I was having troubles with my Mercedes S430 that I recently bought from a separate mechanic. I brought my car here to get a second opinion on some problems I was having and they were exceedingly helpful. I believe they went above and beyond looking over my car and took the time to explain to me what I could fix now and what could wait and in a manner in which I could understand, not being skilled in this area. When I went to pick up my car, I explained to them the previous mechanic felt responsible for the problems and going to fix the problems. They then offered to look over his work when I got the car back and before I left offered me a car wash. That to me is great service and when I get my car back, they will absolutely be my new mechanic. Thank you Mike and Richard, you guys made me feel very comfortable being in your establishment. I will see you soon! read more

I have a older Mercedes Benz and BMW. Dynamic performance helps me keep them running like new. They are super knowledgeable about foreign automobiles. All the mechanics are friendly and shoot you straight. I recommend all my friends here. read more

Very happy with this place!! It was my first time away from the dealership for help. Mike was very nice and attentive to my old Range Rover Sport and walked me through everything that was needed to fix my problem. They finished the job when they said they would and I was on my way (it wasn't a small fix). Thank you for your professionalism and honesty! read more

I have two Mercedes Benz automobiles and have been a loyal customer at Mercedes Best and now Dynamic Performance for over 25 years. Owners Mayo Stewart and Ken Meikl are an interesting duo of 40+ years and combined they have 80+ years of experience with Mercedes Benz & Professional Automotive Repair. These guys are both experienced and funny and really good...most importantly they are honest and trustworthy. They have 5 bays at the shop and several top-notch factory certified technicians that work there as well. They only use FACTORY and OEM premium parts and they provide a full service shop focusing on MBZ, BMW, LEXUS, ACURA. MINI COOPER and most premium luxury import car repair. I would highly recommend this shop for all of your import automotive repairs. read more

I have a vintage Mercedes. I chose this shop because they had the same model in the lot. The shop manager assured me this would be fast and easy as they had just restored the exact same model. He couldn't have been more wrong. After having my car in the shop for 7 WEEKS and they told me it was finished but several things that were listed on the service order still had not been completed. Simple things like fixing the turn signal, so they are slow and ineffective. Also my bill ran into the five digit range so they are expensive. And after everything was said and done my car was still making a loud rattling noise which they claimed not to be able to hear, so they are dishonest. They also put a dent in my door that chipped the paint. STAY AWAY. read more

We've been going to Dynamic Performance for several years and have always received excellent service. The team is knowledgeable, quick, and the pricing is reasonable especially considering the quality of the service. Mike even took my husband's call after hours when we needed some help. Thanks Dynamic Performance! Highly recommended. read more

Ken and the crew are super friendly , I am on my 3rd MB and i have been going to Dymanic Performance since 2013, never went back to the dealership for any services , they are professional and prices are very reasonable, you'll also get a loaner when you drop off your car. Great Services A++ read more

This review is long overdue, for years I took my 7-series BMW to Dynamic and each time they got the job done at the most affordable price. These guys ALWAYS tried to save me money. Its kinda funny...I'm seeing reviews complaining about pricing. Really?! You own a luxury car, and steady complaining about pricing, well, try the dealership at three times the price! Dynamic also does a real quality job in their workmanship. Once the job was done, it was a detailed job. My only complaint is that they didn't have a fleet of rental cars for convenience but c'mon, that's splitting hairs. If you need a solid shop to take your BMW or Benz, these guys will get you sorted out, relieve the stress and and not break the bank. read more

Good honest mechanics are a great piece of mind. I have been taking my MBZ sprinter here for a while now and she is well taken care of. Good people who are efficient and a pleasure to work with. One of the reason's I feel good about owning a MBZ is having Dynamic Performance around to keep her right. read more

Stay away!!!!! I have a BMW 328i and my DSC service light came on. I left my car for the diagnostic test and I was called and told that I needed approximately $2000 of work done to my car. In addition to a control unit and a belt replacement, I was told that I also needed an oil change and power steering fluid change. When I told the guy that I had my oil changed just last week and power steering fluid changed fairly recently, he started to backtrack and made up reasons as to why he thought that I needed it. Having gotten a bad vibe, I picked up my car and took it straight to another mechanic who ran the diagnostic test in front of me and we looked at the belt on my car. Bottom line--I needed no control unit or belt replacement just as I needed no oil change or power steering fluid change. What a scam! read more

