Lakewood Mercedes-Benz Repair

Mark, I need for you and the crew at German Motors to know how much I appreciate the service that you continuously provide to my son, daughter, friends, and me all of whom have entrusted their cars to you and your excellent staff of technicians. Over the years, we have confronted any number of different issues with the "stable" (280SE, 420SEL, 300D, E420, C280, E430) and I have always been impressed with your ability to assess the problem, repair it appropriately with MBZ authorized parts and to do so at a reasonable costs. Even more importantly, I value the friendly way in which I'm greeted by Billi, either on the phone or when I come into the shop. You are also always available for a least a "hello" and some type of interaction with me regarding my visit. Over the years, Mark, you have become not only my trusted MBZ technician, but a good friend as well. I'm grateful for the referral I received many years ago to your excellent auto repair facility. I got more than I expected! Thanks Mark! Thanks staff!

I have driven a Mercedes vehicle since 1975. With the exception of the first one, the following three have been pre-owned. I first came to German Motors in 1988 with my 1980 300SD on a flat bed. In 1988, when I was given the impression by a local Mercedes mechanic that not only could the repairs be very expensive but he would not know how expensive until he took apart the transmission and he would be glad to buy the car, I called German Motors. I immediately received assurance that the repairs were not expensive and I would have many years of service from the car. Indeed, the repairs were not expensive. Thanks to German Motors' superior service, I drove the car until 1997. It had over 279,000 miles on the original engine when I sold it. Mark Yoakum, proprietor, helped me find a gorgeous, pre-owned, low mileage 1987 420SEL. This vehicle now has over 204,000 lovingly tended miles by Mark and his outstanding staff. I can unequivocally recommend German Motors.

Mark, For over 12 years German Motors has provided exceptional maintenance on my 1987 260E. The first time my 206E was serviced by German Motors was in 1992 and it had approximately 75,000 miles on the odometer. Today my Mercedes is pushing the 242,000-mile mark. I want to express my genuine appreciation to you and your talented German Motors staff for the years of fantastic service that has been provided to the "old Benz". Your establishment has always been fair and has maintained the estimated scope, schedule and cost. On every departure I was comfortable the car had received the proper maintenance and attention. You have always obliged when I requested a quick turnaround. Thank you for providing me with many wonderful, reliable years of driving experience. Because of you and German Motors' proven reputation there is no other Mercedes garage that I'll allow to service the vehicle.

Mark, Billi and all the crew, To say that you guys do a good job would be like saying: Cary Grant was cute, Mohammad Ali had a decent punch, Ella Fitzgerald could carry a tune. The fact is, your touch is magical. Every time I bring my SLK in it comes out like a new car. No one else has worked on my Benz for over three years … and no one else ever will. Your expertise and devotion to service would be enough, yet your friendliness and great coffee for us early-morning customers only adds to the quality you provide.

German Motors recently repaired a potentially unsafe wheel-bearing condition on my 300TE and worked within my budget. Wow, it's so nice to know that they truly have my best interest in mind. I would highly recommend German Motors to anyone. The fact of the matter is it is the finest Benz repair shop I've ever used and as a businessman, Mark possesses extraordinary integrity. His business philosophy is rare indeed. I am ever grateful for German Motors' fine workmanship, understanding and friendship.

Quick, knowledgeable, honest

Took a 1985 300SD to these guys for a presale inspection. Mark (I think) was awesome. Gave me a rundown of what needed to be done. Sounded like he really knew what he was doing, and more importantly communicated what absolutely needed and stuff that could be done later. Didn't end up buying that car but would take my Mercedes their in a second if I actually had one.

I recently purchased a 1990 190E with 132000 miles on it. The car did not run when I purchased it and I did not know why. Typically taking your car to the mechanic is similar to going to the doctor because you never know what they might find or how much it might cost. The staff at German Motors made the process of fixing my car very easy and comfortable. Mark was able to diagnose what was wrong with my car the same day I brought it to him. He informed me of what he believed to be wrong with the vehicle and asked me if I wanted to proceed. I chose to proceed and the next day my vehicle was fixed. Their rates are competitive and you get what you pay for and then some. I highly recommend this place to any Mercedes owner in need of repair. I've owned 3 Mercedes in my lifetime and I wish I had found these guys sooner. Feel free to contact me me via G+ or on YouTube.Sincerely, Silent Citizen

I bought a 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300D four years ago, and It needed some work to get it up to par. I went thru two different shops before I found German Motors. My biggest concern was the issue I was having with my transmission shifting improper. None of the other Mercedes mechanics didn't know what to do to get it fixed, or fed me some story I knew was false.I found German Motors on the web, gave them a call and told Mark what's going on with my car.He told me he probably knew what was going on and to drop it off so he could look at it. He got it all fixed up by making some simple adjustments.Ever since then, I've been a loyal customer.They're fair with pricing and won't lie to you, or rip you off.Mark Yoakum, the owner, is a top shelf, master Mercedes mechanic. And his staff, amazing! Professional, well educated techs. They are the best!If you own a Mercedes-Benz, of any year, these are the folks to trust with your car. Thank you all at German Motors, and I hope this helps you in making a decision about a shop for your Mercedes-Benz.

I chose this place because of Christy's friendly voice and I love the fact that their website is fully loaded of info that can help someone like me who dont know anything about German cars. Everyone was super nice and genuinely want to help you. They are not like the dealership that will just nickle and dime you. They actually care about you and your car and they love what they do. I got to met Mark who is the owner and he was super nice and gave me the basics on my car. He told me the things I need to do according to importance so I can plan for it. I love this place and I highly recommend it to everyone 😊
