Sadly I can no longer recommend this shop. For all they do to pride themselves on being able to service Mercedes vehicles, their response to fixing my car was pathetic. If you need to get your oil separators and rear main seal replaced on your M176 or M177 engine equipped Mercedes (an unfortunately common repair on these engines) beware MBS will turn down the job because "it will take too long and we don't want to tie up our mechanic". Fortunately the shop that services my Porsche also works on Mercedes and will do the job. It's a shame as these folks are otherwise nice to work with. read more

Very efficient, professional and friendly service. Definitely would recommend. Cost was very competitive against dealer costs.

Took my old Infinity M35 there for belt squeaking. They diagnosed the problem and charged less than the estimate. Great service at the quoted price. What more can you ask for. read more

Came to MBS because I had a very slow leaky tire on my older MB. It took some sleuthing to find the culprit which was a 18 gage finishing nail hidden in the rubber, which was probably from a neighbor's remodeling project and sealed it up. The technician also noticed my half lit LCD instrument cluster and asked if I wanted the bulb replaced. Yes! It had been bothering me, but didn't think it could be fixed with a simple light bulb replacement. Ended up replacing two bulbs because he noticed another bulb in the cluster was actually the wrong wattage! That bulb was overheating and slowly melting the plastic around it, he saved the cluster from total failure and an expensive replacement replacement! Just wish these guys were closer to where I live, but will use them again on my older MB. read more

Super nice Euro automotive shop. They found the cause of my misfire on my 2004 e500 ( which almost nobody wanted to work on my car) in the span of a couple hours it was diagnosed and had it fixed by the end of the day. Same deal with the main gaskets. Had my car ready by 8am the next morning. They did miss something when switching the gaskets yet they took full accountability and told me to bring it in and they'd fix it right away, as well as a free liquid flush just for the inconvenience . Super cool dudes who know exactly what they're doing and are 100% trustworthy! read more

My first time at MBS Automotive and I chose this business because they seemed to be specialists for my car and would deliver great service that would be easier on my finances than the dealers and another place that I have also allowed to service my car. They were friendly and professional and the waiting area and private meeting room was nice. They also provided me with some useful information about my car. I setup a followup appointment and hope to have a long relationship. read more

If you need a mechanic for your car do yourself a favor and bring your car to MBS Automotive Mike followed up with all the questions I had and he was very helpful and well informed. read more

I was looking for a place in Illinois to do the service B for my car. This was a trustful place to leave my car and the service was done in a couple of hours. The drop off was really easy and they can arrange some time for you to pick up your car when is convenient (even after business hours). The prices are not crazy and fair. When I first reached out to ask a quote, I received an instant answer and they walk me up through the process relatively quickly. Another thing I liked is that they are honest and will only charge you for what your car actually requires (no hidden fees). My only suggestion is to work on the customer service at the front desk but overall the service and price was good. I will coming back! read more

Thorough service, knowledgeable staff and well-kept shop make this my go-to place for car servicing!

I used to be happy with this place but now I am not. It seems like the good mechanic has left. My car had developed a misfire, they couldn't schedule me for 3 weeks. I brought it in, by then the code was already in history which they didn't write down, but there was an active code for a bad cat, well that's weird since my car only has 49k miles on it. They said to just throw on some o2 extensions, I said well something caused the cat to go bad, wouldn't we want to know what did that. No, they did not, they are short staffed and they do not want to have to deal with real work. They quoted me $418 to put the extensions on, I questioned why it was so expensive and the front desk guy said because it takes a lot of time to get in there to put them in. I said okay fine, 40 mins later I get a call and he says there done, surprise surprise. I take the car back, didn't even make it back home, and it threw the code for the cat again. Then they couldn't schedule me for another month, so the next day I decide to drive the car to auto one to get the codes flashed and during the trip the car starts misfiring again, and then it got even worse. I was so fed up, I decided to never come back again. read more

