I'm an old Mercedes technician /shop owner myself and long retired after 24 years, so I need to trust a shop since i cant work on my 2 Mercedes anymore. They need to have factual Mercedes experience what Elite has since they only do Mercedes. I had a A/C Clutch disintegrating issue on my 2011 Mercedes Gl 350 blutec/ diesel 156,000 miles and choose to replace serpentine belt - tensioner and 2 rollers as preventive service, under service they found a power steering pump issue, past owner used stop leak ! issue it had axial excessive shaft play, so authorized to install a rebuilt unit, all done in 1 day, all for fair price and with good service (excellent) i should say As a old European trained Mercedes tech and past owner of 6000 sq feet shop w 8 bays i can highly recommend Elite, no free croissants no cappuccinos no free car washes but great service and by FAR better price (labor rate) than dealers read more

I ordered a cover for my boat so I had to get it modified to fit then when installed it rained a little a the color from the cover bleed all mover anything it was touching. This Company uses very very low quality materials. Buyer be ware and they do not back up defective product read more

Excellent place I love this place. It's the best place to go. No rip off truthful get it done immediately. I will never go back to Mercedes-Benz dealership. never great excellent place !! read more

I have been going to Elite Motors for over 14 years and would only bring my Mercedes here to get fixed. They are honest and fair in their pricing. read more

I purchased a used Mercedes. I needed to find a reliable, honest mechanic. My neighbor recommended Elite Motors. When At gas stations and parking lots, I always ask Mercedes owners if they have a good mechanic they trust. Elite Motors kept coming up. When I went there, I could see why everyone likes going there. No nonsense, straight forward, no unnecessary sales tactics! I want to feel good when I bring my car in to be repaired. So glad to have this place in OC!! read more

Friendly, knowledgeable, great prices, and provide quick service. They do a great job. Highly recommend

I've only had regular service done to date but they have always delivered as promised and at a fair price. I've even had a time I took the car in for service because it had been a year even though I only had 2k miles since last service and they talked me out of it saying the new synthetic oils didn't need to be changed with so few miles. To me that's seem very honest, they could have taken the job and charged me but didn't. when has a mechanic done that?? read more

Shane and the guys did an amazing job on maintenance for my 2020 Mercedes S560. I appreciated their honesty and fairness. I highly recommend them for Certified Mercedes Benz services. Very reasonably priced too! read more

I highly recommend Elite Motors. I have taken my old Mercedes there several times. They never sell a service you don't need. Very honest mechanics read more

Can I give them 10 stars please??? I cannot say enough good things about elite motors!! My family and I have been coming here for years. They have the most reliable service at the best prices. They are always accommodating and take such good care of me and my car! I needed a service A today... It's been a little past due actually. I had arranged to go there at 3 o'clock because I had appointments all day. Well some of my appointments got canceled and I was able to go earlier. I just stopped by and asked if they can you take me earlier or if I should come back... and Ron said "no problem have a seat". I got my oil change done and my service A completed, and they even fixed the dead fog light bulb that I have been getting warnings about for a while. The staff is always very nice and very knowledgeable. And not just today... I once had to get my car towed because it wouldn't turn on, and it was a Sunday. I had them tow it to the elite parking lot, put my keys in an envelope and popped them through the little mail door, and they called me in the morning with a diagnosis. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all the hard work that they do. Now if you're looking for a fancy experience getting your car fixed or serviced, you can always take it to the Mercedes dealership and pay 4 to 5 times as much. You'll have a nicer lounge to sit in but the service won't be as good or as affordable. Thanks to all the guys at Elite who always make it a great experience for us!! read more

See all

Just bought out my Mercedes Lease. Loved my service writer there but the cost of service now is way too high! A friend recommended Elite, I was delighted with the service the friendliness and the cost! The difference is astounding. Plus they were very efficient and I was in and out pretty quickly. Thank you! You have a new customer! read more

Elite Motors is the best place to take your Benz. I could go on and on about their workmanship and high caliber service. I have 70k miles on my S560 and Shane has it running like a swiss watch. read more

I called Shane on Tuesday and was able to bring in my car on Thursday am for an oil change. The customer service was top notch, he said it will take an hour and sure enough it was done in an hour. He also found a couple things for next time that I need to address. Over all it's a great value comparing to the Mercedes dealership. Will for will be back read more

