This is where I get the simple services done because they are less expensive than the dealership and they use the same MB brand name parts and fluids. For major repairs, for which you need to leave your car, it’s a gamble because you have to pay for a rental out of pocket if you have to leave your vehicle for couple of days. You will have to assess if it’s worth it, as the repair may cost less and make up for the rental expenses.Overall I’m satisfied with the services they’ve performed so far. Handel is reasonable and will do his best to get you a good deal.
This place is amazing, I love Handall and respect him a lot for taking good care of my BMW 3Series. I was at another repair shop that made my car worse with all lights blinking but when I took it here, Handall was very helpful in getting a diagnosis done and my car would never have problems till then. Understanding that a BMW is very hard to maintain and cost money, know that this place will do its BEST ability to keep it in shape WITHOUT having to cheat you off and being honest and true to their work. Its good to know I have a place to come to that I can trust and thats rare to find in a car business establishment. :)
Handell, the owner, and his team are professionals and excellent!! Prices are very good and fair. Handell is very honest and will go over in detail, showing you pictures, of what your car needs. Excellent!!
Please dont go there very rude unfriendly, only I asked for a oil change or a turn up he said what was wrong with the car I said nothing but I think needs a oil change I told him the model of the car and what year I asked the for how much oil change he said $130.00 I sai before was $100.00 he said that was more then 3 years ago I said no I been here less the 2 years that was 3 months ago, he said then go to some where else I said you the manager he said yes I said you should not be a manager youre so rude too expensive charge toooo much for oil change $130.00👹👹
Very affordable professional service. Much better than going to the dealership.
Amazing shop, their customers service is good on times that nobody cares about other, they help you with the needs that your car has. Ill recommend this place 100%, I have a 2004 BMW x3 used to have an oil leak, it was a hose broke and they fixed at almost no time, faster than my wife shopping on the mall.
Excellent service!!! Highly recommended. I went for a tire repair, they check all of my tires and fixed them immediately, loved the service.
Handell the owner has been taking care of my Mercedes since the end of my warranty 4 years ago. Prices are far better than the dealership. He does not take advantage or overprice because I am woman like some mechanics. I am very pleased with the professionalism and the quality of service provided. I only trust Handell with my vehicle and I am a repeat customer for a reason.
The staff in this shop is Amazing. The car was done quickly and for a great price. I highly recommend this shop !!
Excellent customer service! They fixed my BMW and now drive like a charm, Handell and his team were great and very detail in the job that they did.
I have been servicing my car at Star Auto Techs for a while now and every time, Handel is very honest about the repairs that need to be done. As a certified Mercedes Benz technician, he uses the right parts and charges a reasonable price for his services. He has never tried to sell additional services for the car when they aren’t necessary and only does what is truly needed for the car to be running properly. Definitely recommend coming to him to service your car if you drive a Mercedes or BMW!
This place is Amazing!! The owner is Super friendly and the work is done quick, clean and professional. Not to mention they are very fair on price!!Love these guys!!! Highly Recommended!!!
Great staff specializing on Mercedes vehicles
First off, let me say this review can change if things come out good in the end. My mother has a 2006 MB C230k that was experiencing problems so we decided to bring the car to this mechanic on Monday, 10/5/20. Today is Tuesday, 10/13/20 and Handell is still saying to give more time to diagnose. Even worse, I called him yesterday for an update and he said the car was being looked at and he would call me today with a diagnosis. It took me having to call him today at 3p after no call from him only to have him say he needs an additional 2-3 days to diagnose. We are giving him the additional 2-3 days to diagnose but we are not happy at all. Then the worst part is all he could say is do you want to come pick the car up or do you want to give me more time? When we took the car last Monday he said he would have a diagnosis sometime last week. Not happy thus far with this company at all. I will see how things go the next couple days and update this review for sure!UPDATE:So not even 5 minutes after I posted my initial review Handell calls me saying how he doesnt appreciate my review. Guess what buddy, my mother and I didnt appreciate getting the run around for over a week. He said going forward he refused to work on my mothers car and to come get it. We did just that so now we taking it another repair shop. Word of advice Handell, keep your timeline commitments you give ppl. If you say you will call Saturday, then CALL SATURDAY! Dont get upset at me for leaving a bad review when it was warranted. I strongly recommend any other MB repair shop for your MB repair needs. And I know this negative review may turn future potential customers for him away but his business practices dont warrant a positive review. If you go to him, you are doing so at your own risk. Crazy part is my mother had $3500 set aside to fix what Handell said. Not your only business but learn from this mistake.AFTER COMPANY RESPONSENo stress, we already found another repair shop to fix the car. But you know that was horrible business. Aside from that, God bless you as well.