My dad and I have been customers of MBS Automotive from close to their very beginning. We were referred to them in a Home Depot parking lot by a gentleman with an older model Mercedes-Benz. After draining experiences with local Mercedes-Benz dealerships, and we have relationships with most of them, we found MBS Automotive to be truly refreshing. MBS are the greatest ambassadors of the Mercedes-Benz brand, and I trust them in caring for ALL of my vehicles. From a 2005 E500 4Matic to a 2015 GL63 to a 2017 Porsche Cayenne and a 2019 Audi Q8. They are trustworthy allies in caring for my vehicles. While they are not the least expensive, they are always looking to save you money and take a collaborative approach to vehicle maintenance. No upsells. No high-pressure tactics. Only honesty and knowledge. I recommend MBS to everyone I know. read more

After taking my Benz to Mercedes dealerships for the past 5 years I decided to venture out and stop paying for inflated services etc. Took my car here to MBS on reading all the positive reviews and was certainly not disappointed! Paul has been great and so helpful. Got a service and had some trim installed on the back. Very happy with the courtesy and professionalism of MBS! read more

These guys are great very friendly and on-time. They keep you informed about the entire process and they don't try to over sell you anything you don't need. They really know there stuff when it comes to European cars and very polite and informative. Will definitely be coming here for all of the work on my cars. read more

The best and honest place for your benz problems. After getting way too expensive estimates from Mercedes dealership I tried other local repair shops but none were as honest and clear and CHEAP as MBS. They are a specialist for Benz! But there price are so reasonable I can't believe. I'm a student and my budget is limited and these guys came as a blessing to me when I was in need. Thank you thank you thank you so much for being honest. You've earned a customer for lifetime. read more

MBS has been a great find for me. Small, local and knowledgeable. I hate dealing with the dealers in the area and I like that they only work on MB. read more

Purchased a ML350 and dreaded going to the dealer for my service A or B appointment. I was lucky enough to find MBS which specializes in Mercedes. I spoke with Telly and he gave me an amazing quote that was literally 60% cheaper from the dealer quote. Sure enough , Telly picked up my vehicle, did the service and within a few hours brought back my vehicle . Talk about outstanding customer service! My vehicle runs as good as new and will be a life long customer! My only recommendation is I'd wish they offered washes after servicing the vehicles . Overall, 100% satisfied !!! Just came back after another year for my transmission oil and engine oil change . MBS did another outstanding job and saved me literally half of what Mercedes of Edens would've charged me. Overall, very satisfied and would rate them 5 stars!!!! ***UPDATE*** Arrived from another appointment from MBS today . They did my oil change and filter . Overall the service was superb and quick . The pricing is so much better and affordable compared to going to a Mercedes dealership. One of the misconceptions of owning a Mercedes is that the maintenance cost is high. Well I got news for you, if you have a mechanic like Telly and his MBS shop, owning a Benz can be affordable. Trust me, give MBS a try and I promise on my children you won't regret it !!! read more

MBS Auto is by far the place for all your Benz needs. Telly is a knowledgeable technician, accommodating and offers very reasonable rates. Every visit just over 2 years now has been a positive experience. Keep up the great work! GM read more

Telly was great to deal with on my Mercedes SL. I was quoted a ridiculous amount from the dealer and it didn't feel right, so I looked for a shop to give me a second opinion. MBS went over what the car needed and found 2 issues the dealer overlooked. Their quote was much cheaper and the car was back on the road the following week. Happy to have a competent shop nearby to handle the car. read more

For those looking for a quality , honest and yet competitive priced mechanic...MBS is your shop. I read all the great reviews and was like why not give them a try . Sure enough that was 5 years ago and I've been coming back to them for every service whether it be oil change , transmission service , 4 matic service , coolant flush , heck even the wipers too. Overall , MBS Telly saved me a small fortune compared to taking it to the dealer . Give them a try , you won't be disappointed, I promise . read more

By far the best experience I ever had at a mechanic shop. If you want an inflatable price take it to a Benz dealership. If you want honestly and a great deal, I highly recommended to bring it here to MBS Automotive. I spoke with Telly who is a true professional and very honest. I am extremely satisfied with the service I received! read more

paul and MBS was very gracious on my request of taking my car in a day ahead of my actual appointment (and i actually canceled on 'em a few times before that due to unique and complicated work that i have). they really understood that i needed it back after certain hour of the day so i can make it on my big day and oh boy, did they delivered! ahead of schedule and phoned me to let me know that it was done. when i came to pick it up, they noted that they also fixed a minor back job from before...i can't be more pleased than that. read more

