I needed a 30k service for my MB CLA45 AMG. I called the dealership and they quoted me $2500 just for the service itself. A coworker recommended this place to me and I'm so thankful that they did. When I first called, they quoted me $110+tax for my whole service including labor. I knew my brake pads and rotors were on their way out but he called me telling me that they were more far gone than I should've ever let them go. He replaced all my brakes and rotors at the same time and saved. me. a. fortune. They're Benz certified, so they had all the parts for my car on hand already unlike some other dealers that needed me to call ahead so they could order my filters & brakes. When I drove off, it was like driving a brand new car. Be sure to use cash to pay for the service, though. There is a fee to use card and the fee would've added a little over a hundred to my total. read more

I own an older Benz with almost 200k on it, and have been to the dealership, which obviously does good work (and charges a lot) and another indie in the area who also did good work (quite expensive). After coming here, I will never take my car to anyone else but Udo. Not only does his shop do immaculate work, know exactly what they are doing, and won't blow smoke up you know where, but he will try to charge you the least he possibly can. I even pay less for oil changes with him than I would if I went to a cheap quick lube place, and he uses only Agip oil. Heck, he's even helping me get a new set of tires at least possible price, knowing which ones are exactly what I need without paying a ridiculous amount of cash. It's family run, and his ethics and skill are matched only by his character. read more

Udo took care of my 2010 Infiniti EX with 100k+ miles by fixing transmission problem, engine problem, and did a tune-up for a very good price. I was even able to negotiate. His mechanics, Mark and Joe are very knowledgeable and helpful people. I would definitely use his service again! read more

Udo is a one-of-kind person with outstanding ethics and integrity but best of all, someone I am honored to call my friend. I trust his expertise and workmanship with a couple of historic cars as well as with my everyday vehicles. I always rest easy that my cars will be treated BETTER than I would treat them myself while they are at his establishment. I trust the straight-shooting style of Udo and his mechanics, Mark and Joe, and best of all, when I walk in the front door I am always so pleasantly greeted by the smiling Leigh. The trip to Udo's is always worthwhile, from the quality service at MUCH better than dealer pricing, to the lively conversation that can range from forecasting weather to the politics of the day. Cars fixed well and fairly priced and an education on most anything else I need to know! You don't get better than that. CF read more

If you expect Udo or his staff to sweet talk you, don't go there. If on the other hand you want to be treated fairly and have top notch mechanics work on your high end European car for reasonable prices, I highly recommend this place. Joe worked on my 08 CLS63 AMG and I was so impressed by his methodical, diagnosis skills as well as his refusal to take short cuts by throwing part after part on the car until it's fixed. His recommendation on things to fix rejuvenated the car to a level I didn't think possible, he is a real pro and my car runs and idles like new. What I also gathered from Udo is that he is not interested in a high volume of cars but rather quality work and happy customers, he is too proud to overcharge, thank you!! read more

I cannot recommend Udo's highly enough. So many mechanics out there charge you an arm and a leg and then stiff you on price and quality. Udo's is fairly priced, they tell it to you how it is, and they use authentic parts. Most importantly, they are extremely knowledgeable. Within minutes of showing up, they diagnosed the issue with my car and while they were repairing it, discovered a half-dozen other issues that would've caused me a huge headache later on. If you have an older European car like I do, don't go anywhere else--I know I won't. read more

Great place to have your car fixed if you're looking for an honest, reliable, reasonably priced and TRUSTWORTHY place. Oh, and the work is EXCELLENT! I always know my car is in good hands when I go to Udo's. Thank you Udo and Joe for always doing great work! read more

These guys are awesome! I do a lot of my own work because I don't trust dealers to take care of me. With these guys, not only will they take care of your car, they will take care of you. So take care of Udo and Joe as there aren't many good people in business these days. read more

Was not happy with my visit. Went to look at the cars in the parking lot out of interest. Was promptly told to leave and that I was not welcome. Afterwards I had realized this was a repair facility which the owner did not explain. read more

Udo and his team have performed excellent service on my cars! He helped me over the phone and was so nice, helpful, and understanding. He really knows his stuff about cars and isn't out to rip you off either. He's very fair with pricing and does 5-star work. I would recommend him to people with cars of any kind and are ready for a great experience in a well run shop! read more

