Randy & Ramon have always gone above and beyond to support me with all of my vehicles and have been coming here for years now. I recently brought two Mercedes sprinters and not only were they able to provide solutions but a promptly fast response to get my vehicles back on the road. Thanks Randy and Ramon for always delivering phenomenal service and reasonable pricing for the quality of work you do. I will continue to refer more business here. read more

I've been a repeat customer since 2012 but will no longer use Menrad for my repairs. I hired them to diagnose a leak in my 2016 Sprinter's 722.6 transmission which they failed to correctly address at my expense. Though Menrad is not specifically a transmission shop, they agreed to look at it since they have experience servicing this model transmission which was commonly used in many Mercedes (and Chrysler) models for several years. When first speaking with Randy about diagnosing my transmission leak, he agreed the job should take one to two hours. Unfortunately, only when picking up the vehicle did I learn the bill grew without authorization into a parts and near 3 hr labor bill totaling $467.08. For some reason the replaced part was a connector that they were made aware had been previously replaced three times without resolving the leak. With the fourth install similarly failing to resolve the leak, Menrad concluded that replacing the transmission Conductor plate would solve the problem. Menrad's quote for this job was over $1400 in addition to the $467.08 for their diagnosis. Due to cost, I chose to take on the conductor plate replacement myself. With the new part ordered online (roughly $100) I proceeded to remove the old conductor plate and take a closer look. Under extensive examination I was unable to observe ANY mechanical damage with the mating connection or supporting hardware. The threaded insert was intact and there were no cracks anywhere in the pin connector or mechanical brace. It was my opinion at this point that this conductor plate could not have been the reason for my leaking transmission plug. With the "old" conductor plate and attached valve body removed from the transmission, I finally learned what everyone had to be doing wrong which was creating the oil leak. Simply stated, the plug (which in my case had been replace now FOUR times) was NOT being SEATED properly against the transmission housing. Not being a Mercedes mechanic, I accept full blame for two of the failed installations. However, when you pay a "PROFESSIONAL MERCEDES MECHANIC", there's an expectation that this is not their first time performing ANY repair. Particularly, on a transmission that Mercedes had in production for many years and used in multiple cars and vans. Properly seating a poorly designed connector is exactly why one hires a professional mechanic in the first place. One shouldn't have to pay to R&D the proper installation technique to seal a production model transmission electrical plug. Rather than being refunded for the incorrect diagnosis, I was instead congratulated by Randy for "figuring it out". This is not what I expected from someone who I had done business with for years and had misdiagnosed a problem they should have been experienced in recognizing. I understand Menrad is not a trans repair shop, but a proper trans fluid servicing includes replacing this connector. This connector seating issue should have been the type of routine problem understood and anticipated by an experienced repair shop. Needless to say Menrad has still not offered a refund (partial or otherwise) for getting the diagnosis wrong, nor an apology for recommending an additional $1400+ in unnecessary repairs. Anyone have any recommendations?? (FULL DISCLOSURE: A Sprinter Van repair shop also failed at solving this issue, so there's clearly more than one repair shop who couldn't solve this issue on their first attempt. Designing such a part with a high rate of failure ultimately falls on Mercedes and/or the training provided their mechanics. Based on this and my 2005 SL/500 experience (a nightmare for another posting), I have without question, purchased my last Mercedes!) read more

Randy and his mechanics were very professional . They kept in contact telling me the issues with our car . They even finished sooner than expected . Shop is small however it's ran like a good ole fashion shop where you're taken well care of . They even followed up making sure I was satisfied . Try them you won't be disappointed. read more

Our entire family drives Mercedes vehicles we have been using Menrad Motors for more than 20 years and have come to rely upon their quality service and commitment to customers for all our cars, we wouldnt go anywhere else. Thanks to Randy, Raul and Ramon for keeping our cars going all these years. read more

I only have great things to say about Menrad Motors. I was referred to them by a friend of mine. After another shop completely botched up my vehicle and didn't do the job properly, I needed to find someone who knew how to properly work on a smart car. Other than obviously taking it into the dealership. And btw, there were only a couple of them left who knew how to work on my car too! Nevertheless, I explained in detail what had transpired from the previous shop and that the same job needed to be redone. It needed a new valve gasket cover/seal, spark plug seals, factory coils and spark plugs, etc. Oh and I needed it to pass smog too! Luckily, they were diligent, patient and very informative about the process, what was going on and what needed to happen to fix my car. The job was RE-done properly by Ramone and he was able to take my car to get smogged and now I am good to go, yay! PLUS their rates were extremely fair and reasonable. HIGHLY recommend Randy and Ramone for all your car needs. Thanks again! read more