They have been taking care of my car for years. I've found them to be helpful and honest and they get the repairs done on time. They will usually tell me if something needs replacing urgently or if I can wait. They are far better than going to a dealership for service. I also appreciate that when I communicate with them online to schedule an appointment, I get a timely response. I like the reminders too. read more

Found these guys through Yelp because the warranty is up on my 4 Series. Competitive pricing and excellent customer service. Probably the best experience with an auto repair shop that I've ever had. Will definitely be coming back for future service. Thanks, Dynamic Performance. read more

Finally, a trust worthy car repair shop! Not only is everyone super nice and helpful, they keep their word on how long things take to be fixed, they don't overcharge you, and let you know what is urgent to fix and what can wait. They even give you a free rental car if you live far away and your car needs to be kept for service. read more

The best mechanics I have ever been to (and this is for a decade now & includes Tri-State area) LOVE LOVE LOVE! Being a woman, born and raised in New York, and a stubborn "German-only" driver I learned to accept the fact that I would forever be ripped off with maintenance and repairs on my C230K. The team at Dynamic Performance changed all that. The first time I came in, my car was "acting up," and this place just happened to be on the way to where I was going. So I pulled into the lot and spoke to Mike. He was a sweetheart. Mike took my car for a free test drive and was able to determine that my air intake hose was torn. I then took his card and passed it on to my friend that was having issues with her Audi (they helped her out a TON too!) I came back yesterday to set up an appointment to get the hose as well as car charger (I don't know the correct car terms...) fixed. This is when I met Ken. Ken is the BEST! He had my part ordered within a few hours, gave me an (accurate) estimate and I went back this morning to have it all done. I was in and out in JUST 30 MINUTES! They even fixed all my bulbs without me asking or telling them to :) Not only is the service excellent, they are super fast and friendly, and NOT shady rip-offs. What a breath of fresh air! Will definitely be coming back here for any/everything Benz related!! :) read more

We took our car in and they did a fantastic job diagnosing it and making it work great. They fit me in without an appointment and finished my car quickly. Thank you Dynamic Performance! read more

I have done business with Dynamic Performance (MBz-Best) for over 30 years. They are the most honest auto repair shop I've experienced. They do excellent work and will give you good advice on how to keep your vehicle in good running shape. I've also bought a used MBz from them that has turned out to be a great car at a really good price. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Use to bring my BMW here for years and always seemed honest. However I started bringing my Mercedes here for repair under my extended warranty. They started to tell me I needed things that I did not when I brought it in for routine maintenance. They told me I needed to replace both batteries which would be $800.00. I declined the repair. One year later I have not had any battery problems. After that I brought it in for a code that came up. They said I had to replace my fan because the car was running hot. Believe me I would know if the car had been running hot. Mercedes warnings pop up in huge red letters on the dash. I declined the repair. Turns out the gas cap was not screwed on tight enough. That's enough to part ways with this establishment. read more

I have been a client for approximately 1 1/2 years. They have been nothing but professional, courteous and reasonably priced when my BMW has been in their shop. I highly recommend them. read more

I used Dynamic Performance for the first time because it was conveniently close to my new office and provided transportation back and forth while my car was being worked on. I dropped my car off about a week ago for a service due and got a call shortly after stating my brakes and rotors need to be replaced and it would cost an additional $625. My Mercedes only has 21,000 miles on it. I don't know much about cars but it didn't sound right to me and I wasn't prepared to add another $625 to my bill so I asked him to hold off. He stated my sensor would go off shortly and what do you know, as soon as I picked up the car the check brake pad light was on. I mentioned it to a couple people who also didn't think it sounded right and advised me to have another place check it out. I was referred to my dad's Mercedes mechanic and after looking at the car, he stated that only my brake pads were low and my rotors were fine. The cost was only $205. Dynamic performance was about to charge me an additional $420 to supposedly replace rotors that didn't need replacing. I'm really glad I got a second opinion and would not recommend anyone taking their vehicle here. In response to your comment: That's not true and you even sent me an email stating it was within .1 of a millimeter and asked me to bring my car back in to measure it. At that point I had been driving it for a couple weeks with my new brakes. The other mechanic didn't violate any laws but actually measured everything in front of me and showed me the specifications. read more

