Max at Circle Star Motors works with so much integrity. I am the 2nd owner of my Mercedes and have come across some challenging issues. Max goes above and beyond to do what's best for his customers and I really cant say enough good things about him and the way he conducts business. Not only does he conduct his business 10/10, but the quality of his work is above and beyond as well. Thank you Max for your help and services!!
I have been taking my Mercedes Benz vehicles to Circle Star Motors over the years. I have always found them to be honest and forthright with fair repair fees.
Went by to fix a few things on my 2003 CL 500. Nick was the nicest guy told me a few tricks ,quoted prices for me, and basically told me not to. Waste money on things I didn’t really need ! And just drive it till the wheels fall off . I even offered to buy him lunch for all the tips and advice he gave me but he declined. Great place super nice guy he knows everything about Mercedes highly recommended!! Bill Yeo 🤙🤙🤙
I had my filthy 2005 Mercedes E500 towed to their shop at 10:00pm no start trunk locked key fob dead and without an appointment, they had a key drop with an envelope to write down what you needed done , the place was well lit and safe . Nick called me the next morning with an estimate that was fair and thorough , after paying Max over the phone I was able to pick up the next day…washed even. I can’t say good enough things about their ability, professionalism , honesty , and friendly service. I highly recommend. *****
At this point in my life, I have been to a great number of auto shops. Without a doubt, this is the best shop you are going to find. Max is incredible. Not only is he knowledgeable and incredibly reasonable, but he takes the time to explain and teach you what is happening on your car. When my ABS light came on, he took the time to troubleshoot and determine that the hydraulic sensor needed to be replaced after chasing down other leads, and testing the voltages. He took care of the service and reprogrammed the entire unit. His shop is spotless and his passion and care for what he does shines through. Thank you so much!
Max and Nick at Cricle Star recently repaired my 1985 Mercedes 300D Turbo Diesel. I am the second owner of this car and have owned 3 different models over the years. They are my favorite car to own. I have worked on many items on these cars and follow all the W123 clubs and repair gurus on these cars constantly. I have always been handy, but I know my limitations both in time and money. I was referred to Cricle Star by another local W123 owner I knew. I wanted to do a AC conversion to R134 and didn't want to mess with this myself. I also wanted to do a coolant flush and replace cooling system components, again a messy job and didn't have the place to do it myself. Max is not cheap $$. But after taking my car to him, I will never let another mechanic in this area touch my car again. He is the most knowledgeable, experienced, detailed mechanic I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Him and his tech Nick, fixed things on my car I didn't even realize weren't working properly and did so at a reasonable cost considering the results. My car feels like new! It is 30% faster and runs smoother than I ever thought possible for a Merc diesel. They even fixed my bumper moldings and rear sway bar links just as a courtesy since they noticed how clean my car was and how obsessed I was about maintaining it. I can't thank Circle Star enough for being so committed to these old classics and for the level of professionalism. I truly believe that "you get what you pay for!" especially when it comes to Circle Star Motors.If you want the best look no further.
We brought our beloved sprinter here on limited notice because of some concerns. Even though they were busy they took the time to check it out and sent us on our way quickly. The shop is clean and the staff are very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back!
