Thank you for all your work on my C300. You have always made me feel like almost like family. What a great place, and you have the best customer service. Hector and his staff are experts at Mercedes idiosyncrasies! read more

MB Elite is hands down one of the most honest and reliable mechanic shops I've been to. Hector, the owner, is straightforward, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about doing right by his customers. Everything is clearly explained, there's no pressure or upselling, and the pricing is fair and transparent. It's hard to find a mechanic you can truly trust, and MB Elite is exactly that. I always feel confident my car is in good hands. Highly recommend. read more

I own an older Mercedes sprinter van and it's had quite a few issues; from brake lines, to radiator leaks, all the way to turbo issues. Hector has been an invaluable resource for my problems. He's been able to identify the issue and remedy it incredibly fast, while being a fraction of the cost of other shops. I recommend Hector and his team to anyone who wants an honest mechanic. Appreciate all the work hector. read more

Hector and the team performed an extremely thorough PPI on a G-class for me which helped ease my mind about buying a used vehicle. Videos and pictures were provided showing the condition of the vehicle and areas to address which was awesome since I am purchasing the vehicle remotely. I highly recommend MB elite. read more

While visiting relatives in Costa Mesa - check engine light came on - looked up auto repair for a mercedes: called MB Elite. Drove down - received absolutely outstanding service and repair (new spark plugs and tuning in a 3 hour window) - all on New Year's Eve. Friends for life! read more

My SL63 needed all four hydraulic struts replaced along with motor/trans mounts, flex discs, plugs, belt & tentioner and several other services at 113,000 miles. The cost for honest quality repair at MB Elite stands alone. I highly recommend. read more

Always a great experience at MB Elite & always satisfied with the work by Hector & his crew. Just another satisfied & happy customer.Thank you MB Family!!!! read more

My C350's command control center console knob finally broke. The shaft inside is made of cheap plastic and so it eventually snapped and when I would spin the control knob, nothing would happen. The knob still worked if you shifted it up, down, left and right, but it wouldn't work if you were spinning the dial. This is a common problem for my vehicle as I read on the forums about it. It seemed like an easy and cheap DIY fix, but I didn't want to run any risks. Before finding MB Elite, I called a few other local shops and they all said the entire console had to be replaced and quoted me an outrageous price for part & labor. Luckily, I was able to speak with Brandon at MB Elite and he right away knew this common issue and gave me a quote that was HALF the cost of other places. He knew about a repair kit to replace the plastic shaft with a metal one so it won't break again. I was so happy MB Elite was able to say yes to repairing it rather than making me buy the entire unit! I arrived and Steve was there to help check in my vehicle. They said I would have to leave the vehicle for the entire day so I had a ride waiting for me. It would be nice if they gave out loaner vehicles because I have had services at other private shops and they provided a loaner. So just prepared to get a ride somewhere if you're going to get your vehicle repaired here. Steve said he'd give me a call around noon with a status on my car, but he never did and when I called, nobody answered. I ended up just getting dropped off about 2 hours before closing on a Friday to check on my car since I never received an update. I waited about an hour in the waiting area, but they had netflix to watch and the guys are pretty good with conversation so you don't get bored. Steve finally brought my car back, but it was unwashed since the car wash place was too packed and couldn't get to it. He was nice enough to give me a discount on my repair service AND a card for a free hand wash. That was really nice of him and I appreciate that. My car was back to normal again and the knob still works perfect! They also were nice enough to help me fix one of the tension fingers that popped out of the cup holder for free. Overall great shop and Steve is down to earth, they didn't push on upselling me on any unnecessary services! They do get busy so you'll want to call ahead to book a time in advance. read more

See all

The fact that everyone takes their time to explain exactly what they're doing and why is a huge asset. Even when I have to spend more money than I anticipated I always leave MBelite with a full understanding of what's going to be done and why it needs to get done. They are patient with everyone and so very knowledgeable. Jamie, Bobby and Matt are the bomb! read more

Steve needs to come back!! The new guys do NOT fix what they say they will, I have brought my car in 6 times for the same misfire issue and it is still not resolved! Even after paying thousands for a full new set of spark plugs!!! That should have resolved this issue for at least 4-5 years, not 9 months. They cut corners and do shoddy work. This has been my go to shop for the past 6 years and today I move on. No more half ass work. No more Non-repair work. No more going back over and over every 60-90 days for THE SAME issue and being charged again and again. Sorry Steve, you created a fabulous and honest business, but your new crew is flushing it all down the drain. read more

