Amazing staff that always goes above and beyond to assist their customers. Their work is absolutely wonderful, thorough and efficient. They also provide preventive work that helps to avoid costly repairs. Prices are very reasonable and they provide extra care items with no charge. Wonderful professional old fashioned work ethics you rarely see now a days. Wish they would work on all car types aside from Benzes! :)

Let me start by saying Alex and Brent are AWSOME!!! Since the first phone call when Alex answered he was very helpful and not pushy at all. They took great care of me and my car. Very professional always answers the phone or email s. Prices are very very reasonable. Highly recommend this shop.

The real deal. Rick and Gary are at the top of their game. Their business is run like a fine Swiss watch. Over 15 years we have been taking our vehicles to their shop. Ever time the service is excellent. The dealerships could learn a lot from the team at South Bay Autohaus. Thank you for the outstanding customer service.

THE HONEST CALIFORNIA MERCEDES-CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP: SEE DETAILS BELOW. Nobody outperforms this auto repair shop or crew at Mercedes-Benz. I drive more than an hour to have my C320 seen to by Gary Flanagan, his able son Brent, and Rich, and Alex and the team here every time because it's like taking your Rolex to a Rolex watchsmith: they're experts trained to restore your priceless product to its correct state, each and every time, and they do it for far, far, far less than their competitors, and far, far, far, better. Note to Los Angelenos: do your maintenance there so you won't need to get repairs in LA. It's worth the drive. Do it. First, location: they're near the 54, on Trousdale, the street across from the big shopping center in Chula Vista/South San Diego that contains the Hobby Lobby that I can't resist, opposite side of the street. Easy to get to, lots of places to park (usually: they're in demand though so you might need to wrestle a bit for a good spot). Second, presentation: they're super clean, spotless, friendly and hospitable and offer hands-down the best coffee I've experienced in San Diego County. Fans of retro televisions and other analog tube and wire pleasures are recommended to come here and see what's in the lobby, courtesy Rich, one of the shop's Benz experts. You can also peruse the lovely new and used MBs on fare in their checkerboard lobby. Sheer Mercedes porn for those of us interested. I swear I will buy that convertible... Third, technical expertise: unlike the equally wonderful and Fresno based Baroque Motors, South Bay Autohaus is Mercedes-Benz Dealership Certified, meaning (the bad news) don't come there bringing off-market parts expecting an install. They won't accept them. The good news however is don't come there bringing off-market parts expecting an install. They won't accept them. When your budget is weak you'll mourn this. Once your budget improves, which, as a Mercedes owner you'll notice it will, eventually, you'll praise them for this lol. The Flanagans and team are Mercedes-Benz experts who have been repairing MBs for D-E-C-A-D-E-S: there's nothing your car will present they haven't seen. Bonus: they're great at intuitively sensing what the problem is then using data and electronics to confirm. Brent in particular, a Millennial, is great at this. There's nothing MB Brent doesn't know. Alex and Rich are great too, and para mi habladores de español, Alex habla español perfectamente incluyando dichos so rock and roll. You'll be treated with respect and courtesy. Have at it. Fourth, price and speed: South Bay isn't going to rip you. They're committed to treating Mercedes owners with the courtesy we all deserve and expect as fans of the greatest car brand in the world. They're MB geeks and they get it. They know how you baby Your Baby. But, unlike German-American Mercedes repair shop owners, *they won't scold you and assume YOU were the one who caused the problem*. Instead, Gary, son and team know Mercedes is a finnicky brand for exacting people, and that the minor issues the brand presents UNDER STRESS are well worth the ABSOLUTE PERFORMANCE of the brand. If Mercedes-Benz ownership were a cult, South Bay Autohaus is its Temple. Again to my fellow LA peeps, MAKE THE DRIVE TO THESE PEOPLE. IT'S WORTH IT. And, re: speed: I have never even once had to wait longer than 12 hours for a repair. Gary will even situate you in a loaner Benz; but you likely won't need it. Go have a coffee or a meal then return: your car will be usually done. This is the greatest specifically Mercedes-Benz repair shop in the nation, and I speak as someone who has taken her Benz from SD and LA to Scarborough MAINE and back to various MB shops and dealerships. If MB repair shops across the nation can't outperform South Bay Autohaus in humble Chula Vista, CA, then what are you waiting for? Take your Baby to the Creche that respects her: SOUTH BAY AUTOHAUS. And if you happen to be stuck in Fresno, too far to get to San Diego? Baroque Motors, its sibling. LA Hath Spoken.

We HIGHLY recommend South Bay Autohaus, very reasonable prices, excellent service, very nice people, years and years of experience. Its not where you go that matters when looking for a quality auto repair, it's who is working on your car that matters. At South Bay Autohaus technicians are constantly trained on Mercedez Benz automobiles, plus years and years of experience is what makes them a highly qualified auto repair facility.

The crew at Southbay Autohaus is the very best. I have continued to purchase Mercedes cars for over 25 years because I absolutely trust them to work on my car and provide honest and reasonable quotes and service. I never have to worry. I trust them completely. They are absolutely so much better than the dealer. They are the reason I continue to love Mercedes cars!

Brent and the whole team are extremely knowledgeable, honest, and fairly priced. They always tell me what my car needs and never take advantage. My family has been a customer for over 20 years. Thank you to Brent and the Southbay Autohaus team for always taking care of us. Your honest work is genuinely appreciated more than we can express!

I have been coming here for years. I live in Carlsbad and my mother lives in Chula Vista. I schedule my services on the days I will be visiting with her because I trust no one else. You will have peace of mind knowing your car is serviced here because they are professional and dependable. The staff is so friendly, and Brent always goes above and beyond in customer service. He is amazing!

I can’t say enough great things about South Bay Autohaus! Their customer service is top-notch, and I always feel confident leaving my Mercedes in their hands. I actually drive all the way down from North County San Diego just to bring my car here — that’s how much I trust them. Brent is fantastic! He’s always helpful, patient, and ready to answer any questions I have. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and go the extra mile to make sure everything is done right. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and knowledgeable place to service your Mercedes, this is it!!

I recently had a nasty oil leak repaired on my Mercedes C250 and I'm extremely satisfied with the service. The staff was very professional, friendly, and helpful. They give you the sense of trust in their service. They clearly explained everything that they were going to do to find the leak and then explained what needed to be repaired to fix the leak. The repair was done really well and it only took one day and I also found the price to be very fair. Appointments must be made for all repairs. Many thanks to Brent and Alex for their help and service to get my car up and running smoothly. They really care about their customers and will do everything possible to make sure your car repairs are done correctly. This is my favorite repair shop and I would definitely recommend South Bay Autohaus to anyone in need of Mercedes car repairs.

I received great customer service and my car was ready by the end of the same business day. I appreciate the extra time that was given while explaining everything that pertained to the module that had to be replaced. I felt they provided quality work at a reasonable price and will definitely refer them when I hear a good mechanic is in need.

Honestly the best customer service! I’ve been coming here for about 6 years and i always feel taken care of. Everyone is so helpful and kind but especially Brent who has helped me with some pestering battery / electrical issues several times over the past few years. Communication is clear and efficient, they’re patient and thorough, and even though this is obviously a business and they need to make money, i genuinely feel like they’re super honest and they take care of their customers.