Quality service with honesty and conscientious pricing. Without a doubt the best car service that exists. Thank you team Star Auto Techs
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’ve been coming here for years to get my Mercedes serviced and I couldn’t be happier! They always have wonderful customer service and my car is very well taken care of. I recommend everyone to come here.
Handell has been great to do business with...Ive taken two different cars to him and he recommended work that needed to be performed to insure the safety and longevity of my vehicles. Star Auto Techs is a repair shop you can trust...if they say something needs to be repaired or replaced, then you can be confident youre being told the truth...a rare quality for a lot of businesses these days.
Amazing customer service!I have been bringing my car to this shop for the past two years. I would not trust just anyone with my vehicle. Thank you for the great work!
Service is outstanding! I happened to find Star Auto Techs while looking for a repair shop for my MB. Came across them and read the reviews and decided to give them a try. I can honestly say it has been the best experience I could hope for. Diagnostic was done when promised, everything was clearly explained in detail. I’m not one to leave reviews, but they definitely earned the 5 stars. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who owns an MB or BMW. Excellent pricing and honest work.
Very good visit to the shop. I had a clip that I had to find at any BMW parts dept. The only one was on Sample rd. Handel did a great job despite the delay in finding the right part.
This place is the best shop in South FL! Unbeatable prices, dare to compare! Outstanding service! They work perfect on BMW and Mercedes. Honest and trustworthy people. I super recommend this place.
Handel and his team have been extremely helpful to me over the past 10 years. Yes! It’s been that long. I have always come to these professionals for a second opinion {even when my vehicle was on warranty}. I find them very approachable and always going that extra mile for their customers. You guys got a customer for life in me.Additionally, their charges are exceptionally excellent for any budget.Once again, thanks guys!
My favorite auto garage! Always friendly and helpful. A lot less than dealership prices.
A hidden gem in Pembroke Pines....I literally happened upon them while getting gas and Im so glad that I got my MB serviced there. The service was completed when promised at the agreed upon price. Im definitely a repeat customer. Professional and pleasant experience. Thank you so much!!
Handell and his crew at Star Auto Techs have such great care with my car. I have been a client of Star Auto Techs for over 10 years now. I truly value their timeliness and honesty. I wouldnt want my car in any other hands than the people of this shop!!
Had a problem with my 2007 328 I BMW and after taking it to 2 other shops I decided to take the trip to have star auto tech look at it. spoke to Mr. Handel and he thoroughly explained the issue and what it would cost including the possibility I may need to replace a second part after removal of my fuel filter assembly, needless to say Mr. Handel was very patient and informative with the problem and anyone appreciates honesty. The car was repaired within a few days as promised but the reason to my review was that1.They were extremely careful on the removal of the filter assembly that I didnt have to spend well needed money on having to pay for a fuel pump 2. when I picked up my car not only was everything put back in a neat order but was vacuumed and detailed spotlessly clean, I was shocked to the service I was rendered considering my BMW is only a 2007.Thank you Mr. Handel and we are very satisfied to have found you guys.. Harold Estrada
Star Auto Tech has been great. Honest, reliable, professional service is the norm here. We were frustrated with taking our Mini to the dealer for maintenance and repairs, and are so glad we found this local shop. Thanks Handell and your team.
Handel provided comprehensive service at a reasonable price. The work was completed on time and was thoroughly explained. Ill be back!
I have received superior service each time I have taken my car in. Pricing for repairs and timeline for my car to be ready have always been clear and honest. Today I made it to the shop a bit after they had already closed, yet Handell still took the time to fully assist me and get me back on the road. Dont know what I would have done without his help!
I had been searching for a reputable company to take my Mercedes to. I have always used the dealer but was weary of the high prices. I discovered Star Auto Techs on google. I was delighted when I learned they only use certified Benz mechanics. They are excellent, they go above and beyond to service, fix and repair your vehicle. I am so grateful for finding them.
Hansel and his team are simply the best! Their prices are truly unbeatable! The service is amazing! Ive been getting my cars serviced here for years. These guys are honest and trustworthy. I highly recommend this business.
EXCELLENT Customer Service and Courtesy. My Mercedes warranty ended now I have a Certified Shop to perform maintenance work on it. This shop is very prompt, quick to address the issues and gives quotes to you up front. Great location and has a Rental Car Company contact if you have to leave your car for any reason. I recommend the Star Auto Techs for your Premium Car needs.
