I will never take my car anywhere else. Dave knows everything there is to know about Mercedes, he's honest, personable, and the prices are much better then anywhere else. I'd give him 10 stars if I could.

Dave is fantastic! He's the only one to touch my AMG. Not even the dealer is allowed to.
Now, just to find his equivalent for my BMW & Chevy... -

David had worked on my Mercedes a few years ago and did a fine repair job (just was needed) on my airmatic suspension system.
Recently my Mercedes S600 broke down and I had the unfortunate event of towing it to the dealership or "stealership" as some would call them. They had previously worked on my car so I thought the breakdown may be related to the past repairs. Not to my surprise, it wasn't, so they stuck me with a $1400 to replace just one pulley on my engine. Like clockwork, they called my back later with a laundry list of additional items that needed done totaling thousands of dollars. One which was $500 to replace the belt tensioner.
I remembered my positive experience with David at Apex, so I decided to cal him for a second opinion. David was patient, gracious and took time to explain all the fine details to me. He even looked up the cost of the part. Found out the part only cost $124 list price. The labor involved was removing 3 bolts (1/6 hour work according to the service manual). So basically, the dealership was planning on charging me $374 to remove and replace 3 bolts.
I confronted my stealership "service advisor" and told him the part only cost $124. Miraculously, he adjusted the price down to $200 for the part and labor (and made it sound like he was doing me a favor).
David saved me 60%! My only regret was not taking my car to Apex in the first place. I am looking forward to picking up my car from the stealership tomorrow and taking it to Apex Motorwerks and never looking back.
Granted the dealership has a great lounge, service advisors in suits and free coffee and espresso. But for the $800 or so that they robbed me of, that's one expensive cup of java! -

I found Apex Motorwerks after I bought my last Mercedes and met Dave when he moved into the neighborhood. Dave is a master Mercedes technician who knows what he is doing, and is upfront and fair with his pricing.
I would highly recommend Dave and Apex Motorwerks.Listed in: My Neighborhood

You will not find a better mechanic than Dave, he's thorough, timely and priced best.. for service that you will never question. I had to laugh at the "stealership" quote from another yelper.. The key with Dave is that he get the repair right on the first try, no hassles and completely the person you can trust both in terms of service value and the best job keeping your MBZ safe and reliable. Dave always goes the extra mile in service.. including ordering tires from Diamond for my wife.. and introducing us to another merchant that has his level of value and service too.

Being a female & not being astute re: mechanical problems , I have been satisfied 100 % with Dave & Apex Motorwerks over the last 5 years..
He goes that extra mile and explains - in detail - the problem and how it will be resolved. -

I was traveling in the area and had a wheel bearing fall apart on my Mercedes. Dave ordered a wheel bearing kit and had it in-hand by the time the tow truck had drug us over to Apex. By the time we had ate lunch, Dave had us back on the road! Amazing service! Thanks Apex!