Great experience getting my regular maintenance done. Really easy and fair prices. Very responsive and got me in next day. Took about 3 hours and everyone I met was very nice and helpful. read more

These gentleman saved the day! I was parked next door in a parking structure, and my car battery died. Matt brought a new battery over to my car and swapped it out right there on the spot. He was super friendly, and even my dog loved him! Bobby was also very friendly and helped me get checked out while Matt replaced the battery, so I was on my way in about 20 minutes. I really appreciate both of them, and definitely recommend this place! read more

Our Mercedes was being serviced and brakes changed; needless to say, we received top-notched service!! There was a minor delay but the owner/workers were really nice and worked very hard especially during these COVID times. I definitely recommend anyone with a Mercedes to come get your car serviced here! Bobby and the others have been helpful and you guys won't be disappointed when coming here. read more

I had my 1999 s 500 Mercedes serviced today . The team was extremely polite and professional. They did an excellent job and did not try to sell me unnecessary services . The charges were very fair and reasonable ad almost half of what Fletcher Jones would have changed. I plan to have all future services performed here More good news , MB Team just serviced my daughters 3 series BMW and found a rattle that was seemingly impossible to determine the origin of.After through and persistent effort it was finally fixed! Additionally, they repaired the suspension on my 21 yer old S 500 Mercedes and it now handles better than ever . These guys are the best .Fair prices ,friendly service and a pleasure to do business with ! read more

MB Elite is the shop to bring your car! Steve (Owner) and Bobby were super helpful and attentive to getting our car fixed. We came in because of a check engine light and a nail in the tire. They helped solve our problems and also made some recommendations around tire pressure as we actually over inflated the tires a bit. Best part, we were in and out in no time. I would highly recommend MB Elite for their knowledge, care, and customer service. Thanks again! read more

my e550 had all sorts of fun stuff going on before Hector and the team got ahold of it. other than the incredibly competitive pricing compared to ANY dealerships, the feeling that you can trust the people working on your car, thats priceless for me. i now have a safe vehicle and they address everything that i brought up to them. didnt even need a rental coz they were so efficient. im sending everyone here. read more

Finding this extremely reliable Mercedes mechanic was the best thing that happened to me. Fletcher Jones had my GLE in for 2 months and charged me over $14,000 and then the same part broke again so I took it to MB Elite and Hector fixed it same day for less than $1,000. Hector is the best!!! Everyone at this shop is so nice and helpful I can't recommend MB Elite enough! read more

I had a great experience here with Hector! He's very honest and kind. I will continue to get my Merceds Maintence done here! I apologize for not knowing the sweet girl that handles the front desk. She's also very helpful and made me feel very comfortable. Thank you! read more

tl;dr If you own a MBZ, this should be your shop. So, my saga started with a salvage CLK that would not start. I was referred to MB Elite for problem cars by another shop, and I'm glad I went there. They diagnosed the issue (bad EIS), and fixed it while apologizing for the cost. Which was mostly parts and not their fault! I've been back twice since for thinks I can't fix, and each time they fixed the problem, have been generous with their advice, and the bill has consistently lower than expected. To top it off, they have done little things on each visit that were above and beyond the call. They are a small shop, and they don't stay open early or late, but they are very much worth your business. My biggest fear is that they get too popular to get a service appointment. Really - this shop is a unicorn. Honest and fairly priced. read more

Came in for Service to MB Elite for the first time outstanding customer service & fair prices. Will be back for any of my car work again ! 100% Recommend read more

My SMART needed an annual service. I called for an appointment and got right in. The new owner and staff were very friendly and efficient. I am very happy with the service and will be returning (and referring). read more

These guys are genuinely care for their customers. Their prices are comparable with other specialty auto repair shops, but they are quick to identify and resolve the issue. I own 3 MB's and to date have been very satisfied with their services. read more

I found this gem on Yelp and couldn't be happier. I wish I could give 6 stars for their amazing service. I needed a B service and FJ was going to charge $560. I called around and MB Elite only charges $250. They are super friendly, nice and HONEST. I brought my car in and they let me use a loaner to get to work while it was being serviced. They gave me a free carwash, AND pulled a huge screw out of my tire and plugged it up for free as well. They also fixed the tire pressure in my tires and my car drives so much better now. Thanks so much Steve and Brandon!! read more

MB Elite - Got my b service done here and received a free car wash and fixed the tire pressure on my tires. Drives so much better now, thank you! - Auto Repair Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Brought a sprinter van in for routine maintenance. Service was great, fast and would highly recommend.