Purchased 2002 E430 in October 2005, with a little more than 34K miles - it's been coming here for all service and repairs since, and it's still on the road at 265,000 miles. They were awesome when Jeff ran the place and Randy has continued the same high level of service. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Menrad Motors - +264,000 miles - no longer main vehicle but it still looks and runs great, thanks to the service provided by Menrad Motors. - Auto Repair Near Me - Covina, California

Its a Mechanic I have taken my Euro's for decades. Quality work is performed here.

Randy and the staff are top notch! Highly recommend them! Only place I will service my car. So much better than any Mercedes dealership. Fast, honest and reliable. read more

Above and beyond Randy and his team go for their customers! Always satisfied with my experiences here. Why go to the dealer? Appreciate the work and service here! 5 Stars! read more

I was a first timer customer took my car for an A/C compressor replacement of 03' E500 MB... Spoke to Randy and told me that his tech will check and diagnose the problem. It was great coz it was not a bad compressor but instead it's a bad SAM module and that cost me much less... I will highly recommend this shop to my friends and relatives for their expertise & honesty. They do a great job !! read more

Honest and very reasonable M Benz mechanic!!! They do exist!!! Husband very happy with Randy the owner. read more

Best service ever! Have a c300 that needed maintenance. Called, made an appointment for that day and brought my car in. Not only are their rates the best in town so is the service! Will definitely come back. read more

I was referred to this repair shop by an imports shop in Glendora. We have a 93 E300 that was having some leaking issues. When I took the car in, I asked that they check up on a bit of everything because the car was taken to another shop and it still runs like total crap. We had spoken to the owner about what needed to be done, he was quick o diagnose most of the problems during the 15 mins we were there. He was very helpful in giving us his parts pricing as well a his labor rate. I thought the labor was a little high ($90/hour), but we felt comfortable enough that they would get the car into tip top shape. We came out at fair price for as much as we had done, we are very pleased and excited to finally be able to drive it around with it overheating or dying out in an intersection! :) read more

I have a '95 S300 (W140) that has required some special care and love. Randy has been great for accommodating my car's needs and Dave is a masterful mechanic who knows the car inside and out. I think this is a great business! read more

The quality of their work is without equal. These guys know everything there is to know about Mercedes. They diagnosed my car's problem quickly and accurately. David, one of the master mechanics, took time to thoroughly explain everything involved to repair my car. When everything was completed, I could see the personal pride that David takes in the work he did. It made me feel good too. Clearly, I felt that I got my money's worth for the quality of work that the guys at Menrad Motors did for me. read more

I can't say enough about these guys. Hands down one of the most reliable and most honest mechanics I've ever met. I've tried other mechanics (due to the driving distance) and I never feel as confident as I do when I send my Benz to these guys. They are upfront with costs and what work is required. Read the other reviews and you'll start to get an idea why they are a 5 star. read more

Amazing service. Randy takes the time to explain everything needed and really is honest! He is very realistic, which I truly appreciate . Our family takes all of our benz's there. read more

Thank you for the wonderful easy service, all the information about my car . I will be back and I will recommend this business to everyone. Thank you Rose. read more

Great company to do business with. Very knowledgeable staff. Good at diagnosing annoying problems. Would recommend if you need service on your Benz . read more

I'm so glad I found this place. They have made my owning a Mercedes a more happy time. They are very significantly cheaper than the dealer that I have proven for a fact. Jeff and Randy are real nice people they provide excellent customer service. First time I came here I was happy to see that they too offer complimentary wash just like the dealer. Recommend all your friends if they want to see huge savings on repairs and maintenance. read more

Randy always goes the extra mile. Good service , and reasonable pricing Keep up the good work fellas ....

