One outstanding repair facility in every possible way. Knowledge and professional treatment for all my car needs.I have 2006 Mercedes R500 have my repairs done at Silver Star since I bought it. Thank you very much read more

John is a straight shooter. You would know what work needs to be done now, what can wait awhile, and sometimes what you do not need to worry about. We've been taking our cars to Silver Star since 2001. We never walked away wondering about the work john has done for us. read more

I called late in the afternoon a few weeks ago to get a quote on replacing the serpentine belt in my 2008 Mercedes Benz E350 after being stuck with my 10 year old Grandson. I was told that it would be about 130.00 to fix it. I told them that I was desperate to have my car back that day so the had me bring it in. John is an awesome mechanic and extremely thorough in the work that he does. I was driving home within 1 hour and 30 min with my car running like new. Talk about honesty and integrity!! I completely trust them and will always be a loyal customer from now on. Thank you for everything John and team!! Sincerely, Pamela Highley read more

John really knows his stuff at SS. Anyone that needs help go see him

I have to day, I agreed to the rate of $150 for a diagnosis and fix if possible, but when I saw it took them less than 20 minutes to tell me that the door assist pump was not fixable, I was very disapointed. I thought I would pay $150 only if it was fixed, else I assumed I would be charged the hourly rate of $90. And since it took 15 minutes to remove the door panel , test the pump and it only took 5 minutes to reassemble everyting , i just feel it was way too much to pay. I would not mind paying the $30, based on hourly rates, or even $50-$60, but no more. Of course , they did point out that they have a 2 hr minimum for any job !!! So, they feel they gave me a break, while I feel I was robbed blined and shafted too :( ... not so happy !! read more

They do great work on BMWs too. I've always taken my BMWs to the dealer for service even though it was a bit more expensive. I thought I was getting reliable service at least. Lately, I've been dissatisfied with the service from the BMW dealer, so I thought I'd explore other options. I found that Silver Star Motors also serviced BMWs and their reviews were solid, so I took my beloved 1998 M Roadster in because it was idling and running rough. In less two hours I received a call from Silver Star explaining my #5 ignition coil was defective. I was conditioned from the dealer to expect a charge in the $1200 - $1500 range but to my surprise the cost was drastically less. They made my day. John called a couple days later to follow-up and make sure I was happy with their work. I have two M performance cars. As with the AMG, it's important to have a trustworthy/reliable mechanical advisor to help keep them running at their best. I have high confidence with John and the Silver Star team. read more

**If could give this place "0" stars I would! took my car in to get the check engine light issue resolved so I could pass SMOG...$3897.00 later my car still isnt passing SMOG...the owner of this sham of a place said to keep driving it until the codes clear...lmao..2 visits later and almost 1k miles later my car still isnt passing smog! This place is a complete rip off!!! RUN!! Take your car to Mercedes Benz..It will save you a headache and $, and your car will actually be repaired! read more

This shop is more than fantastic. The track for the seat in my Mercedes was bent/broken because a mint tin had gotten stuck under the seat. I took to MB of Sacramento and received a ridiculous estimate that would make you just donate your car to charity. I've lived near Silver Star Motors for years. I checked out the Yelp reviews and am so happy we took it in to see if they could fix it. John had us bring it in the next morning, took a look at the problem, called that day with great price and had it out of the shop by the next morning. We were greeted with great customer service; he did not gouge us on the cost and did it quickly. We left saying we will not go anywhere else. The staff is friendly and loved hearing stories of how they enjoyed what they do and about cars they work on. It's an old school shop with modern day big shop abilities and more skills than the computer only driven shops could only have in their dreams. They think out of the box to solve issues. John and his staff are the bomb. Thanks to everyone at Silver Star Motors. read more

I bought a 2005 CLK Convertible Mercedes. The lady I bought it from was straight evil as I found out after I bought car. She was a liar when selling the car and I had bad gut feeling about her! I asked her where do you get the car fixed at? She said Silver Star Motors but I don't like them! I said from your paper work you keep going there, Why? Well they do always fix it right! They just charge to much! I had a window issue So I thought I don't want to chance it and took it to another repair shop! They not only charged me way more money they did not do a good job. So I did better research on Silver Star Motors! They have great reviews and I have had nothing but 1st class repairs on time for a fair price! They stand behind their work 100% If you have a Mercedes you CAN NOT FIND A BETTER PLACE TO FIX IT!!!!! As for the Lady who told me not to go there? I researched her and found out she was suspected of fraud for running a phony house flipping scam? She wants everyone to pay her top dollar for her work? And wants everyone else to work for her for free? I'm sure everyone has run across these type of people. I learned my lesson, go do the work! Research your neighborhood business first! Silver Star runs the business the way it should be! They treat you the same way they would if they were fixing a family members car! Fixed right & at fair price! I don't like working for free, I don't want anyone else working for free either I just want fair price with quality parts and service Great people! That's what Silver Stars Motors does! This is your last place for Mercedes Or Euro service! Thanks Silver Star Motors for making Mercedes OK to own with out having to go to Dealer! John C Kelly read more

The ONLY place to take your Mercedes for service. John (the owner) is as honest as the day is long. Far more reasonable pricing than the dealership. Won't overcharge you. Won't recommend repairs you don't really need. Will be honest with you when it does not make economic sense to fix something. An Auto shop you can trust. read more

I have been going to Silver Star for over 20 years for my Mercedes. From the beginning I saw that John and his crew would go above and beyond to make sure that any issue is fixed perfectly. They are always professional and personable with excellent service - I leave every time very satisfied. Saw the post about price - my opinion - their prices are very appropriate for a German car. read more

This is an amazing shop! Not only do they have top notch workers and equipment, they believe in customer service and treat each customer as a friend. A big Thanks to John Ralich (owner) and his crew for their honesty and integrity. read more

So happy I found these guys. Great shop, great people. They do the work you ask them to do, let you know if they see anyting else that warrants attention, and give you the pros and cons of the pay me now or pay me later scenario. Most important, they DON"T DO WORK THAT DOESN"T NEED TO BE DONE. It's rare thing to go to a car repair shop and not feel like you are being worked to some extent, but these guys never give me that impression. I recommend them wholeheartedly.. read more
