Left Mercedes Dealership, where I was only a number fighting poor service and trying to envelope a workable relationship only to have turnover in staff to force me to start over. Found Raymond and brought one of my Mercedes-Benz in for service witch went well and cost less than dealer ship. My relationship and trust is through Raymond! So far, so good. Thanks.

These guys are the BEST! They shopped around and found me an OEM part to save me money - I didnt even have to ask. Fixed my broken part and the scratches on my car in a few hours for less than 1/3 of the internet estimates! Highly recommend!!

Very sleazy.went there for smog test. They told me it would be $58. When I picked up the car, they showed me under my hood there was a piece of a hose was clearly not connected. They charged me $49 for the failed test.Why did they go ahead and did the test when they could clearly see the missing piece of the hose?After I paid, they told me it will cost me another $40 to get re-rested after I get my hose repaired.Dont go there.

Raymond and his crew are a pleasure to work with. Ive been taking my car to them for years. They are honest, expedient and an overall fantastic value. Less than half the price of the dealerships with just as great service. Highly recommend

I have been coming here for all my Benz’s since I moved to California in 2015. Ming, Raymond, and their entire staff has always been very professional, efficient, no BS, doesn’t try to overcharge me, tell me honest opinions on what needs servicing and what can wait, and prices are very reasonable for the HIGH quality of work they do. I HIGHLY recommend them for any of your Mercedes servicing needs.

Review №15

Update:They sent multiple service request emails less than a year after my service and never addressed the mistakes they made servicing my car. I would not recommend. See below to understand why.While I should assume they did a service, the service indicator was NOT reset, and there was grease all over my steering wheel after the service. I’m not sure this is a place I’d trust with my car with due to lack of attention to detail if nothing else.I also tried to call them three times to discuss the issues over the phone with no answer. Now I’ve given up and wrote this review, so it’s not for lack of trying to understand what went wrong.The people I talked to there were quite pleasant. So it’s too bad the service on my vehicle wasn’t to the standard I expect.

Ming and his shop personnel are thorough and top notch in their technical expertise and customer service and support. We always go back to Mings shop for service and repair for every Mercedes automobile weve owned since 1983. Ming and his shop personnel can be trusted to do all kinds and levels of repair and maintenance. He is honest and trustworthy. We depend on him to do whatever our cars need to keep us safe year after year. We are thankful to Ming for his help.

Had a once over look on my 10 year old GLK before a 2750 mile trip. Raymonds techs are careful and detailed. I was given an advance notice on things weve been watching that will need attention so that I can plan ahead.I like to wait for my car, so reserve my last star for a clean and comfortable place to work...

Have been taking for annual inspection since we moved to the area. The service is great. They call for any recommendation and fair pricing. Good quality for reasonable price. I strongly recommend them.

Truly professional team and very reasonable. I highly recommend taking your Mercedes out to this workshop, if you want to stay away from those crazy Merc dealers. I did! I own an ML350 (2015) and really care for my beast!

Once again I had excellent service at Mercedes service of Mountain View. I called yesterday morning and within 30 minutes my car was taken in, I was offered a loaner car, and I picked up my car at the end of the day with very accurate charges that were quoted beforehand. Raymond took excellent care of me from beginning to end. He knows my car history and always helpfully answers my questions as to when I need my next service.I highly recommend Mercedes Service of Mountain View!LDB( Mountain view)

Review №29

Ive been taking my Mercedes to Mings shop for a decade now. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Theyre the most competent, honest, and friendly people. Ive also saved a lot of money by not going to the dealer. One time, a dealer quoted me 5 items to be repaired, but Ming gave me his honest opinion that only 2 items needed repair. Theyre the best!

Review №33

I was Mercedes Exclusive customer for years. Since their quality of service dropped and price went up a lot, I decided to go somewhere else. I had small services somewhere in Santa Clara for a short time. Since intake manifold is a big one this time, I shopped around. While I found Ming, the reviews showed many of them were customers from Mercedes Exclusive too. Their feedback convinced me with similar experience. I decided to go with Ming who didnt disappoint me at all: the service was done within 1 day. And they mailed/emailed the report with corrected code. I am glad to have Ming nearby. :-)

Brought my Mercedes ML 320 in for some complicated engine issues and both guys were friendly and helpful. They were able to troubleshoot and fix my car while keeping the costs down. They also kept me updated throughout the week and were accommodating of my schedule to pick up the car. Will come back here in the future.

Wouldnt take my 2012 C250 Coupe anywhere else. Ming and his team know their stuff. I leave safe in the knowledge that my car has been taken care of as well as it would have been at any Mercedes dealership, but for a LOT less money. Raymond at the front desk is also a pro, and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.

Expertise cannot be beat.Ming and his expert professional mechanics made my 1986 MB 560SL to operate like the day I originally took it from the showroom, and yet Ming is still convinced he can improve on the idle modules function! Impressive! The positive warmth and respect given me by Ming and Raymond makes going to this shop a delight.Recommended

Ming, Raymond and the rest of the crew are amazing! Theyve kept ol Blue going and expect another 100k more. Great work, fair prices and Noble commitment to doing the right thing.

Review №44

Fast, friendly, professional service. For a modest fee, you can pay your DMV registration here after your smog passes, and get your sticker without dealing with the DMV directly. Worth the extra cost, IMO.

Called multiple times . Claimed that they were busy and hung up on me immediately. Couldnt even ask for a manager. Apparently they didnt even have time to ask whats wrong in a call.

Review №47

Highly recommended. I will definitely return here for smog tests. They also provide some limited DMV registration and ownership change services.I had to wait a few minutes for the one employee to serve a previous customer, but their service was clear and fast! Their prices are written clearly on the wall (and that they accept credit or debit for smog tests).

Review №51

I love coming here for smog or vehicle registration! Joe is honest and I trust him to tell me what’s really going on with my vehicles. He almost always gets me in on the spot but call ahead just in case. I don’t know why anyone would go to a DMV and wait all day for basic vehicle registrations though. I’m always in and out quick at Smog-It. They even have free WiFi in the waiting room if you want it. I can’t recommend them enough!

Review №54

Honest: no unscrupulous surcharges for SUVs; no reliance on coupons for reasonable prices (prices are posted clearly). These are common pricing tricks (that I hated) in other smog test providers. Note the (posted) $8.xx DMV charge is charged by everyone. In the past I put up with all these pricing tricks at other providers to save a few dollars but it’s maddening and I will no longer do that. Smog testing is based on defined legal standards so the work is precisely the same everywhere. Choosing a provider just comes down to price or service - I choose service at Smog It Test Center.

Review №57

Brilliant. They kept everything very simple/low-fuss. No appointment, waiting room with WiFi, courteous/conscientious staff who gave me accurate wait times for the whole affair. Even stopped to check if I needed the inspection at all - to be sure I didnt pay for a procedure the state didnt need. They submit electronically, so no need to do any additional paperwork on my side.

Review №63

Ming was wonderful letting me know that it was dangerous to drive my car given abc malfunction and fluid leak, that it would be expensive so if I had warranty at dealership that I should take it there, and that my prior car repair place had likely loosened the hoses to require anothor service. I feel blessed by his honesty and kindness. I will come here in the future.