I think these guys are probably the last TRULY old school businessmen left in the car repair industry! I am referring to integrity and honesty. My jaw dropped from the last interaction I had with Ron - Too long of a story to put down but just rest assured that you are dealing with an HONEST and hard working crew here! They genuinely do great work and guarantee their work for TWO years!! I have been taking my car here for a few years now - had one major job done here and the rest has been maintenance. I just sold my old Benz and got a new one - I did consult them about hybrids and electric :-) and they stood in agreement with my choice. I tell everyone about these guys and they all ask, "will they work on my brand of car?!" These guys a gem and have me as a customer for a lifetime!! read more

My family has been using Shane for at least 6 or 7 years. Service has always been superb. They are always honest about what can be done. Prices are always consistent with quotes provided. I recently had a starter replaced and am once again happy with the service. read more

If you drive a Mercedes, go to these guys for any type of work. They do great work at reasonable prices. I've been going there for my 2004 ML500 and am very happy with the service and quality of the work. read more

This place is the bomb! I have always had excellent experiences here. Shane is honest reliable and fair priced. They go above and beyond every single time. I wouldn't take my Mercedes anywhere else. I am so thankful I found these guys. I would highly recommend them . 5 stars all the way around. read more

Thanks to the crew, Doug, Ron, Shane!! These guys know Mercedes inside out!!!! From easy to complex repairs, you can't go wrong.... they have been taking care of my G-Wagon for a few years now and I could not be happier!!!! Regards, Joe.... read more

I've been coming here for a few years now so it's about time I express my sincere appreciation. I referred a good friend recently who also has owned a few Mercedes' but for various reasons was fed up with the dealership experience. She too is pleased with Elite Motors' knowledge, personal service, communication, and attention to detail. They are Simply the best!, Thanks guys! read more

So we had a noise coming from the front wheel of our GLE. It was distressing to say the least. Went for a rest drive to point out the noise to the service manager. They took it in the shop, put it on the rack and found that a small pebble had lodged itself between the caliper and the rotor. Problem fixed! No charge! We were already customers of Elite Motors before this happened. Won't go anywhere else now. read more

First time with Elite. Usually took my 2017 Mercedes-Benz to a dealership because it was still under warranty. Now that I'm on my own, I decided to expand my horizons and look for a good reliable independent shop. So I did my research and found Elite Motors. I like their business model; honesty, efficient, and customer focused. They really do seem to know the brand and I appreciate the candid discussion as I asked many questions. I plan on following their recommendations for my car, and I'll see them again. read more

The Best service Repair For Mercedes............... Exceptional. Good price and Amazing costumer service.

Thank you Elite Motors mechanical team for getting the job done right first time always with unbeatable p My name is Paul Amir and I am a very happy customer read more

Knowledgeable Techs and a good value. We come here for all our Mercedes service. We never get ripped off like other places.

Wow! We are impressed. We took our 2015 Mercedes GL350 Blutech to Elite for its 60K mile service. Shane was very helpful and flexible in scheduling. He gave us a quote for the work over the phone, then remembered the quote exactly when I brought the vehicle in the next day. They were very diligent in explaining everything that was going to be done to the vehicle and even took the time to explain some mechanical questions that I had. When we picked the vehicle up at the end of the day, the service was completed as promised and the vehicle was waiting. Shane even adjusted the price down from the quoted price because he was able to get one of the parts a little cheaper than he was anticipating. It would have been very easy for him to not tell us that, and just pad his profit. He did the honest thing; my wife and I were both super impressed. We will definitely be back for service needs in the future, and highly recommend this shop. Thank you, Elite! read more

We have been bringing all three of our Mercedes to Elite for over 15 years. Ron is an angle. So honest and he knows it all! Shane is amazing too. I completely trust them with our cars and they have kept them running in top shape for so many years. They are always accommodating, are always there when you need an quick question answered when a light goes on. Just now my break wear light went on and of course I call Elite and ask how long I can drive it and they are honest. The prices are great, they are hardworking and tell you the truth. It's hard being a woman and taking your cars to mechanics, but here I know it's no nonsense and they have always done a fabulous job. There is no one else I would trust our cars to! I am grateful that there is a reliable place that I can trust. Thank you for always doing a great job!!! read more

We dropped our car last night and it was finished first thing this morning. Love the easy process and staff are always very helpful, responsive, and respectful. Highly recommend them. read more

Great people, super experienced and you can trust them big time! Never go to dealership come here! read more

Elite Motors - Auto Repair Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I tried Elite for the first time when my older model Mercedes had transmission issues and was stuck in first gear. I was assuming the worst. Elite found an issue with one of the lines and fixed it and other things for so so much less than anticipated. I am so pleased and highly recommend them. It's so refreshing to know that a woman who is clueless about cars can go here with no worries and get excellent service and deal with truly nice people. read more

Great guys helping me out with an issue with my trunk. Honest and helpful. Would highly recommend!

