Who we are
A Mercedes shop, not a shop that also takes Mercedes.
Beach Benz has been on Slater Avenue in Huntington Beach since 1990. In that time we have worked on more than 10,000 Mercedes-Benz — from W123 diesels and R107 SLs to the newest MBUX cars that roll off the lot at the dealer down the road.
Every technician here is Mercedes-Benz factory trained, and we own the same Star Diagnostic and Xentry equipment the dealer uses, including online SCN coding — so there is no module in your car we cannot read, program, or replace. Because we only see one make, we also know what breaks and when.
And because we are independent, you get all of that without dealer pricing or a service advisor standing between you and the person doing the work.
We will show you the part that failed, explain what caused it, and tell you plainly what can wait until next time.

What it includes→Why owners drive past the dealer
Four reasons people stay with us for decades.
01
Factory-trained technicians
Every technician in this shop is Mercedes-Benz factory trained. Not "German car experienced" — trained on these cars, on the factory procedures, and kept current as the platforms change.
02
The same tools as the dealer
Star Diagnostic and Xentry, with online SCN coding. We can program and code modules exactly the way the factory does — without dealer pricing.
03
You will hear the truth
We show you the failed part, explain what caused it and tell you what can wait. If a repair is not worth doing on your car, we will say so.
04
Genuine parts, sensibly chosen
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts where they matter, quality OE-equivalent where they do not, and a clear explanation of which we used and why.
From our customers
Owners who found us and stopped looking.
“Beach Benz saved my E55 when two other shops said it needed a new engine. These guys actually understand Mercedes engineering.”
David Chen
W211 E55 AMG · W221 S550
“I drove past three dealers to get here. The difference in knowledge and honesty is night and day. My family brings all four of our Mercedes here.”
Sarah Mitchell
W204 C300 · W166 ML350
“Finding a shop that can work on both my classic SL and my daily driver is nearly impossible. Beach Benz handles both with the same level of expertise.”