You ruined my engine and kept my car for 3 weeks. Check your records a little better. Beware if your a women they will rip you off. read more

Great service with very reasonable prices, about 40% cheaper than the dealership. The techs have worked at a dealership so they have a lot of experience with MB. Will come back again for more services when needed. Also they included a free car wash which is always a bonus:) read more

MB Elite - Auto Repair Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Being new to the area and needing a shop to take care of my Mercedes, this shop came highly recommended by many in the community that I live. I now understand why they are highly recommended!! I was super impressed with the communications of the shop, from A-Z I was informed of every step and what types of procedures I needed. I had already been to the dealership for a quote and I hadn't told them and they were way under the dealership cost!!! This made me super happy!!! They used Original Equipment Mercedes parts which was extremely important to me!!! It was really cool to meet the owner Steve, he really made me feel like family!! This shop really embodies the meaning of customer service!!! I will definitely recommend my friends and family!! You guys have my business for life!!! Thank You MB Elite!! A+ read more

I called and scheduled an appointment prior to coming in, pulled right in signed up and they were working on my car. They were kind and honest. And my wallet was happy too. I got a service B done on my Mercedes. Very happy with the service I will definitely be a returning customer. read more

Took my car in today for wheel issues. Was told will take about 4 -5 hours. It did and so appreciate great work and got my car washed. Bobby, Steven and Jamie are great. First time not at Fletcher Jones. So much better and they know their stuff. read more

There are shops that simply repair your car and others which bring it back to the showroom shine it deserves, Bobby and Steve make certain that they provide the latter at MB Elite. Their shop is well organized and the mechanics experts that could work the F1 pit lanes for Hamilton himself. MB Elite truly sets the standards and when it comes to your car, it really should be the best or nothing. We spend an average of 17,600 minutes per year, chauffeuring family, friends, and loved ones. MB Elite insures each of those minutes is spent in safety and not on the back of a tow truck. You'll find friendly faces, expert repair, and timely work at the shop. Give them a visit, they'll take great care of you. You've got this client's guarantee. read more

I just brought my car in for the first time for a B service. The prices are much better than Fletcher Jones. They did a good job and finished up in the promised timeframe. Everyone at the shop was friendly. They didn't try to upsell me on a bunch of other stuff. I live a couple minutes away, so they dropped me off at home and picked me back up. I will definitely be back the next time my car needs service. Make sure to make an appointment a few days in advance since this is a busy shop. read more

I drove my Mercedes SLK55 AMG to Newport Beach, CA for a convention. By the time I pulled into the parking lot of my hotel, my power steering unit was completely fried. I called the local Mercedes Dealer, and was told they could "get it in in a few days and the cost of replacement would be $1,300. Since I was only scheduled to be in town for the 2 day convention, this timing would absolutely not work. I looked online for an Mercedes specialist, and found MB Elite. I spoke with Steve in the initial call, he was so unbelievably personable and understanding of my predicament; although it was nearly closing time at their shop, he still invited me to bring the car over for an inspection. I met Tom at the shop who quickly assessed the damage and said he could have the unit replaced by noon THE NEXT DAY! He then helped arrange a rental car for me, Enterprise picked me up, quickly processed the paperwork and had me back to my hotel with a nice rental by 6pm. The following day as I drove the rental car back to MB Elite, I could see my car sitting in front of their shop sparkling from the impeccable wash job they gave it. I paid the bill (which was a fraction of that quoted by the dealer), after-which Tom drove me to Enterprise to return the rental car. Now bear in mind these guys knew I was not local, and that I would not be a regular client. Yet they treated me like I was the most important person in the world. Now THAT is SERVICE!! I drove home from Newport Beach in my clean, great running car, feeling as though I made some really good friends at MB Elite. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about them- by far the best experience I've ever had at an auto repair shop. David Hart- Founder/CEO, RamAir International, Inc. read more

