It turns out my old 1985 MB 300 TD is tough to get mechanics to work on. Once I finally found out about Lusti, they took on the work and did a great job. My car runs better than ever and I feel much more confident driving it. They also perform steam cleaning services. They are very organized and efficient. I like that. Thanks Lusti crew!

Super helpful and friendly. Brought my car in with the maintenance and tire lights on and they looked into it and even sent me pictures included in the full workup they did! I've never had anyone send pics of what was wrong before but it was super helpful. I will definitely bring my car back if I ever need something done. They even lent me a car while mine was being worked on. Thanks guys!

I was stoked to take my car for service because 1) they were close to home, and 2) they were comparable to the dealership prices...of course, I compared prices. They told me they don't usually like to give price quotes over the phone, but the price range would be $500-$600. Dealership was $615 for - spark plugs & transmission service.
So I take my car, the guy plugs the info in....blah blah blah, "you might need" this, "you might not"... $780. No. Felt like a bait & switch.

This was my first time dealing with Lusti Motors & my Audi A6 was currently at another shop not starting & being told they needed to replace a part that was $4,000.00 dollars & than see if that would fix it. I was born at Night , but not Last Night. I called Ryan at Lusti motors & explained my situation & he told me
have it towed over & we can look at it & guide you on any decisions if we can fix it or not. Best decision I made & they found the issue & saved me some serious money & now have me as a Customer for life. Ryan & the Crew were very polite

I have had good luck at Lusti for many years. This has changed rapidly for the worse. I took my S-430 in to have the automatic trunk opening failure diagnosed and hopefully fixed. After the initial diagnostic charge of $125 (which was not disclosed to me even though the paper work forged my acceptance signature), Ryan told me that he needed me to authorize another charge of $275 to diagnose the problem. I said NO! I subsequently took the vehicle down the street to MBS Automotive who diagnosed the problem for $99 (refundable if no diagnosis and applicable to subsequent work) and subsequently

Brought my car in last minute for a quick oil change and a handful of repairs that were needed. The team here has the best communication, and the report (with supporting photos) reassures you that their suggestions repairs are needed! Pricing is responsible to other shops of gone too, but same day in and out has me coming back!

Overall I am very pleased with the service I received at Lusti motors and would recommend them. I only have one complaint. I understand that car maintenance is a dirty job, however, I am very picky about the cleanliness of my car and expect that precautions are taken to ensure that oily hands do not touch things like my steering wheel, etc. Obviously this can be achieved by the tech wearing fresh gloves or washing hands before maneuvering the car, or, having an employee move and test the car who is other than the primary mechanic. Ryan apologized that they did not have time to wash my car because

So... I live very close to this place and walk by many times. They were beautiful cars in the front showroom and the place always looks immaculately clean. I never thought that my MINI and I would be able to handle repair costs here.
WRONG! on all accounts.
FIRST: I felt so welcomed and there was not a moment of intimidation or any feeling of unfriendliness.
Ryan, Service manger immediately welcomed me and got to working on my service report.
SECOND: They send you a diagnosis with illustrations and explanations that I could understand.
THIRD: They promised and delivered on time, Right???

I have had several major projects/repairs at Lusti Motors. I have a 46 year old classic Mercedes. I have spent a great deal of time and money rebuilding this car beginning ten years ago. Lusti installed a new air conditioning system about two years ago- a long job, very detailed. Another part which malfunctioned (which was not replaced at the time) was the fan switch. On this car it was a tedious job. Dale was the mechanic (Hope that's right- I'm relying on memory). The job was several months ago. He did a great job with the installation. Rudi, has been an advisor there for sometime,

As a first time client, I was very happy with the alternator replacement service I recently received. From the moment I walked in the door, I was immediately greeted by "Oscar" who's friendly help, kind and patient explanation of how they would first test related components, time frame of repair and price, I was fully informed when I left my car. In a relatively quick turn-around, my happy, washed car was back to running great! Thank you, Lusti Motors!

Boy am I glad I chose this place. I have owned German cars for over 15 years and counting and have been through multiple repair shops around the San Diego and Los Angeles area I have to tell you this place may look a little old but the customer service is Premier mainly due to a gentleman named Ryan Lawrence that is the local service writer. One of the more knowledgeable technicians and service writers I've met. Which has now made me a lifelong customer.

I came to Lusti for the very first time, after leaving the dealer where I had always taken my car. I had felt ambushed by the dealer when they surprised me with a terrible story about all the things that were suddenly wrong with my car (and I had taken it in every 6 months to AVOID surprises). Cost estimate was $2500. Wow. I had heard great things about Lusti, so I drove straight there. They did a complete checkup, paying particular attention to the areas the dealer had found. It would have been easy for Lusti Motors to tell me I indeed needed all that work, but that they would do it for $2300
