I've used CK Auto for two repairs and a "B service" on my GLK 350, and I am super impressed! They do quality work at reasonable prices and they have an efficient shop with quick turnaround times. We have a one-car family and they were able to provide us with a loaner for this latest service, which I really appreciated.

The owner, Paul, is easy going and professional, and is really good about keeping you updated on the status of your car. It's an honest shop with excellent communication and top-notch customer service. I also really like their office, which has a lot of cool

While communicating from San Francisco to Santa Rosa, the dreadful “Check Engine” came on. I did a quick search, to find the top reviews on automotive repair, I was directed to Paul and his team.
I was able to drive up, discuss the issue, it was confirmed an hour later and repaired by 3pm.
True Customer Service oriented shop, and would recommend them for any preventive maintenance or for those “on the road” emergency repairs.
Thank you guys!

Victoria showed up with her sprinter van and left with more problems than she came in with. Had to get towed back to the shop on her own accord and they made no effort to make it right. Paul treated her with complete disrespect and made her feel very uncomfortable. Do not be fooled by pauls charisma, he will screw you over without blinking an eye.

Paul and the team really saved the day when our car broke down on the highway due to a broken belt on thanksgiving! Once the shop opened on the Monday after the holiday he called me right away and explained exactly what the cost would be and if anything additional came up (due to having to wait to put the new belt on and test the engine) he would call me right away. He added a new belt tensioner and belt all within the same day even though they were really busy due to the long weekend. It’s safe to say that I will be taking my car to his shop again and again. Can’t recommend CK auto exclusive

Bought a used E320 with some issues. CK did a thorough check, found a couple of issues that needed attention. Did a complete service and repair. Provided me with an excellent loaner car. Later I dropped by with some questions which were addressed quickly at no charge. Now I have great confidence in my new car.

Paul and his staff are amazing!!! Not only did they check on my car last minute to make sure it was safe to drive he was honest. I have taken my Mercedes numerous times to the dealer they would charge for things unrelated. I will never trust Mercedes benz of Santa Rosa again. Paul and his amazing team found my issue that I have been battling for years and fixed the problem same day, because they actually know what they're doing. I highly recommend them to anyone!!!!!

Paul and his team at CK Auto are above and beyond what I could have hoped for. I wish I lived closer to be able to have them as my regular mechanic. While at a wedding in the Santa Rosa area my car suddenly wouldn't start, we tried to get a jump and it did nothing. So with no idea what the problem was we got the car towed to CK Auto and not only did they figure out the problem quickly but ordered the replacement parts and got us back on the road in impeccable time. We could have been stranded for so much longer if CK Auto hadn't been there. They were so knowledgeable, communicated with us every

Remember how business's used to be? Where you would pay someone to do something, and they would do it with no problems? I drop my van off here and it gets fixed and then I pick it up. That's all there is to it. No drama. No fuss. No more things broken than when I dropped it off. It's just a solid run business. I drive from 2.5 hours away because I couldn't find a reliable Mercedes mechanic in my area. Dealing with these guys is a breath of fresh air.

C&K was recommended to us by a friend who also has a sprinter and we were not disappointed. We took the van in for a routine servicing and it was done within two hours and at half the price that the dealership would have charged us. We’re so happy to have found an alternative who we trust. Everyone there were very nice and helpful.

Paul and his crew are absolutely the best Mercedes mechanics there are in the area. Maybe even the entire state of California.... he is honest, reasonable, a great guy, and best of all is very competent. My wife also thinks he is great and this speaks to his ability to engender trust, to calm those that might be worried about their cars, and to bring his expertise to your MB. I have referred many people to his shop and I continue to do so whenever I can.

Paul and his staff are AWESOME! I live in Oakland now and I still travel to Santa Rosa for his services. When you are a happy customer you will stay where you are happy and know your car will be well taken care of.

It took my Mercedes-Benz to CK Auto Exclusive for 60,000-mile "B" service and for squeaky brakes. Paul was very good with explaining what was required for the "B" service and what was wrong with my brakes. I was in and out in the same day. He also provided a loaner car for me to drive while my car was being worked on. Now, my car drives smoother than before and there are no more squeaky brakes.

He'll definitely take thousands of your dollars, at least twice what the vehicle was worth in my case. Will he fix your car? Maybe maybe not

It is hard to believe any auto mechanic shop getting so many 5-star reviews, but wow, this place completely deserves it. If Yelp had separate categories for competence, customer-service, and price, Paul and his team would get 5 stars in all three categories. I live in Novato (35 minutes away) and I will never take my Mercedes anywhere else again.

I took in my car to the dealer for an oil change and was called to be told that my car needed a major repair however it had not been giving me any issues. I decided I needed a second opinion so I looked at Yelp and found CK Auto Exclusive. I immediately called them and they offered to take a look at my car and give me a second opinion. I took it in and they provided me with a second opinion and didnt charge me anything because dealer had already charged me. They were so patient and helpful and answered all my questions. I definitely know I will continue to take my car there from now on when needed

I have been bringing my AMG to Paul for the past couple of years. Not only does his shop understand the difference in service between Mercedes-AMG products, but he also knows the expectations of their owners. Clear and transparent service that is performance-oriented and personalized.

After my Original SL years ago I tried Jaguar, BMW, even Ferrari, and I'm back home with Paul and CK with a new SL. This is my go to shop for Mercedes. Paul knows what he's doing, is fairly priced, and always beats the dealer on time. I only go to the local dealer for recall warrantee issues, CK handles the stuff I pay for. A loaner to get me home and back and quick accurate communication about what needs to be done and costs. It rarely takes more than the day to finish. It doesn't get better than this.

My first time here after some researching and recommendations from friends . Met Paul the owner and he is super friendly and nice! He let me waited in his office when it's raining outside, he later offered to drive me to Cash & Carry where I will be meeting my mom. After couple hours my car was done and in great condition! Price is reasonable too Will definitely be back and will highly recommend any one who owns a Mercedes

Hello all

I wanted to share all to familiar story of getting your vehicle serviced by factory dealer service centers. MZB

I went to my local Santa Rosa Mercedes-Benz dealer for some service, they were very kind and Professional but they were very busy and backed up and it was going to take more than a week for me to get service and I was only in town for a few days visiting family, I decided since it was going to take a long time to use yelp to find a service center to get my car repaired before I drove back to Southern California, I happen to call CK service center 4-3/4 stars and the owner

I couldn't be more happy with my service here. I brought in a 2006 Sprinter van for a tune-up and some other random adjustment/repairs. Paul Duckworth was friendly and helpful. I don't know anything about cars and he did a great job of explaining everything. I will definitely return and solidly recommend.

My Knights in Shining Armor! CK AutoEXCLUSIVE is the BEST! Competent, Honest and Caring are the words that come to mind when working with Paul. As the new owner of a used Mercedes Sprinter Van, I was a bit nervous about purchasing it and when I found Paul, I hired him to do a complete 100 % assessment of the vehicle. After his assessment service, I had total certainty that I was purchasing the right vehicle for me! Recently while traveling across the USA, I ran into a bit of a learning curve with my sprinter van and I was a few 1000's miles from home. I called Paul and he was there as a Knight

Only place I take any Mercedes or AMG I own since the first day I met Paul. They're a standup group of guys who stand by their work. Best independent Mercedes service shop in the area and I have been to them all. Good enough I recommend them to my friends.