I take my 2004 E320 in for various types of service: Maintenance: Lube, oil, filter: $90, four-wheel alignment: $80, and so. IMO, prices are competitive (when compared to the dealer and other MB shops). Non-maintenance: Here's where it gets good. Had an issue w/ a transmission, in which it would not shift gears. At first they could not figure out what the issue was and had stated the worse case scenario would have been a transmission rebuild (the double by-pass of automotive repairs). But the cool thing was that they were super thorough in their discovery and at the end, Steve and team found the issue to be a faulty valve and software issue, which took a total of two days to find/correct. Throughout this process, their team kept me well informed and updated and I couldn't help to assume another repair shop would have just suggest the rebuild instead of research what the true issue is. Service: As stated in previous experience, it's just the best. Rides to my office when I need and other times, they even replaced car lights free of charge. Car comes back washed every time. Suggestions on upcoming service and what might be a potential concern. Truth is that finding a skilled mechanic can be tough and while I'm not committed to purchasing another Mercedes, I just might so I can have this mechanic work on my future cars. read more

Great service, very professional, and very trustworthy. I have stopped going to the dealer ever since I discovered this place 3 years ago. This place has saved me hundreds of $'s. read more

Came here because the other Mercedes specialist down the street was closed and I am so glad I did! I came here after a horrible incident at Oilstop in Costa Mesa because my car kept telling me that my hood was open because the guy had jammed a rod in to keep my hood open because my struts were blown. All in all, I came here and the guy popped my hood open and saw the problem immediately. The sensor that is under the locking mechanism got pushed out and you could see the wire and sensor just dangling. He fixed it and fixed my wobbly seat in like 10 minutes - fast enough to get my butt into work on time! They were so nice and accommodating I am definitely coming back for my service B which they quoted was going to be around $280 for my C240 :) What a deal! If you have a benz come here! They definitely know what they are doing and are much more affordable then Fletcher Jones. read more

I've been taking my SLK 280 here for several years, recently my engine light came on (I could tell it wasn't bc gas cap was loose ,)) Of course it happened rt before the 4th of July holiday & I had to work. They always take care of me. I trust that this is a place I can take my car to & not get ripped off. They dialed me in with a rental car rt before they closed for 4 days last Wed. . I got my car back today, repair wasn't expensive thankfully but it was wise to not continue to drive it (95,000 miles) , . Another kudos to them -I had a CPO warranty that expired last December & they actually told me about an oil leak I was unaware of & sent me to Fletcher Jones (so I could get it fixed before warranty expired ( would have been $900) , they didn't have to go that extra mile but they did. As a female who doesn't know alot about cars I recommend this place to any Mercedes owner , you get superior service at half the cost of the dealerships. I don't write many reviews but wanted to acknowledge the great people who work there . Won't go anywhere else! & so happy to have by car back :) I'm kinda screwed though as I drove a nice 2013 Corolla for 5 days but my lil hunk of steel is a beauty & I don't think I will buy any other kind ./ so will do everything to keep her running as long as she can ! My most favorite car ever !! read more

I've been taking my C240 here for years. They have always taken care of me 100%, no fluff service recommendations scaring me into paying for things I don't really need, and I have never felt like I got ripped off. Dealer service advisers are so slimy but these guys are friendly and have my trust completely. Never thought I'd be sending positive reviews for a mechanic, but they really do deserve it. read more

Friendly service and great work. Super busy because they are a great shop. Make sure to plan ahead to make sure you get in. This shop is in high demand. read more

I had to update my previous review of MB Elite. These guys are amazeballs!!! Once again, Steve and his guys went above and beyond their call of duty. I was in a pickle and needed my trunk fixed before a road trip to Vegas. I had a budget and they totally helped me out and squeezed me in even though they were already booked for the day. They got on it and busted the work out quick. I was there for all of 20 minutes. They even checked the air in my tires. These guys are always very polite and offer you something to drink while you wait, if they don't drive you down to the awesome little market / restaurant, A Market, to wait That is if you are going to be waiting for a while. I really love this place and the crew that works there. They are beyond knowledgeable when it comes to Mercedes-Benz repair and maintenance. Which is what you want when your getting your Mercedes worked on. It isn't just another car. It is totally worth driving from L.A. to Newport. I recommend this place to anyone who has a Mercedes. You will not, I repeat, will not be disappointed. Once you arrive you know that your baby is going to be taken care of. The place is really clean, which is surprising for an auto shop but then again, this is not any ordinary auto shop ;-) Trust me, take your Mercedes here if you want excellent service done right..... Thanks guys!!! read more