I was referred to Menrad motors by a very picky friend of mine. Based on his general views I "rolled the dice" & gave them a try. I have not stopped raving about them since. Very honest and fair prices across the board. Also easily the cleanest shop besides a dealership you will ever witness. That itself means a lot to me. Thank you Jeff for allowing me to drive my car (which has over 200K miles) and not worry about having to pay dealership prices on any possible repairs. If I could give them 10 stars I would. read more

The absolute best mercedes mechanics anywhere. Extremely helpful staff, very knowledgable mechanics. You see all walks of life here as far as the customer base. All ages of people, and all ages of cars. They know what common issues all models have, diagnose quickly, repair same-day every time I've been here, and the pricing is on par for the work. Every mercedes in the area has a Menrad license plate frame for a reason. read more

Randy at Menrad Motors was referred to me. Unbelievable, a truly amazing technician with honesty and character. Our family can't thank Menrad Motors enough! My wife's Mercedes 450 G.L. Stopped on vacation; 125 miles away from home. The first and only time the Mercedes broke down. We had the car towed to the Mercedes Dealer in Orange County. Her G.L. was just out of factory warranty (about 1000 miles). The Mercedes dealer told me "The main computer went bad, it is dead and they must replace the unit." The service writer told me the repair was going to be over $2,500. We had the car towed to Randy at Menrad where they did performed a diagnostic to find the computer worked perfectly. The car only needed a battery charge. I asked Randy to replace the Battery to Make Sure the car would be the most dependable in the future. Randy is amazing and our new technician! Thank You Again! I will bring my 2nd personal Mercedes to Randy This Week to Be Serviced! read more

I thought Menrad Motors was a good one. There is Mercedes service. The interior is good. There is a waiting area.

Great interaction with this business today .. I am happy and that's hard to do they have great customer service and I will sure be recommending them .. I walked in and they took care of everything I needed at an honest price .. read more

Tried to have smog check, and found out there were something wrong with my car's computer...I called Menrad motors and they told me to come and have my problem check....this kinda custumer service just make me so glad that I found this place...kudos to Menrad motors read more

I've been taking my Mercedes here for the last few years and they are always so honest and fair. As a woman and I think this goes for anyone, I feel like they are not taking advantage of me. Their prices are fair and my car is always clean after any service done here. Keep up the GREAT job Menrad!! I know they have a lot of loyal customers because of this. To find someone who specializes in Mercedes and doesn't rip you off is heaven! :-) read more

So you have a Mercedes and you need it repaired. You don't need to go anywhere else. I wont bore you with my story other then Penske wanted over 10,000.00 minimum and would not give me any guarantees what so ever! They just wanted to replace parts. I searched and got referrals from other mechanics and found Jeff & Randy. So i have a 2010 Mercedes Bluetech diesel and I have a very good understanding of cars but this car has been by far the most difficult and challenging! Jeff was up for the Challenge and did the research and repaired it! :) His labor & parts were under 3500.00 . His hope and goodwill, PRICELESS! By the way i have owned over 100 vehicles. As far as i am concerned anyone who has a new Mercedes is paying too much if they go to the dealer. Use a car service, Uber or have a friend help you deliver your car with the money you save you can pay for the extra service and enjoy a great dinner. read more

Terrible dishonest car dealer. Lied about condition of car sold on eBay and stuck me with a $3900 bill. Then promised to pay a small amount and failed to deliver. Total liars, stay away! read more

I have been going to Menrad since 2008 and have always received great service at fair prices. I recently purchased a 1984 MB 300SD Turbo Diesel. Menrad has experienced technicians and was able to perform a valve adjustment. Few other shops can do this correctly. If you have an MB then this is the place to go. They also do the scheduled maintenance required by MB to keep your warranty current. read more

I trusted this facility with the detailing of a car I had for sale. My husband picked it up without inspecting it, as he expected good quality work. Upon inspection when he arrived home, he found all kinds of new black marks on the dash and inside of the vehicle, a browish substance all over the carpeting that was not present prior to bringing the car in, and white wax remnants all over the exterior black trim that hadn't been cleaned off during the detailing. They offered to inspect the car again and make it right , but it was being picked up by a buyer within the half hour. Needless to say, the detailing at this facility seemed to overlook the details. The guy who takes the calls and makes the appts promised good quality work, but then admittedly never even looked at it when it was completed. I would not trust this facility based on this experience. read more