I've been going to Udo's for years. I use to take my car to the dealership and was overpaying and not getting the customer service I expected. Udo is one of the nicest people you will meet. He gets straight to the point and will not have you waiting anymore than you have to. He is a man of his word and will consistently be cheaper and provide the best service of anyone I know. I couldn't say enough about how happy I am taking my car there. read more

Heaven is a wonderful car that purrs better than any kitten and boy oh boy does my Jaguar do that! I just brought it home after having major work done to it (I mean, after 112,000 miles it does need some attention) and the car drives like it's brand new. I have a 2006 Jaguar XJ8 - yes folks, I don't apologize for a V8 engine so well engineered it beat the 6 cylinders of it's day - that runs so well because of the superbly outstanding care it's been given by Udo. Why anyone would go anywhere else is beyond me. Can you imagine 112,000 no trouble miles? Well that's been my experience. It has always been a pleasure to bring my car here - Udo is a wonderful person, more knowledgeable than anyone else I've ever met, is completely ethical and runs a very tight ship. His mechanic, Joe, has done such a great job as has everyone else Udo has had work on my car. Customer service is phenomenal. They called me today to tell me my car was done & picked me up to get it. Drive by, look at all the exotic and antique babies in that lot. That says it all. If you love cars the way I do, you'll take yours only to Udo. read more

I give Udo 6 stars. I had problem with my convertible Benz, The roof was not working and I was told just to leave it alone or spend thousands on fixing it. Udo found the problem and fixed it for a couple of hundred. He is honest a good mechanic and I highly recommend this place. read more

Udo has worked on my cars for 20 years. He does the best work, and is always honest. I wouldn't go anywhere else. His mechanics are very knowledgeable and his prices are always better than the dealers as is the work! read more

Went back many times later and each time is the same....Udo opines on various topics (he is a talker) but he always delivers with fair pricing and honesty. Sometimes you have to be flexible with timing as he does get backed up from all the demand. Lastly, if it is an easy fix...he often doesnt charge. Who does that these days! I am fortuante to have him in the area. read more

Udo and Joe are experienced and trustworthy mechanics. I have had only good experiences with them for repairs and maintenance to my BMW and Audi respectively (brakes, rotors, blower motor, starter motor, oil changes etc.). They have saved me a lot of $$ in comparison to what local dealerships are charging, and for a far more personal and accessible service. If you want a no nonsense approach to getting your car assessed and back in action quickly then Udo's is a safe bet. read more

D' Best!!!! ive been to all the other mechanics in the area he is the best by far dont even wast ya time with anyone else no one understands Mercedes like him read more

We were extremely impressed, starting with the receptionist to the mechanic, and especially with the owner Udo. In the past, whenever we went to a mechanic, always needed to go back a second time since something else was wrong....not with Udo. He is extremely proud of his establishment and workmanship and rightfully so. Will continue to go back to him with my Mercedes CL500. read more

Udo's Automotive alleges it installed a new control unit for my Porsche when I brought him the car in April 2010. According to an authorized Porsche dealer to which I ultimately brought my car in for final repair, the control unit installed in my Porsche was 12 years old (made in 1999) and had failed. Udo refuses now to produce proof of his purchase of the part which I needed and for which I had been charged a new part price. Without this piece of evidence, Porsche won't be able to honor their 2-year warranty. Udo refuses to reimburse me. read more

I have read all the reviews and I agree with them. But don't be fooled, you don't need a Jaguar, Benz, or Bentley to go to Udo's. We own 3 Fords and an Oldsmobile and we wouldn't go anywhere else. Udo treats our 23 year Ford Escort with the same respect as any other luxury car in his garage. No matter how busy he is, he will take time to listen or ride in your car so he can diagnose the problem.He always tells us what's wrong before he starts repairs, always gives an informed estimate of how much the repairs will cost and always shows you the broken parts before you leave. The entire staff is top rate from Leigh in the office to the mechanics Mark and Joe to Udo himself. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Be warned he is a character who can charm you with a funny story or anecdote, but he is dead serious when it comes to fixing what's wrong with your car. He gives you great service at a reasonable price. . read more
