Star Value Automotive
Star Value Automotive Services delivers superior customer service paired with comprehensive automotive service - all for much less than you'll pay at the dealership. David Wherry, owner and Master Certified technician, opened Star Value Automotive Services in 2011 after a 16-year Mercedes Benz dealership career.

David offers expert independent auto repair service for all makes and models in Sarasota, Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch. He has built his business through referrals and has become known as the "go-to Mercedes guy" by other local independent repair shops who frequently refer clients to him. Our customers keep coming back because they value his expertise, thoroughness, fair prices and integrity.
Services
Master Certified technician with 20+ years experience specializing in all levels of repair and maintenance for Mercedes Benz and BMW. David Wherry is a Master Certified Mercedes Benz Technician who spent 16 years as a lead technician and trainer at local Mercedes Benz dealerships before opening his own independent repair shop in 2011.
If you are looking for an experienced and affordable auto technician with integrity - you just found him! After receiving a shockingly high estimate from the local Sarasota Mercedes Benz dealership for needed repairs to my E320, I luckily found David! He inspected my car thoroughly, explained the problems in words I could understand, and ended up saving me over $1500!
Have you seen this? Mercedes Benz is known for making cars built to last. With regular maintenance and service, will your Mercedes Benz make it to the million-mile mark? Can I help you take care of your car along the way? I can provide Mercedes factory maintenance services for less than half of what it will cost to take your.

I called for an oil change and they only work on German cars. I still gave them 5 since I heard good things about them but didn't know they specialize only in German brands

This service was for a 2004 E500, which I bought new. The car is now 17 years old and this service was best this car has ever had. I had a specific problem, they diagnosed that specific problem and solved it at a very reasonable cost, the same day. They were great!

Lucky Find! A friend recommended David to me and I was pleasantly surprised at the level of service this repair shop offers. How many time have you gone to an auto repair shop and experienced the bum rush to get you out the door? Not so here! David took the time to listen to our concerns. I felt completely confident our car was in good hands, and I was not disappointed. The repairs were completed on time and at a fair price. I would highly recommend David and his staff!

I have used this place exclusively since I bought my CLK. They are always honest and are much less than taking it to the Mercedes dealer. Mercedes repair shops always have a standard to uphold to the people who own them. This place is outstanding. Thank you Star Value Automotive.

Dave’s Mom and Dad raised an awesome man you can trust This is my first review so please bare with me. My wife and I are senior citizens and we were visiting relatives in Bradenton Florida in January 2019. Our 2007 BMW X3 with over 100,000 on it developed a engine coolant leak which needed to be repaired before we drove back to upstate New York.… Star Value Automotive was recommended by my brother’s mechanic who lives in Bradenton. David Wherry the Master Certified technician who owns Star Value Automotive preformed the necessary repairs and we drove home without a problem. In

Wonderful experience. Fast, efficient, *very* informative about my automobile's condition, and very reasonably priced. I have to admit, the Mercedes dealership does have warm cookies while you wait, but it'll cost you about twice the price. Apparently, they're very expensive cookies :)