Great Guys and great Service. I bought a 560SEL online for a friend who lives in Cabo San Lucas, took it to Elite as he wanted it checked out and put right. Then at the last minute my friend changed his mind and told me that he would fly up and handle the work himself. I called Elite and they had already done the inspection. I thought they'd be pissed I wasted their time, but they just said 'No Problem', then when I asked how much? I was told it was no bother. How many garages out there would say that. Needless to say I did give them a healthy tip for their time and trouble... but I think their actions speak volumes to their work ethic. I'm going to take my GL and my girlfriends C class here the next time I need anything done. read more

Finding a trustworthy Indy Benz dealer is like finding gold. Elite Motors was recommended by a friend. Recently had our GL450 serviced at the Mercedes Benz Foothill Ranch dealer. We complained that the power steering pump was leaking slightly and could smell a burning fluid. The Mercedes Benz Foothill Ranch dealer wanted to replace the pump, rack and the entire steering assembly upwards of $800-$1200K to start. Elite recommend we start with the power steering reservoir ($125.00) and see if that might be the issue. We could eliminate the components one at a time, top to bottom until we find the leak. This was brilliant! What dealer would take the time to eliminate the possible problem components one at a time, instead of replacing the entire steering assembly? Problem solved after replacing just the PS reservoir. Never happier to pay a bill of $125.00 servicing one of our Benz. I can't thank Doug and Ron enough for the integrity and honest business practices- Thanks again- J.Nishida read more

I don't even think I have written a review before on my Yelp account before now. I came in looking for someone to help me with an onboard computer issue with my 2002 ML320 headlights. I went to my old Indy and as well as multiple dealerships and no one wanted to touch it. It was as simple as plugging their STAR computer into the car and enabling a function. I called Jim who told me it wasn't an issue and that'd they'd be able to see me right away. I just got turned away by Foothill Ranch MB, so I headed on down and met Doug at the front desk and sure enough he was already briefed on my situation by Jim and told me to pull around to the bay in the back. He plugged in my car to their system and in less than 5 minutes my lights were back and working. Doug then popped my hood, and simply said, just saw that your antifreeze is low, going to top you off. I didn't even bring this up and will be honest have been lagging on a much needed item. I was amazed at the service and sure enough all I was given was a business card with well wishes. I'm currently 5,000 miles over my service scheduled and it is that time of the year. It's safe to say that I will be seeing Jim and Doug on Wednesday at 8am. Thanks guys! This is a business to stand by! read more

Great and quick service! With 2 kids and a wife who wants it done yesterday, I was able to get our Service A maintenance done on our MB GLE350 quickly and at a good price. I called at 8:15am, dropped car off at 8:40am and picked up car at 9:30am. Thanks guys. read more

Awesome!!! I could not be happier that I found Ron & Doug at Elite Motors! There customer service is beyond exceptional and I was so grateful for their HONESTY! We have a 1996 E320 and the car had to be TOWED to their shop as it would not start. They replaced the neutral safety switch for such a fair price in parts and labor and got our car running smoothly again . They could have easily told me that I needed to replace a number of parts and could have charged me so much more in labor but they didn't. Did I mention it is a 1996 and HAD TO BE TOWED!! I feel so blessed to have found them in this day and age where so many people are willing to rip you off just to make an extra dollar. I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone who has a Mercedes! Thank you Ron & Doug at Elite Motors!! You truly were a blessing to our family! read more

This was my first time at Elite after taking my 550 to FJNB for years. Ron was great. I felt he was looking out for me. The dealership wanted to replace a bunch of stuff. Ron's team found exactly what needed to replace and he price was 2/3rds the dealer cost. On top of that, Ron saved me money by correctly diagnosing problem and not having me replace parts that I didn't need. I'll be back....as Ron said, welcome to the family! read more

They fixed a few lingering problems that other mechanics did not solve on my E320 convertible Highly recommend them read more

I could have sworn my wife had submitted a review before but anyways... We could not be happier with Elite. My wife had a '99 E320 that had well over 200k miles on it that Ron and Doug had maintained for years and we were so pleased with the level of service and honesty when we were able to get a newer car for her, we dismissed BMW's because we couldn't take it to Ron and Doug. We wound up with another '99 E320, this one a 1 owner car with a fraction of the mileage as our old car, and of course we continue to bring it to Ron and Doug for repairs I can't handle myself. My wife and I continually have conversations looking at other newer cars, and we always conclude it will probably be a Mercedes so we can continue working with Ron and Doug at Elite! read more

Great place, friendly guys, and honest people you can trust. I've taken my car here for years and they keep my car sounding like new. Highly recommend!! read more