Handel and his auto repair personnel are super professional. They offer a great deal of courtesy and super cant beat prices for vehicle repairs. I have tried other places, but none of them could come close to this repair shop. Each time I get my vehicle back it runs better and smoother. I highly recommend this place to anyone who owns or plans to own a Mercedes Benz.
I’m so happy to have found this outstanding team of professionals to care for my BMW, this shop is honest and thorough. My car drives like the day it left the showroom, thank you Star Auto Tech.
Several years ago Star Tech came highly recommended by a close friend. Since then, Ive only taken our 2007 BMW 3 series to them and they have provided Excellent Service. Not only is he straightforward and trustworthy, but I completely recommend Handell without hesitation to anyone who owns a BMW or Mercedes.
Best shop around... I will never take the car back to the dealer.
Great Place to bring your car. I live in Fort Lauderdale beach and drive the distance because they are the only place I trust. Very honest people. They are quick and your car gets fixed. They are always on time and get my car back to normal. I would highly recommend them. They are the best shop I have found in South Florida.
I have been a customer of Star Auto Techs for over 8 years and always fair, honest, fast and always gets my Benz fixed correctly, its delivered clean and off i go... totally recommended and trusted.
I’ve been a regular client of Star Auto Tech. For the Past 11 years. Handel and his wife, have provided not only a professional service but always a trustworthy recommendation. Great prices...
Been using star auto tech now for about 5-6 years now and everything they do is good quality work. Always giving fair prices and always handling things as if it were there own. Best mercedes benz shop in pines.
Excellent service ! Star Auto Techs is the best in South Florida for servicing and repairing any Benz vehicles...My sister and I are customers for several years already.
Reasonably nice guys but extremely overpriced. Dont let the pleasant demeanor fool you. Received a cost estimate on a BMW that was outrageously high, even when compared to the local BMW dealership. When asked to justify or negotiate, simply told me to go elsewhere. Cant speak authoritatively on their mechanical competencies (as you can imagine, i took the car elsewhere), but its difficult to understand how they can conduct a successful, sustainable business by egregiously overcharging customers, coupled with a terrible take it or leave it attitude.
Company does a great job on Mercedes. Very reasonable prices towards dealership. Quick turnaround time. Very professional and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.
Really great Customer Service. It was such a wonderful experience to get things done promptly and efficiently without the general fuss of an auto shop. Keep up the good work.
Handel is a real gentle man; very respectful staff; very reasonable and competitive prices; Handel is very willing to work with you on issues; no pressure nor gimmicks. I am very satisfied and recommend this business 100%. I have been with them for over 3 yrs now and I have no complains. Give them a call today!
I have been using them for almost five year. Honest and fair prices.
Ive taken my Mercedes to Star Auto Techs on several occasions for routine service and for repairs, but this is the first time that Ive written a review. However, my experience has been the same each time. Handel and his employees are very professional and honest, and the service and repairs are done perfectly. I have high expectations when I have my cars serviced, so by my estimate, a five star review is well-earned. I will continue to use Star Auto Techs and recommend it to anyone needing service on their Mercedes.
Star Auto Techs is the best Mercedes repair shop in South Florida! They have the best prices and the best service. I have been a customer of Star Auto Techs for many years and could not be happier with their service!
All 5 star comments that I see here are seemed to be fake compared with what I see them as very unprofessional, rude and unethical store. They have no respect among customers, sarcastic and insult the customer. Careful.
Ive been bring my Mercedes to Star Auto Techs for 5 years now. They provide dealer service and parts at a discounted price. I would recommend them to any Mercedes owner.
The best place for your car. Handell is the best. Nice and professional Services and fair prices.
After looking at the reviews, I just called for an appointment for the check engine light. The guy who answered the phone said it take day and day half to diagnose that and they charge $100. He sounded so arrogant and I said Thanks and cut the phone. Just in a few secs he called me back and saying you welcome, oh my god I could not realize who that could be for an instance. What a rude and an attitude. I understand they have more money and business coming in but that should not make them proud and should not close eyes. I definitely avoid this place, dont want to go to a place where there is no care of a customer.
Great Place! Honest, personable, and professional. Great price for my E350 oil change...much cheaper than dealership using the same parts and brand of oil! Going back for all my other service needs for sure.
I am very happy with their service. They are very professional and efficient. I was worried about the repairs cost but was not that much high. I would recommend them, the owner Handell Puerta is super cool !!!
