    Do you work on a 2009 Mercedes Benz ml350 I need a new starter?

    Hello Tom! Yes I do work on ost Mercedes Benz and BMWs

    We have inherited a 1986 standard shift Jeep Cherokee that has a dead battery and has not been started for more years than we know. We were told not to start it, as old gas and oil would cause damage. Is this something you could help with?

My car registered was due and I saw a great deal on an ExperTec mailer for a smog check for under $54 with electronic certificate to the DMV. Since I had such a wonderful experience with the ExperTec in HB for my mom's 1989 Toyota Camry, I decided to give CM a chance. My appointment call was always answered by Jose. He was professional, informative & took all three of my calls either making/moving my smog appointments. He was accommodating and patient with my schedule changes, which I appreciated. This time, I was 20 mins late right before lunch so I asked if I could just leave my car. He said it was fine. The parking lot was full when I arrived which is a testament of how busy the shop is. I was able to grab a spot as a customer left. I was immediately greeted by Mike who was impressed with my reverse parking skills. He also super sweet to my dog, Finn. The waiting room is large and clean. It has a nice peaceful feeling with a nice sofa, coffee table, refreshments such as coffee, bottled water & Keurig coffee. They even offer popcorn with a variety of popcorn salt. Today, Jose checked me in. Not sure if it was those schedule changes, but he wasn't as friendly. He was definitely accommodating so I honestly cannot complain. I was late & he was professional all the way through. Mike offered courtesy shuttle for drop off/pickup, but I wanted to enjoy the sun and get some exercise with my dog. I left my car and was called back within an impressive 80 minutes. Did the mechanics take a lunch? That was so fast! My dog Finn and I walked back to the shop. We waited a bit before being attended to by Gary. He had an awesome upbeat energy as he checked me out. He let me know the smog certificate was already electronically transmitted to the DMV. I noticed there was a steady stream of customers, so this shop seemed to be well loved and I can see why. The value of this smog check is unbeatable with that Value-Pak coupon. Highly recommended for Smog Checks.

To give a little insight, I had taken my vehicle (2018 Honda Civic) to an Auto Shop in my area for a MPI to verify a dealership's findings. They told me there that I needed Rear Brake pads. Long Story short, they 'resurfaced' my rotors and replaced the pads. Brought it in many times and they basically ignored the issue. This other shop quoted me $1.3k for a 'needed' Caliper Replacement to resolve the issue. There I was with squeaking brakes, how embarrassing. That was until I came into contact with this Group, The AutoMedic. The two guys who helped me out were very open and communicative. They found that my rotors were not at all resurfaced by the previous shop. I honestly thought it was included to replace the rotors, didn't know anything about this 'resurfacing'. I knew that I would eventually have to change the rotors after researching resurfacing of rotors. Thankfully The AutoMedic had great pricing! Communication with their team was very helpful. They got me same day, they explained everything and helped resolve my issue. That's my headache gone from squeaky brakes for the last 6 months give or take. Did I mention how fast they got it done? I swear to you, not even a half hour!! From this experience, I would highly recommend going with them. I will definitely be booking with them in the future.

Because of that, I came back for multiple oil changes. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was completely different. I was charged a high price for what should have been a simple oil change and cabin/air filter replacement, and I ended up waiting about two hours for the work to be completed. After talking it through with someone more familiar with car maintenance, it became clear that I was likely overcharged for a job that should have been quicker and more reasonably priced. What made the experience worse was the interaction before my appointment. When I asked for clarification about being told I may need "air," EU laughed at me for asking. I'm neurodivergent and sometimes take things more literally, so I was just trying to confirm whether I was being charged for something that is often free. Instead of explaining, I felt mocked for asking a simple question. Because of this experience, I no longer feel comfortable or confident returning here. I'm sharing this as a caution for other customers--especially women and neurodivergent people--who may not be as familiar with car maintenance and rely on mechanics to be honest, respectful, and transparent.

I was so relieved I didn't need to buy a new tire. As a woman, I am always wary in situations like this because it's easy for someone to take advantage. But the team at this location were transparent and honest and even stayed past closing to get the job done. Huge thank you to both Kelly and Nacho! This Pep Boys location is absolutely trusted and I highly recommend it.
