Well since you want to air this all out in the public forum I will respond to your response. You…read moreonly called and left us messages yesterday and after my review, so I don't know what other "many times" you are talking about. We told you we would set a time up for you to look at the car again at our convenience. Well it hasn't been convenient yet. As far as my husband telling you I was happy with the car when you called, (3 days after we brought it in), that is NOT true. He said thus far he was happy with it since it worked on the drive home. I had not driven my car yet so how would he know if I was happy or not?? I don't drive my car that often and the first time that I did is when I brought it back to your shop. You can justify in your mind that raising your voice to me was ok because you were frustrated but that's not OK! Period! I did not feel comfortable with your raised tone of voice or by your behavior, that is why I went inside your shop to ask my friend to come outside with me. Now my MAX button still does NOT work and the air still is NOT blowing as cold or as hard as it should be or used to for that matter, especially since we purchased a new ac compressor from you. The MAX button was never broken before bringing it in to your shop. We brought the car in for you to fix the issue with the ac not blowing cold air and you told us we needed a new compressor. It was our understanding that you knew what you were doing and that the problem would be fixed. The problem was NOT FIXED!! In fact, I was left with a new problem. As far as my car being 19 years old it only has 140k miles on it and has been well kept I can assure you. If you truly wanted to work this out you would have at least waited 24 hours after calling us to return your call. Instead this is how you chose to work things out with us. So unprofessional!!! Update: NO WE WILL NOT BE BACK. WE DO NOT TRUST YOU!!!!

At the Fletcher Jones of Newport Beach, I was quoted over $13k for the repairs (outrageous prices) and they did the job for $3100.

The car appeared to be like-new and drove perfectly. I didn't want to have Fletcher Jones maintain the car and I wanted one service provider to be the sole provider to do all future service and maintenance. After researching Independent Factory Trained Mercedes Benz companies, I found Pacific Coast Benz to completely go through the car and provide all service and any other maintenance required. Tom is terrific. I got lucky. I will only have Pacific Coast Benz service and maintain my car - period. Thank you Tom for outstanding service and a 100% experience. It's good to know I have a quality and trusted partner. Thank you, Richard

I've lived in Costa Mesa for over 20 years and have always noticed this shop. I finally decided to…read morestop by and have them check out my Pacifica that was overheating and losing coolant. Daron and everyone at the front desk were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The lobby and waiting area were spotless, which made for a great first impression. What really stood out was their thorough inspection process. They provided pictures and videos showing exactly what the issues were. It's one thing to be told what's wrong, but actually seeing the proof is top-notch service. Unfortunately, my van had a blown head gasket and wasn't worth saving. However, I was so impressed with their honesty and how they handled everything that we ended up bringing in my daughter's 4Runner. They did a full inspection on the 4Runner, replaced the entire driveshaft, installed brand-new shocks and springs, and took care of several other fixes. It now drives like a brand-new car, and we absolutely love it! Our 4Runner is pushing 298k miles, and thanks to Daron and his team at Herb's Garage, we're hoping to keep it running for another 100k. Thanks, guys!

We were referred to Star Werks Motors by Allen Tire next door after replacing all of our tires, and…read moreI'm so glad we were. Geoff and his team are exceptional. What really stood out was the level of transparency and care. He took the time to walk us through everything with video and photos of the car, clearly explaining what was done and what to keep an eye on down the road. No pressure, no upsell, just honest, thoughtful service. Our Mercedes is at about 80,000 miles now and it's running beautifully. You can tell they truly know these cars inside and out. We're based in Palm Springs and will absolutely continue to bring our car to Geoff for the bigger service needs and anything more complex. Worth the drive, and honestly the kind of shop you want in your corner long term.

I first came across Star Motor Werks on Instagram while scrolling through car content. At the time,…read moreI had been saving up for a brake upgrade and decided to reach out via Instagram (as suggested on their page) back in 2024. I received an automated response, but unfortunately never heard back. Life got busy, and I eventually forgot about it. Fast forward to a several of weeks ago -- another Instagram ad for Star Motor Werks popped up while I was, once again, deep in car content. This time, I decided to look up their Yelp page. Since I was already there, I used the "Request a Quote" feature and included detailed information about my goals for the project. The very next day, I was contacted by Denise, who was incredibly helpful and responsive. She asked a few follow-up questions and let me know she'd gather details and pricing for me. When she mentioned, "Oh yeah, we've done brake upgrades before!" I was genuinely excited. Her professionalism and friendly attitude immediately gave me confidence that I was in good hands. Shortly after, Geoff made multiple attempts to connect with me and even carved time out of his busy schedule to walk through the specifics of the project. He patiently explained every detail and offered thoughtful, professional recommendations on equipment and pricing. It's clear he truly knows Mercedes-Benz inside and out -- his knowledge and passion really show. I brought my car in for a quick inspection, and we reviewed everything in person. With Geoff's guidance, I ultimately decided to move forward with OEM AMG brakes and parts. Every detail was thoroughly discussed, and we penciled in a date for the project. So far, the experience has been professional, informative, and genuinely pleasant. I truly appreciate the time, transparency, and care the Star Motor Werks team have shown throughout this process. I'll be sure to provide an update once the project is completed, but I'm feeling confident and excited about what's to come.