I've been using these guys for years. I have a 1990 300ce that I bought brand new. Thanks to Dynamic Performance my baby still runs beautifully. My friend borrowed it and blew the fuse for the windows, the guys at DP stayed open late until my friend arrived, they changed the fuse and did not charge anything. You just don't get that kind of hometown service very often. read more

Brought my BMW here and Ken and Ben took care of me. My valves were making a weird noise. They diagnosed and fixed them while they were changing the oil in my car. Not only that I told them my not German car was also messed up and they told me what was wrong with it and saved a lot of money. There is not many honest people out there especially with auto repair. It falls under the same category as the dentist!! To expensive to fix! And they did it! New customer and customer for life. Thank you Ken and Ben! read more

My wife and I have been taking our BMW and BENZ there for over 12 years. We have never had a problem them, very friendly and honest.There prices are always fair. Best part is I don't have to wait 2 weeks to get my cars serviced. Glad no know I'm not trapped at the dealer. read more

The guys at Dynamic Performance go above and beyond. They are great at diagnosing and fixing my Mercedes-Benz issues. then explaining what and why it was done. We really appreciate their commitment to excellence. CLKMB read more

This is a sure bet for great service. Thanks for taking good care of my CLK350. Love Ken and Mike. read more

Went to DP because I had to get my smog check. They also offered to do my annual tune up. They called me a couple of days later and told me my brake pads needed to be replaced. I approved this and then the journey began. After more than three weeks of having them work on it they told me that the price would be double what they quoted me if I wanted to pass the smog check. I went to their facility early one morning to reclaim my car. They tried to tell me that I could not take my car and ordered my car blocked in the lot. As I pulled out my cell phone to call the MB police they decided to let me leave. I brought it to my old shop in Torrance and they had it fixed in four days. I was willing to pay DP for the tune up as it needed a tune up. After doing research I realized that my brake pads had been replaced one year earlier and they clearly deceived me in telling me my brakes needed to be replaced. I offered to pay them $500 for the tune up to make them go away. They brought me to small claims court. And it appears they are experienced at small claims court as they had TWO cases that day where people felt they did not receive what they were promised form their establishment. The judge also seemed to know them as they won both cases. This place is an absolute rip off. I would never recommend them and I would ask you to tell your friends to NOT go to this establishment. For those of you who know me you realize that I rarely go to this extreme however this business should NOT be servicing MB residents. read more

I have known and have had my various Mercedes, BMW and Lexus vehicles maintained and serviced by Mike and Ken and their team since 1987. THAT by itself should say it all. However, Trust, Confidence, Clarity of Communication, Consistency, Knowledge and VALUE is what I have come to Appreciate and Expect from "the boys" :) They have always gone the extra mile for me and my family, helped my friends and referrals in the same professional fashion they have provided expert service to us. HIGHLY recommend Dynamic Performance for whatever services you need, including potential referrals to other quality providers, ask your questions, understand their answers and explanations (trust me, they are patient) and APPRECIATE when you drop in to have something relatively minor fixed, adjusted or repaired and they more often than not say "don't worry about it, no charge" :) read more

This is one of the best repair shops I have ever encountered. Their customer service is top notch. I had an accident in my brand new car and they were on top of getting me back as good as new as soon as I called! This type of customer service makes me refer them to all my friends! Thank you, Dynamic Performance! read more

We own an S430 and SL500, both great cars. Ken and the crew at Dynamic Performance always take great care maintaining them. They do really good work, use the right parts and are always a way better value than the dealer. John read more

I do not write reviews usually, but it's been a year of experience with my c300 and this place has great customer and car services! Charge decent and fair for the work well done! Always there to help with any stupid questions I would come up. read more