Once again MBS just keeps topping my expectations. My mother was at another shop near her home who noticed an oil leak in her BlueTec 320. They didn't even know how to fix the problem. I told her to bring the car to Telly who arranged for a loaner car at a discounted rate. The leak was coming from the intake manifold. I looked up the job online and found that its anywhere between 12-14 hours of work. It took Telly a few days to get the job done as well as some extra work that was needed because of the oil buildup. So the job was done quickly and professionally as always and the bill was a little less than the original quote!! read more

Telly and MBS are awesomesauce. They're honest, fair, and will always make sure you get your money's worth. I will never go to another place as long as I own a Mercedes! My car always drives like it's new whenever MBS is through with it! read more

Telly is very knowledgable in Mercedes cars. He will not do any repairs that is not necessary. I had a flat tire, even though he was really busy, he was kind enough to come over to my place and put the spare tire on. Also, He was able to get me new tires on my 2010 E350 the same day. He has a quiet and nice waiting room with coffee/ beverages and free wifi. If you have a mercedes, you should try this place. read more

MBS and Telly are the bomb! He runs a first-class shop providing timely, quality repairs and sound, practical, no BS advise about your car. For his expertise, you pay very reasonable rates. Super clean shop with a comfortable waiting area. If you need a new mechanic, this is your guy! read more

There is no reason to go to the dealer for any out of warranty service. Very honest on all details of the car. Telly told me what was urgent and what could wait, and all prices were disclosed before the work was done. I highly recommend MBS. read more

Telly is simply the best place around to get your Mercedes fixed. He diagnosed the problem with our "sputtering" s class Mercedes in no time and had us back on the road for minimal cost. I will never go back to the "rip off" Mercedes dealer again! read more

I recently acquired a used E320 and brought it in to have Telly check it out. He took a look and documented all of the things that it was going to need done, which needed immediate attention versus what can wait. He took the time to explain what each service would cost. I have had an opportunity to review the MBS website and am impressed with their price list of the services available at a glance. I will be taking my car to MBS for all my MB services. read more

My car broke down on Saturday and they had it ready by Tuesday. Professional service with perfect laymen terms of the problem. Will only bring my MB to them!! read more

Will only bring my vehicles here! Best shop around! Very professional and intelligent staff.

I've been coming here for over 3 years and in the time Telly has been the most honest, helpful, and proficient mechanic I've ever met. Any problem brought to him was dealt with in a timely and cost effective manner. I have referred him to my sister and many friends and they have all thanked me for it! I definitely recommend coming here. read more

If I could give it 10 stars I would thank you to everyone at MBS Auto and as long as I keep owning a Mercedes I will keep coming back!! read more

Telly is a super nice and honest mechanic. Finally, no leaving the mercedes dealership with that sketchy "ripped off" feeling. His prices are fair and he is always willing to pick up and drop off the car at my work so i dont need to arrange a ride Always calls and communicates what needs to be done right away and what can wait. Highly recommend. read more

I have an older model E320 and have been really pleased with the work MBS has done for me. Excellent service at a fair price.

MBS is a great bodyshop for all Mercedes repairs. I went in for brake repair and servicing, which was expertly done. On the way home I developed an issue with the Active Body control on my car and Telly told me to bring the car in and was very accommodating in getting my car fixed at an affordable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the Chicago area! read more

Telly is an great mechanic, and even more importantly, and HONEST one!! I brought my car in to him after it had been repaired by a body shop after an accident because it still didnt feel right. He found a number of things from the accident that were overlooked by the body shop. He was honest in telling me what needed to be fixed right away and what things were not critical and could what a little while. Instead of taking it back to the body shop to fight with them to cover the repairs for free, I felt better to just spend the money and have Telly fix it knowing it was going to be done right, and it was. I drive up from downtown Chicago because I refuse to let anyone else even touch my car now.Telly is an great mechanic, and even more importantly, and HONEST one!!
