family rely on your vehicle for school work or anything. please do not go here..... EVER.....you will be back every week for months according to another friend. Its how he has been in business for so long. HE WILL KEEP YOU COMING BACK ON PURPOSE TO FEED HIS FAMILY... i understand your struggle but really....THEY TRIED IMPROPERLY CONNECTING MY SENSORS AND TAKING OFF MY GAS CAP TO LEAVE MY SERVICE LIGHT ON SO THEY COULD CHARGE ME FOR IT LATER..... DO NOT GO HERE. you will pay more having others fix their mistakes. read more

see my previous review. For some "reason", yelp is not featuring my review of this awful place. I am sure that someone at Akbar had my truthful review disallowed. We left 2 cars with them to repair, no word from them. After 3 weeks, we called -- and they had NOT EVEN STARTED the work. Then the work they did do - 1. it wasn't necessary, and 2. they overcharged. DO NOT USE read more