I was starting to think I might need to stuff my pants with a sock and look like a well hung man before going to the mechanic being a girl but the guys at this shop changed all that for me. I have a gold digging car that knows nothing but spend my hard earned $$$ until I took the car to them. Everytime Ive gone to a shop I would end up spending more than a grand. I dont have an issue paying for what needs to be done if the issue gets fixed. I went to this place in culver and spent 3grand on a lifter noise that didnt get fixed and Ben from the shop just fixed the issue w a 10 dollar can of seafoam. Im not saying that all repairs have an inexpensive solution but the guys here will work to find you the most cost efficient effective fix. They're pros and are a bunch of honest guys. No sock in the pants needed for the ladies visiting here unless youre into that kind of thing. read more

I've taken my BMW 328i to Dynamic Performance only two times after my BMW warrantee expired, but both times I was pleasantly satisfied with the service in terms of the explanations of the work and the efficiency of the service, battery change and oil change. The Enterprise rental down the street picks up at this station for those needing to borrow a car, and a nice cafe across the street is available for shorter waits. What I appreciate most is that this place does not "hard sell" other services, like the BMW dealer service shop does. I'd go in there looking for regular maintenance and be talked into getting new tires or anything else they could find. Online appointments are also easy to make. These guys know cars and give you honest, good service. read more

As a woman, and not a techie person, I am always concerned that I will be overcharged. Not at Dynamic Performance. i have been taking my Benz E320 there for 2 years; they charge far less than a dealer repair shop would. My sons have reviewed my bills and said they were fair. Mike and Richard are gentlemen; the mechanics are all gentlemen. If my warning lights glare a message on the freeway, I pull in and BAMM! they take care of everything. When my car was hit while parked and I had an issue with AAA insurance, they made the resolution easier for me and the body work was great. I really appreciate this excellent service right here in MB. read more

made the service on my 2010 MB E350 a breeze. brought it in in the morning, picked it up after work. No upsell, friendly staff, and straightforward pricing. Got my service done for $99 vs. the $300+ that the dealer wanted. Sold that car, but now shopping for a new Benz and will only go to these guys for any service. Hard to find honest and straightforward businesses in this line of work, and these guys are a rare find. Highly recommended. read more

I took my 7 series BMW in for brake service after hearing them consistently squeal. The guys there were great. I dropped it off that morning and had my vehicle back by that evening. In the meantime they offered me a loaner vehicle which was fantastic. The only issue I had was that the work got misquoted but they made it up to me by working with me on the labor fees. I've been driving my car for over a month and it rides smooth and no squealing sounds! I will definitely go back for any maintenance I need. These guys are my mechanic. read more

I just took my late model Mercedes in for service, the prices at the dealer were almost double for the same service. They were accurate, fast, courteous. I'll continue to go back. read more

Have brought my wife's 2010 E Class to Dynamic Performance a few times now since moving up to the LA area from the OC. Dropped the car off actually this morning for it's 30k service appointment. Ken and the staff are knowledgeable, honest, professional and go out of their way to make sure customers are satisfied. In the past I have encountered dealership service department staffs that are clueless and unprofessional. Glad we found Dynamic Performance and we look forward to using them for many more years. read more

Dynamic Performance always does good work and treated us honestly. We have paid direct and under 3rd party warranty and in either case - the guys have always been fair and insured the car is running well and safe to go. From simplest to most difficult repairs, we've been satisfied with their work. read more

Id like to give them 5 stars as the process was pretty convenient. Took my car in for simple oil and brake fluid to save on dealership prices. 20 min later they called saying I needed a new cabin filter. I didn't think anything of this replacement and the price was on point. When I picked up the car it smelled like a cheap carwash air freshener. I keep my car immaculate (I dont even pick up togo food in this car). I brought it back and found that they had soaked the new filter in "new car smell". They were cool and replaced the filter with a new one but I had to go out of my way to come back for a third time for the install. Even with the new filter my car is stained with this new fake oder. I do appreciate that they gave me a new filter but now i get to drive with no A/C windows down for the next month while the half can of spray makes its way through all my vents and AC piping. Maybe ask customers before adding things like this. Next time ill pay to go to the dealer. read more

Great service fro very professional guys both in the office and on the floor. Very satisfied with work done and fair prices.Will definitely use their services again. read more

I just had a great experience with Dynamic Performance. Getting my car serviced couldnt have been easier, they were very helpful and quick. THey saved me money on the brakes and oil leak I had fixed. Very clean, professional, polite and trustworthy. I would reccomend them to anyone! read more
