Stay far away from this shop at all cost if you do not wish to be ripped off or mislead!!!!! I read the reviews from this shop before taking my S550 Mercedes there to be repaired, the reviews seemed to be very good so I believed this would be a good shop to get my car fixed. I was not fully aware of what was wrong with my car that I drove from NC to FL before the engine just stopped when I came to a stop sign. I had my car towed to this shop which claims to "specialize" in foreign cars BMW, PORSCHE, MERCEDES ETC. I called and spoke to Dan Royster himself and I told him I felt that my starter or engine control was bad and needed to be replaced, he asked me how did I know and I told him I watched a few videos on my car and that was the common issue, his exact words were "why are you letting YouTube fix your car when I'm the professional and why would you go for the jugular so soon when it may be a simple fix". He reassured me with his words and I felt that my car was in the right place. He called me the very next day and said he had bad news for me, my engine was completely locked and my beloved car was finished, he told me it happens to those cars all the time, I tried to inquire about getting it fixed regardless and he insisted it wouldn't be worth it quoting me $14,000 to repair it! I dropped my car off to Dan Royster's shop on Nov. 23rd of 2024 to be diagnosed and repaired which was never done properly, I was hoping the mechanic would take a deeper look and call back with better news which never happened. I have voicemails from Dan Royster stating that my engine was gone, every phone call to his shop he would reiterate that the engine was bad which lead me to believe him being that he claims to be a professional! Fast forward to January 9th of 2025 I listed my car for sale on FB marketplace for parts trusting the word and so called expertise of this mechanic, the Buyer met me at the mechanic shop and purchased the car I paid $50,000 for, for $8500 with the intent to use for parts, the person that bought my car called me the next day with the car running in perfect condition after changing a $200 part (starter)!!!!! He told me the mechanic lied to me and it was only a $200 fix and not $14,000 like I was told by this shop! I was very hurt and upset once I learned that I was lied to in hopes that I would forfeit my vehicle, I contacted Dan Royster immediately the very next day to let him know the loss I took due to his misdiagnosis and his exact words were "I'm human I make mistakes"!!!! A simple mistake is understood but quoting me a $14000 mistake is mind blowing and I am now at a total loss and headed to litigation with this shop for the balance of the true value of my vehicle. Dan Royster agreed to make it right at first which we have recorded, then changed his story after disappearing for a week and now says he isn't responsible and that "I should not have listened to him and trusted his word, I should have towed it somewhere else for a second opinion" which we also have that statement recorded as well. Stay far away from this place and in his own words "ALWAYS GET A SECOND OPINION" do not take his words for anything, if he quoted me $14,000 for a $200 job I am pretty sure he's done this in the past and got away with ripping off unknowing customers that believe and trust his word. Be VERY careful and sure to double check his work, parts and the amount you are being charged because he has no problem quoting & charging you for things you don't need!! He is either totally incompetent and really has no clue of what he's doing or he's just dishonest and ripping people off but it's definitely one or the other which equals bad business, do not listen to this guy you may just need a $10 fuse, take your car somewhere else and don't fall victim to the "honest" reviews like I did they just didn't uncover the truth because we're customers not mechanics and this guy will get over on you! read more
