Saviors! The best. I've been bringing my 1973 Mercedes 450 SL to them for four years and they've taken such great care of my car. She needs work and they brought her back from the dead. They know what to do and when to do it they help you prioritize what's needed and what can wait. they're fast a family business and all my friends with classic cars go to Shant and his son Kevin. highly recommend. From classic to G wagons. read more

The best the best !! So happy to have them take care of my cars ! The customer service doesn't even come close to others!! read more

This team is honest, direct and efficient plus their relationship oriented pricing will keep me coming back. So grateful for this family business and their expertise for my classic Mercedes. read more

Shant & his team at Beverly Laural Automotive are the best to ever do it. If you have a classic Mercedes Benz and you want repairs done properly, this is where you go. With decades of experience being very apparent, I've taken all three of my classic Mercedes here and upon hearing one of the vehicles, Shant knew the issue. Their dedication to doing exceptional work is also apparent. What makes them different is they love these cars as much as we do. Their prices are very fair and what one should expect to pay when having experts of this level repair these classic cars. I'd never take my Mercedes anywhere else. Thank you to everyone at Beverly Laurel who helped. read more

So the father and son team were really really nice. You can tell they know a lot he hooked my car up, figured out what the problem was and got it done efficiently read more

Shant and his team are phenomenal. I've had a 1978 Mercedes coupe since 2008 and Beverly Laurel is by far, far, far the best mechanics I have been to. They know the cars so well and have fixed certain items, like my power rear windows, that had flummoxed multiple other mechanics who also had charged me much more. Shant and his son are always super friendly and detailed in what needs to be done with my car and how much it will cost. Shant even helped me prioritize fixes so I could spread the cost out over time. My car runs probably better than it did when new. Finally, you can just tell they love old Mercedes cars as much as I do. Thanks guys! read more

The rudeness and unethical conduct of Beverly Laurel Automotive's owner named Shant, is shocking. I hardly know where to start. The rating on Yelp is unfathomable, so I do not believe it's a result of customer reviews. (Perhaps due to paid placement?). I will say that after several visits to this shop, I now realize the owner only wants to deal with customers, who exhibit having plenty of disposable income. This is the owner's M-O. I met several well-heeled patrons there, who haven't a care for the over-pricing. His favored customers have older Mercedes, as a fun, extra sports car. On my first visit, he complained about his $13,000 rent, as if it was an excuse to gouge customers. He seemed in a very bad mood. There was no expensive repair necessary, so he was discourage that his mechanics do the work. In the process, he changed his explanation about the necessary repair several times. His final discouragement was that he'd not be able to get to it for 4 weeks, I feel, just to get me to leave, so I did. The experience was extremely poor. About 5 years later, when I was finding it hard to find someone willing to work on my Mercedes top, so I figured I better to go a Mercedes specialist. I thought "ok, maybe it was just a bad experience, so give him another try," so I reluctantly stopped back in the shop. He was busy, so I agreed to wait a week for a diagnostic appointment. I verified the appointment by phone the day before and showed up on time. Upon arrival, it was very hard to get his attention, even though I stood patiently waiting to speak with him for 25 minutes and explained I had an appointment. He said he had no record of the appointment, but I was considerate, because I felt that could happen to anyone. Then he put me off another 2-3 weeks, still just to do a diagnostic. I waited and showed up for the 3rd time, when he said he filled the hydraulic fluid and charged me to do so. I later learned through YouTube videos that the level it was at, was already full as indicated by a line anyone can see on the tank, so my money completely wasted. He just wanted an easy fix, with no diagnostics. Owner Shant explained that the fluid all over the floor and him was the result of him trying to put fluid in, because he didn't use the hose properly. He was clearly annoyed. I paid and drove out. I returned shortly after, when the top did not work. At this point I'd done a lot of online research. By then, I was quite educated about how these tops worked. He complained about having to do diagnostics again. In an effort to save him some trouble, I asked if he was open to my emailing him links of what I believed to be the problem, in an attempt to save him time. He said send it, but ultimately refused to look at them and got angry when I reminded him to he said to send them. We made another appointment. I showed up on time again and just as someone was leaving the shop very angry. Shant told them to "Go f**k themselves," which was a big red flag to me. He told me he didn't want to deal with it. I mentioned that he could have told me that 4 weeks ago."Ok leave it, I'll look at it," he finally said to me. When I did not receive a call back at the promised time, I called him. He impatiently blurted, "Come pick it up!" with no explanation. I asked if it was fixed and he said, "Yes!," but something was fishy in the way he was talking to me. I was accustomed to his brusque manner, but there was something else behind it. Upon arrival, I noticed that suspiciously there were no mechanics at all in the shop. I asked to see it working, because I didn't trust him. After swearing he "got it to go up and down 10 times"-- guess what-- it didn't work. He just wanted me to drive out, shouting, "Get it out of here. I need the space." I asked him what he tried and he said he put some lube in. I saw it all over the side of the panel, so I asked, "Why didn't you even take the panel off? What would make you think just shooting lube in the side would work? You agreed to look at the videos, why do you refuse to do so?" Then he starts getting furious, because his negligence cannot be denied. I suppose I was just another customer exposing him. Then he proceeds to scream at me. Ultimately, the fix was described in one of the Youtube videos. I had to move 2 clips along a metal cable under the front panel about 3/8". That was it. Yes, that simple. Please avoid this shop at all costs. The owner even abuses his son, who seems like a nice man, but it's terribly clear, he's quite sadly under the thumb of his father. This man is best described as a sphincter. read more