Excellent Service and Value !! I have taken my cars to Handell the owner, since 2011 and I have never had a single problem. He is knowledgeable on these very high tech cars, fixing my simplest to the most complicated issues. Not once have I taken any car back for the same issue that has been fixed. Yet when I was under the Mfg. Warranty, on several occasions I had to take my car back to the Mercedes dealer for the same issue. I trust him completely with my cars and recommend him without hesitation !!
Handel and his team offer the best Mercedes Benz service in South Florida. They are knowledge about all aspects of MB repairs and they make sure you are satisfied before leaving. I have worked with other auto service centers and Handels expertise surpasses them all.
Handel did an excellent job and customer service incredible it’s very hard to find that kind of service nowadays in any business always it’s been a pleasure to deal with him thank you and keep up the good service
The staff and the service level at Star Auto Techs is outstanding. They use genuine Mercedes parts and a certified level of expertise that is comparable to any Mercedes Benz dealership. All this at a very reasonable price.
My experience was awesome. Very good service with each visit. The employees are very friendly. They have been servicing my E550 MB coup for about 3 years and never had a problem. I would highly recommend them.
I fell in love with the work of these guys. They are upfront and honest. Take your vehicle there at a fraction of the cost.
Hands down this is the best mechanic shop for Benz ever, very friendly staff and you get a VIP treatment everytime. You wont be disappointed.
Very Pleased with the Service and the Quality of work from Star Auto Techs. I have been taking my cars to Handell for many years and my experience has always been a positive one, but most important to me is the fact that I feel that Handell is an honest person and he can be trusted.
The guys here are friendly and helpful. They go the extra mile to make sure my car gets the service it needs.
Ive always taken my S430 and now S550 to the various Mercedes Benz dealerships for service and the like. However, Star Auto Techs have been the only service company that I can compare to the quality of repairs and customer service that Ive experienced when dealing with Mercedes Benz dealer locations. I recommended a couple of friends but they already knew of them. That only told me that I was at the right place. You may not get a rental, but with proper planning, dropping of your vehicle saves you hundreds of dollars. Thanks again Star Auto Techs!!!
I have taken my 3 cars (2 Mercedes and 1 BMW) to Handell for several years now. He and his team are extremely thorough in there work, his prices are fair and his integrity is impeccable. I will NEVER take my cars anywhere else. If you are taking your car(s) to the dealership, you are throwing away your money. Take your car to Star Auto Techs!!!
Handell was extremely rude and impatient with my family. We will never go back again. Totally unprofessional and we will let everyone know about it. You cannot disrespect the elderly, especially if they were not disrespectful towards you.
These guys are the real deal! Ive been coming to them for years. Unbeatable prices and quality service. Honest and reliable...for a fraction of what the dealership charges. Highly recommend!J. Cuevas
Wonderful and fast repairs, very professional mechanics and unbeatable prices. I highly recommend!
Awesome customer service, with affordable prices. Handell is very professional and detailed, the quality of their work is unsurpassed. I highly recommend checking them out for all your speciality car needs.
Took my vehicle here to get repaired and they somehow made a bad experience a pleasure to deal with. The receptionists were very knowledgeable
Super friendly, low cost and the work is done perfectly. I love the staff there
Exelent service!!!
Excellent service, and the price are very reasonable. I recommended it to any one who needs service in Bmw or Mercedes Benz. I really appreciate their service.
VERY kind an courteous, and treated me like family.They repaired my car very well and but did not try to high pressure sell me. Ill definitely come back!
Highly recommend !
Great service! This is the only place I take my car to. They know what they are doing and are fair with their prices. Handell and his team are my go to guys for everything my car needs.
Great Service, excellent price, right on time. This is my second year bringing my Mercedes Benz for service and will definitely come back.
Shout out to Christian for not only fixing my car, but making sure that the issue I was having remained resolved without further complications. Seven mechanics examined my car and explained that my problem was unfixable. I highly recommend him to fix your car at an affordable price. Youre the best man, Im glad to have my whip back in shape! ☺️🌺💕
Professional Service!!!. Always take my MB 250 for services and repairs to this shop. Handell always calls with the estimate and repairs are done as promised.
I have had a tremendous amount work done on my E350 over the years and Star Auto Techs have always provided exceptional top-notch service. 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 dont 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.
Ive been using Star Auto Tech for several years and I will NOT bring my Benz anywhere else! Very honest and trustworthy staff. They even fit me in their busy schedule to work with mine. I own two Mercedes working on a third!! Handell Rocks!
