    I was seeking a replacement MB mechanic since my current one no longer was working on additional MB vehicles that I was going to bring in. Found Star Auto Techs, read about them and started with my 2021 GLE450. Brought it in for a B Service and then an A service. Decided to then bring in my 2023 GLC 300 Coupe. Brought it in for its first A service and last week for its B1 Service.

    Very happy I found them. Great service, professional and much better pricing then the dealer. They have earned my business and would not think about going anywhere else, even with a brand new vehicle for annual servicing. None of the MB dealers in South Florida will ever touch my vehicles.

    I stopped at this location because I needed to open my car control key. The front person was very helpful and kind. When I get my Mercedes I will definitely take it there for service! Thank you.

    Simply the BEST repair shop. Handel took the time to not only fix the problem but show me the problem with my 2014 Mercedes on video. I can tell this mechanic loves cars as much as you love your car! Did two complicated repairs for a fair price and faster than expected. This is where you should take your car!

    I just got back from picking up my weekend car from Star Auto Techs. It needed an A service. I have been going to Star for about 10 years with other Mercedes cars (E300, CLS350, SL550) and have always been happy with the honesty and prices associated with the shop. My cars are always ready on time, the price and personal attention is better than going to the dealer.

    I contacted Star Auto Tech and spoke to Handell four days ago who advised me to bring my car in for him to diagnose the issue. After leaving the car for couple days, Handell communicated with me every day and even found the transmission mount & some other things that I suspect was going bad on the car. I would certainly recommend anyone who would like a good honest, repair shop to look no further than Star Auto Tech, they will make your car run like new and the icing on the cake the price is reasonable and you get a car wash. Thank you guys for fixing my car before the expected due date.

    Bought a C300 in an auction with a manual transmission but the transmission was not working right. The Mercedes-Benz dealership said that the transmission had to be replaced, of course they wanted an arm and a leg as payment. I took the car to Star Auto Techs; they flushed the old transmission oil and replaced it with brand new fluid. The car is running like NEW! I have never experienced such a thing with a used vehicle. If I had gone to the dealership they would have scammed me with thousands of dollars for something that I did not need. The mechanics at Star Auto Techs are honest, friendly, and truly experts in what they do, my respects for them. Thank you again!

    Compré un C300 en una subasta con transmisión manual pero la transmisión no funcionaba bien. El concesionario Mercedes-Benz me dijo que la transmisión tenía que ser reemplazada, por supuesto que querían un brazo y una pierna como pago. Llevé el auto a Star Auto Techs; botaron el aceite viejo de la transmisión y lo reemplazaron con líquido nuevo. El carro funciona como NUEVO! Nunca había experimentado algo así con un vehículo usado. Si hubiera ido al concesionario me hubieran estafado con miles de dólares por algo que no necesitaba. Los mecánicos de Star Auto Techs son honestos, amigables y verdaderamente expertos en lo que hacen, mis respetos para ellos. Gracias de nuevo!

    Handell, the owner, is professional, knowledgeable, and runs a great shop. His prices are extremely fair considering what the Mercedes dealership charges for labor provided by minimally experienced mechanics. The dealership can keep their "free" car wash....I'd rather have a no-frills shop with better mechanics and prices. Take your car to Star Auto Tech....you'll be glad you did!

    I've been using this mechanic shop for close to 5 years now. Handell is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, fair and clear. My 15-year-old 2007 ML500 with 140,000 miles is still a good and serviceable car and things break and wear out from time to time, but that’s to be expected in any older vehicle. I've done many repairs at this shop, and the most recent one was to replace the radiator. Routine service and required repairs are more expensive for cars with fewer options and special features, but using a good independent mechanic keeps the costs reasonable. It’s hard to find a good honest mechanic and this is one of them! 10/10 would recommend it!