I have a 1991 Mercedes 300E that I have owned for 22 years. The body is still in great condition, but the car has had intermittent problems because of the car's age. One morning, 'Champagne'(My family's nickname) would not start. I towed 'Champagne to Beverly Laurel Automotive(At the recommendation of my other mechanic who was no longer servicing older Mercedes). I am so glad that I did. Kevin took care of me and 'Champagne' with the car only needing some minor adjustments. Pricing was reasonable and their repair team's knowledge of what to do and how to do it was impressive. I have to rate this a resounding 5 star experience. read more

Beverly Laurel Automotive - 1984 380SL R107 - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Shant and his team are the best in the business. I have a 2006 CLK 350 convertible and have been a customer for at least thirteen years. it's solely because of them that my car is still on the road and driving like new. I also cannot remember how many times I e gone in and asked to fix something and he said "Steve, you don't need that" and he turns a screw or puts a plug back in and I'm on my way. when I needed tires he sent me to an amazing tire shop. he cares. his billing is so reasonable and honest he single-handedly restored my faith in mechanics. read more

Terrific knowledge, good communication, honest pricing, top notch work- really the best!

I have had a 280SL ('78 Stick) a 1982 300TD, a 1995 E320 Wagon, a 2014 GL350 Bluetec, and currently, a near perfect 2003 SL500!...Shant, his son Kevin and the rest of the team (shout out to Mario and Marco!) are AMAZING! Great problem solvers and they encourage me to not overspend! They keep my nice cars in great shape and they are always a pleasure to work with! Thanks guys! Robby read more

My second time at this great place. My last visit was an emergency as mice ate the wiring! Very happy to find such good service for my diesel Mercedes. I always feel taken care of and the prices are fair. read more

Very simply put: If you own a classic Mercedes Benz in Los Angeles there is no other game in town that comes close to the expertise, knowledge, care, and love for these beautiful cars as does Shant and Kevin. I have several classic cars including an '88 560SL and would absolutely jump into a 2nd classic MB due to having Beverly Laurel Automotive nearby! read more

Horrible attitude from owner (Father) he is a complete asshole. The (Son) is very kind and helpful and great. Basically I got a flat tire in my Mercedes Benz near this place and I had my young son with me. The son was there by himself because it was the end of the day. He was very kind and helped me change my tire cuz I didnt have a Jack. I told him I would come back for service and I scheduled an appointment a month later. I get there and the father comes to me and has this shitty attitude asks me if my car is salvaged and then tells me I monkied around with the car too much and he doesn't wanna do any diagnostics. I was like wow are you serious? First of all my car is NOT salvaged and second I have not DONE anything myself I hired mechanics to do NORMAL SERVICE and the father is a complete jackass who has a bad attitude. I had $3000 cash in my pocket and he was acting like I was poor. Probably because I dress with baggy pants and a baseball hat. Yeah but did you see my brand new Pirelli PZero tires running staggered you old man. Kiss my ass I'll take my money somewhere else!!! read more

These guys helped fix my car for FREE. It was something silly with the battery but still. They could've charged anything in the desperate situation I was in but instead helped me for free. Next time I need maintenance or repair, this will be my go to place. read more

Just sold my mercedes 560SL that Shant and his son Kevin have taken care of for years.. I sold it with confidence because I knew these men did everything right to my car.. if you need convincing go to their shop. it is like a hollywood hidden secret. You will walk into a modest mechanics garage off the beaten path only to enter and see vintage mercedes from 1920 to present day.. Shant has ground up restorations done on any Mercedes you can bring.. this is the experience this man has.. on any typical day there will be a rare 100-200k benz sitting right next to your car.. I can not praise them enough.. They go above and beyond to please their customers and in this day and age we all know how rare that is.... read more

Best Benz shop in town . Great team, professional and just plain honest. Will recommend to all my friends.

