Brandon and the team are awesome. Super friendly and definitely knowledgeable. I called him on a Monday morning about an issue with my brakes. By Monday afternoon I was completely taken care of. The shop space is super cool and the waiting area is comfy. I'll absolutely reach back out in the future. read more

Great service! Will be taking both of my cars here from now on. Explains in detail what will be done.

Brandon was terrific...really spelled out the possibilities before taking it in, provided great service and value, and got our c350e back to us quickly. We're fans! read more

Just an update to my previous review 6 years ago... Brandon, the new owner of Star Motors is such a knowledgeable, honest and thorough mechanic. So glad to have him as our mechanic. (When the previous owner, Herb, told us he was retiring, we were very hopeful that he would find someone as competent and efficient as himself, and he did). I would highly recommend Star Motors . read more

Brandon is A+++ all around. Professional and kind. You can tell he has great energy (the honest straightforward kind). I had my Storyteller Overland sprinter van service A performed today and it took less than 2hrs. (The Mercedes dealership had originally asked to have the vehicle dropped off at 7am and picked up at 5pm) So I decided to call around since I don't have that kind of time. And the price I paid for the service was more than reasonable. I walked out with both arms and legs intact! Will be using Brandon next time. No more dealership! Nice to meet you and thanks again Brandon! read more

Brandon, the owner of Star Motors is not only one of the best Mercedes mechanics around but excels in true "customer service" which is quite lacking in society today. Had a breakdown late afternoon, called to see if he would still be open as it was close to closing time. He was waiting for me when the flat bed arrived. Put it in the shop and he gave a brief examination. Belt tensioner pully came off and damaged the radiator. Said he could get it done by the next day since it is my only transportation. He called the next day and said it was ready. This was by 1:00pm. Upon arrival he showed me he had replaced the radiator, the belt tensioner unit, changed all relative fluids, (water, antifreeze and transmission as the cooler is cooled with water, new overflow reservoir. Get this, due to the water having flowed over the headlights he polished them. No charge, didn't ask, just did it as if he was working on his own vehicle. Took it for a test drive just to make sure all was as it should be. The billing was well lower than any other shop would have charged, especially a dealership. If you have a Mercedes, you know what I mean. This is the only person I will deal with on repairs that I can't not handle myself. I cannot express my appreciation for his service, expertise and customer service sufficiently. read more

Herb has always been helpful and as a DIY mechanic he's not put off to give advise. He also plugged it into the computer which is a very expensive tool and cleared the codes for us after our repair. Our old C240 has been great thanks to his genuine care. Thanks Herb! read more

I brought my Mercedes here to get routine service, to fix a power steering leak and to replace brake pads. I had been bringing the car to the dealer for service, but after several bad experiences with being overcharged, I decided to try a different shop. I was pleasantly surprised with Star Motors. The car was repaired perfectly, at a fair price and on schedule. I will definitely be bringing my car here again. read more

The Mercedes dealer gave me an estimate of $510 to repair my 2011 E350. On the way home from the dealer I stopped by Star Motors who had been highly recommended. The owner of Star had his head under the hood of a car doing work. I asked him if he could take a look at my car's problem. In less than three minutes he located a loose electrical connector and plugged it back in. Problem solved. $500 saved. Star will be my mechanic from now on. read more

Herb is a Mercedes-Benz expert and an extraordinarily great human being. About 12 years ago, I called the MB dealership in Thousand Oaks asking for a referral. There were no local dealerships at the time. The service manager told me Herb used to run their service department and is the most knowledgeable and nicest guy he knows and happens to be in Ventura. After that first service, he has serviced each of my MB since. There are so many examples of him taking great care of me but here is just one of them. I received a recall letter from MB. I took it to Herb and he stated that it needs to go though the dealership so that I did not have to pay anything. He explained if I did not go through the dealership, the cost would be over $600 to repair. When the new, local dealership would not take care of it, Herb stepped in and further advised me. He explained how it works and I went back and they took care of it for FREE. Anyone else would have taken my money. I have had eight MB and all have been very well taken care of at the most reasonable cost. Thank you to Herb and his wife Vicky for running a great ethical business that actually care about their craft and their customers. read more

If you want an honest mechanic who does honest work go see Herb at Star Motors. Hands down best service. Herb listens to the car symptoms his customer provides unlike a lot of other mechanics and he really treats your car as if it were his own. I will not go to another mechanic. Reasonable pricing. Great Service. Honest. read more

I had a very bad experience here. I wonder if females get different service here than males? He was extremely creepy and I felt uncomfortable being alone with him in the office. He quoted a price for a service ($850) and I ended up fixing the problem myself for free after googling it. Not recommended. See my other reviews for a great mechanic for your Mercedes. read more

Herb at Star Motors is a master Mercedes mechanic. I brought my car in with a truly baffling problem but he broke the issues down and solved it. Then after that hard work charged me a reasonable rate. All my friends should use Star Motors read more

This place is top notch. I would not think of ever going to another mercedes mechanic. Herb is the most honest and hard working guy you will ever want to meet. He is also a phenomenal mechanic and his prices are always extremely reasonable. If you own a mercedes I highly recommend this place!!! read more

QUALITY SERVICE is what I get here at Star Motors. Just had my "PURDYGIRL" (MBZ-E350)brake pads replaced , and definitely a savings from what it would've cost me at the dealership. CUSTOMER SERVICE...I received a follow up phone call the next day from Herb, like who does that anymore. TOP NOTCH service, and a nice clean shop. read more

This is the best place to take your Mercedes. Whether it be for service or repair. The owner/operator's name is Herb and he does great work. You can always trust his diagnosis. My family and I take our cars here and we've had nothing but good experiences. Thank you Herb! read more

I had some stupid reoccurring check engine light in my ML500. I would clear it and it would come back every few months. I brought it in and the guy was super nice, he ran a full check using the Mercedes computer and gave me a copy of everything and didn't charge me a cent. He cleared the code for me and he said the light was a false alarm and not to worry. It did not reoccur. When I eventually do have a problem I can't deal with, I will definitely be returning. Great and honest service. read more

My husband called this place to get second opinion on 3 problems I have with my E-350 after taking it from my old mechanic. Then brought my car in couple days and Herb diagnosed my car without charging me a penny. When I decided to get the problems fixed, he ordered the parts and fixed it right away. This place did an excellent job in fixing my car problem at a very reasonable cost. My old mechanic was charging me almost three times so I switched mechanic now. Star Motors is very responsive and have professional staff that will assist you with your Mercedes issues. Highly recommended!!! read more

This guy does business the old fashioned way--he is very fair and honest. He never tries to up sell or tell you you need something for your car that you don't. One of my best friends has a very expensive, newer Mercedes and swears by Herb as well. My daughter drives a Mercedes that is almost as old as she is, and when it is cranky and just needs a little treaking, I so appreciate that Herb is honest, and quickly gets us back on our way. THANKS HERB!!!! read more

Exactly what you hope for in a car mechanic. Good honest work. No BS or inflated prices. Go here, not the dealer.