    I recently bought an old W203 (C230), after buying it, I realized it needed to get its crankshaft balancer and timing gear replaced. I live in Texas but familiar with the quality and professionalism of Handell and his team at Star Auto Techs. I decided to transport the car to Florida and have it repaired by them. They did the repairs; I picked up my car on a Saturday morning just after they finished with it and drove it back to Texas. It was a pleasure to drive, no issues at all. Those guys know what they are doing, they are well trained and have top of the line equipment. They are fully prepared to take care of your Mercedes Benz and BMW. I recommend them 100%.

    Being a woman who knows little to nothing about vehicles, this is the only place I trust. The prices are the lowest in the area, the customer service is exceptional and they are always available for same day drop offs. I took my car in today for a battery change and was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Impressive!

    I have been taking my cars to Handell at Star Auto Techs for about three years now and I've always been happy with their work. I'm the type of person that wants people I deal with to be straightforward and honest with me because that's how I treat my clients. I've never questioned whether or not I was being told I needed unnecessary repairs...if they tell you something is what it is, then that's what it is and you can rest assured because you're in good hands.

    Star Auto-Techs has been serviced my MB for the past 9 years. I take my car there for the annual service maintenance, new brakes (front and back), A/C issues, new tires, front rotors and any other issue my car has. I highly recommend Handell and his team of mechanics to any MB owner. You won't be disappointed.

    I have a 2006 MB C230 Sport and Star Auto Techs has been the only place that has serviced my car since my warranty expired. Handell and his team has been taking care of my car since 2009. That is the only place that I feel comfortable taking my MB because I know that they will service it the way it should be. Handell is a great owner and mechanic and always explains in detail the work that your car needs. I never had any issues with my car after being serviced at Star Auto Tech and I highly recommend Handell and his team of mechanics.

    Hello everyone,

    Larry A here again, writing another review on behalf of Handell and his team at Star Auto-Techs.

    Well guys, Handell saved me again!

    This time it was my AC Compressor that went bad, and Handell and his team did the repair quickly and expertly, and for allot less than dealer!

    Guys, if you are on a budget like I am, and having a difficult time making ends meet, the last thing you need is an expensive Mercedes repair.

    I have this 2002 S500 leftover from when I used to make a lot of money, and that is not the case anymore, so when it comes to Mercedes repairs, you need someone you can trust, and will treat you fair.

    That person is Handell.

    He and I have built a friendship over the years, as he has helped me tremendously EVERY time my car needs repair work.

    Do yourself a favor, and bring your car to him, and he will do his best to help you get back on the road, and for the best price possible.

    Thank you for reading my review, and I hope you will do yourself a favor, and bring your car to Handell.

    I've been going to Star Auto Techs for over a year now for my car needs. I think they're very down-to-earth, and if you have a limited budget they will work with you to find the best solution for the lowest cost if necessary. I've never had any issues after numerous visits and would highly recommend them!

    Hello,

    As we all know, keeping a Mercedes on the road is more expensive than other inexpensive cars.

    Handell and his team are top notch, and the prices are far less than you would ever pay at the Dealership for the same repairs!

    Handell and all his techs come from a background of Servicing Mercedes, so they will know your car inside and out, and like the back of their hand.

    I have been having a very difficult time for the last several years, and with all of the repairs Handell and his team have done for me, they were all done very well, and allot cheaper than the Dealership.

    My car is very old, but is still on the road thanks to Handell and his team.

    Everyone in the shop is super nice, and they do their best for you.

    I recommend them, so check them out if you need repairs!!

    Thank you,

    Larry A.

    I discovered Star Autotechs and master mechanic Handel Puertas when my big MB dealer could not diagnose my vehicle after multiple visits. Being a busy professional with a family returning to the dealer was nearly impossible. Presonalized, Prompt, honest and courteous service! I will never go back to the locl dealer. Thanks to Handel and his team I can look forward to maximizing my GL for mayn years to come.

Handell and his tech staff are polite, knowledgable and dependable. All of my service needs and repair work have been completed on-time and efficiently. They also don't charge you a fortune like local Mercedes dealerships. Not what I was expecting at all. I highly recommend this auto center. You guys have made a life time client out of me.

    The hospitality offered to me by the owner and the staff was excellent and inspired my trust.