Awesome work Sean! 1995 E300 Diesel. He got everything done the correct way. Now she runs like new again. Will definitely come back (hopefully not too soon) for future repairs/maintenance. These guys really know a lot about old school Mercedes and particularly the older diesel Mercedes. Not a lot of knowledgable places that can correctly maintain older Mercedes diesels these days. Thank you Sean!! read more

Thank you Beverly Laurel for being so good and being an integral part of this car family. read more

Beverly Laurel Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It truly doesn't get any better than this place. I've got an '81 300d - a very reliable car with low mileage, but still bit finicky given the build and age. Shant, Kevin and the team treat it like their own. I even came for a pick-up once to the surprise of them having cleaned/degreased the engine because "it deserved it." Over and above service. Honest and reliable guys. If you drive a Benz - old or new - don't waste your time going anywhere else. this.is.the.spot. read more

Mom and pop operation that really know their way around Mercedes. I would recommend him to everybody and anybody.

Shant and his team are simply the best. My family and I have been coming here for years. I recently brought my car in for service and was reminded how great they are. I do not know much about cars and it is such a relief to work with an honest team that I can trust. They're also super friendly and responsive, which I really appreciate. Fair pricing and very knowledgeable. I cannot recommend Beverly Laurel Automotive enough! read more

This is simply amazing that Shandt and family have nothing but 5 star reviews! Well, here comes another. These guys are great. I had a shreaded fan belt on my 2002 E55 and the car would barely run. I called on a friday, late afternoon, probably close to 6:00pm. The answered the call and let me come down. The jumped right on the car, even though the store was technically closed and 15 minutes later the car was back on the road and I was good to go. World class service! read more

I own a 1985 300TD and I wouldn't trust it to any except Shant and his team (Mario!!!). I have had the car for over 8 years and they have taken really good care of my 300. The engine running so smooth and quite for a 1985 diesel, it seriously is amazing. Parts for these cars are getting hard to come by and discontinued by MB but Shant and Co are really good about either sourcing random parts or having really good work arounds. Shant is a walking encyclopedia of Mercedes maintenance. TAKE YOUR MERCEDES TO THESE GUYS!!! You won't regret it! I have referred a handful of people here, everyone loves it. read more

This my first yelp review. It's unusual to find a business that is so exceptional that I feel compelled to share it with the world. I am a car guy that does a lot of my own work and I'm very particular, there are very few shops that meet my standards, Beverly Laurel Mercedes is one of them. The owner, Shant, is good man as well as an absolute Mercedes Benz genius. I feel a little offended about the woman who wrote the review above, saying that he "swindled" her for charging 1/2 hour labor after spending 20 minutes on her car. (With no appointment, just a wild guess). It's safe to say that many shops would have just put the new part in and never told her that it was just an unplugged cable.I guess you can't please everyone... All of my experiences with this shop, and Shant, have proven him to be as honest as the day is long. I know for a fact that he will not take the short-cut even when it would be more profitable. I'm an unusual customer in that I know the cars quite well and know exactly whether someone id BS'ing me or not. I recently brought him one of my cars to look over, just get his opinion on it. He's dropped what he's doing and looked over my cars many times, only charging me when he actually fixes something and then always a fair price. I've also bought parts from them, fair prices as well. Some of the regular clientele of this business have dropped-out since they moved to the valley, it would be a huge loss to the world of Mercedes repair if Shant ever retired or moved elsewhere. That is why I'm vouching for them here. They are exceptional. read more

See all

Simply the best. Whether the car is 20 years old or 2 years old, their prices are fair and their diagnostics impeccable.

great place, fast, half the price of the dealer and better. I needed brakes on a 2011 e350. Dealer started air $1,200. Shan't said to me "look at your rotors". I said they look new to me. He said exactly. Go have a cup of coffee and come back in 2 hours....$600.00. read more

I love Beverly Laurel and I certainly hope they stay in business for a long time, because I am not planning on taking my Mercedes elsewhere for the rest of my life. They call when they say they are going to call. The prices are good. The car is ready when they say it's going to be ready. And when you go there, you get to visit a mini Mercedes museum, because at any time, you'll see an entire floor of vintage Mercedes from the 60s, through the 80s. You want all of them. But you can't have them. URGGGGH. Yeah, don't go elsewhere, and certainly don't go to the expensive dealers, you know who you are.... read more

These guys do great work - they are Mercedes wizards but don't charge Mercedes prices. I have been in 3 times. Shant and his team will get my business as long as I own my Mercedes. Thanks guys for the outstanding service you provide. read more

Shant is the only one who allowed to work on my E class. Since 2009 he has serviced my car and is the best Mercedes mechanic in LA. He's also very fast, no more than a couple hours. I brought my car in late one time and he gave me his own personal merc to use for the night. Recently bought our second Mercedes and know it will be in taken care of by the best in town! read more