Super professional and fast service. Will definitely be back to service both of my cars.
I love my experience with the guys at Star Auto TechsThey have serviced several of my vehicles - true specialists, know in deapth their work, Handell is outstandingI sincerely recommend them to everybody
Had rear tires on my 2013 MB C250 replaced and a free car wash. Excellent Customer Service. Will return to for the yearly vehicle service.
Best spot in town! Honest and don’t haggle with prices
I have a 2006 MB C230 Sport and Star Auto Tech 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.
Service as explained, fast, reliable. Grateful I stumbled on this place, only 1/3 the price the dealership was going to charge me. Very friendly and easy to work with.
I bought a pre-owned Benz which started have issues. It was in and out of my previous German repair shop for repeating problems. It was never done right...until I just happened to notice Star Auto while at a gas station. Repairs are done right, period. The owner and his staff take great pride in their work. Estimates are right on point.
Cleaning service and attention. Handell a very kind person honestExcellent diagnosis for my car, complete clean and excellent work. This workshop head of the family, I recommend for any job you need for your car.
The personal attention to the costumer as well as the car is outstanding. The work is always on point and the pricing is very fair. I know with certainty my 2007 Mercedes S550 AMG is in excellent hands.
Coming to Star Auto Techs for years, Handel treats our cars like his own . Thank you for the great services. You can trust Star Auto Techs with your car.
I was stranded and these folks really saved me. Half the price of dealer and they fixed extra stuff for me!! Highly recommend
Excellent customer service. Simple drop off and pick up with very fair pricing. Much better than the dealership.
Handell has the best shop in in Broward his prices are well below other European car mechanic in the area. I am always pleased to do business with him.
Very professional and extremely detailed work for a very reasonable price.We have a 2009 BMW and recently had a major accident to the front end of the car. We had taken it for repairs to a body shop in Miami on a recommendation from the towing company which was the worst mistake. It took almost 3months to fix and when we got the car back EVERYTHING was wrong with it. Pieces were falling off, things that had nothing to do with the accident was wrong, parts were missing and later found out that inside the hood of the car they did not replace parts that were damaged from the accident.I found Star Auto Techs on google/google maps and went on a whim since the reviews were over the top and were from years back. From day 1 Handell has been extremely, extremely professional, courteous and very detailed. I went in with a long list of problems with the car and within 2 days he gave me a complete estimate (all reasonable prices). The work was done within a week and instead of just looking at the surface of the problems he went above and beyond and found the root of the problems.I would absolutely, 100% recommend them to anyone and everyone with a BMW and/or Mercedes. Will definitely be going back in the future for any minor to major services.
Handell and his team are the best -- extremely professional. The customer service is outstanding. They handled problems with my cars engine and convertible top motor. For each job, Handell kept me fully advised from beginning to end re: costs and progress, and he was quiet patient in explaining some of the more complicated (to me) engine issues. This is a quality shop.
Very professional, knowledge mechanics and good customer service.
Handell has worked on two of my BMWs over the years and trust him wholeheartedly. He is reliable, efficient, and have 100% confidence in his work and shop. Highly recommend him.
Hi everyone,I just wanted to take a few minutes to let you know about Handell and Roger at Star Auto Techs.I bought my car new in 2002 from Mercedes Benz. I have an S500 with the AMG Sport Package, and ALWAYS had my car serviced at the dealer, and also bought an extended warranty for any repairs.Well the warranty ran out some years ago, and I never knew of a cheaper alternative to the dealer, AND also get the same level of quality work as the dealer, UNTIL I was referred to Star Auto Techs from their old manager when they worked in Mercedes Benz Service, (There is a small shop in Pembroke Pines where I would get oil change, and simple work, but for the more complicated repairs, I needed an alternative to the dealership, and just by luck, the guy who referred me was their former boss at Mercedes).(Sorry for the long explanation, but I wanted to give you the whole story of how I found Star Auto Techs.)Their work is exceptional, and their prices are far cheaper than the dealership, and their attention to detail, and customer service is second to none! So if you have a Mercedes that is out of warranty, and you want a service center you can trust to be straight with you, and the same level of quality work that you would find at the Dealer (I actually feel their service is better quality) look no further!Where else are you going to find 2 great guys who know Mercedes, were trained to work on Mercedes, and are specialists on Mercedes?These 2 guys are a gem hidden in Pembroke Pines Florida!Next time you need great work, for a fair price, give them a call!With my regards,Larry A.
