They are very quick, honest and knowledgable. Sometimes Mercedes dealers will have my car for over a week on simple jobs, expect them to get it to back to you that same day, or the day after. Also, they only use OEM parts and the prices are fair. Definitely go to Peter if you own a Mercedes.…
Four things people keep writing
Grouped by what the reviews actually say rather than by date. These are 11 of the 69 reviews on Google, picked because they say something specific rather than just award a star. The count beside each heading is how many of the 11 mention it. Read the rest on Google.
They will not sell you what you do not need
The word that comes up more than any other is honest, usually alongside a story about a quote somewhere else.
We have been going here for years. I would trust Peter and whatever he says. They only do what's required. Nothing extra. They will accommodate you if there is an emergency. His entire team are kind and helpful. I find their prices to be very reasonable.
Plain and simple: these guys are the best in the area, knowledgeable and honest.
They know the car before you finish describing it
Working on one marque for thirty-two years shows up in reviews as people being surprised how quickly a problem got named.
Excellent service at a level of quality that you might normally encounter only in Germany, and at far better prices than a dealer.
Have been a customer here for many years and multiple vehicles. The service is on the same level as the dealers at a lower price. The service satisfies requirements for warranty for newer cars.
I brought a used Mercedes coupe to Silver Star Motors for a pre-purchase inspection. It took an hour, cost $150 and was money well spent to discover potential problems with the vehicle. Very pleasant and educational experience. I would suggest that any Mercedes owner consider this shop for service. Highly recommend.…
The dealership comparison keeps coming up
Unprompted, review after review measures the shop against a Mercedes dealership, usually on price or on how long the car was gone.
Phenomenal customer service, quality work, and much more affordable than A dealership. Peter the owner, is highly knowledgeable and will never charge you for something that is not needed. Extremely honest and efficient. I would highly recommend any Mercedes owner to go here!
All of the Benz dealerships in the DC Area could learn a lot from Peter and his team. I have never been disappointed.…
People do not leave
Several reviews are written by customers counting in decades rather than visits, and more than one mentions a second car in the same family.
Peter knows Mercedes like nobody else. We've been taking our cars there for maintenance and service for 20 years. He's meticulous, reasonable, and doesn't overcharge. He's taken such great car of our cars!!
No one knows Mercedes like Peter at Silver Star Motors, especially if you have an older Benz like I do. He always fixes everything right the first time. He's very honest and tells you what you need to fix and what you don't need to fix. I trust Peter 100% and have been going to him since 2002.
Peter and his staff are great mechanics and honest people. I have been using them for 15 years now on multiple cars. You cannot go wrong with this place.
Where these came from
Checked on 2026-08-31. Every quote is a Google review, reproduced word for word including its typos, and shown with the first-name-and-initial the shop has always used. Nothing has been reworded and nothing was written by us. Three quotes end in an ellipsis: Google itself hides the remainder behind a More link, so that is where the visible text stops.

Thirty-two years of this, and we would rather you asked around first
If somebody you know drives a Mercedes in this area, there is a fair chance they have been here. When you are ready, so are we.
