Better Wrench is the best and only place people should take their German cars to. Service is personal and thorough, and employees are so helpful.
I had taken my s550 to the Mercedes Benz dealership mechanics and they wanted to charge me 3,000$ for a 4$ part. A friend recommended a better wrench and the charges me 179$ to fix my car. Love this guys, honesty and integrity
I was recommended A Better Wrench by a friend who owns a Mercedes. My car needed repairs, and I had just moved to Chapel Hill, NC for work, and I had no idea about the new area. Once I contacted them, they were polite, calm, respectful, and extremely accommodating by explaining what was happening with my automobile. Unfortunately, there was a list of issues, but we tackled one thing at a time, and eventually got all of the “Musts” taken care of. The kicker is that my car is 20 years old with over 250K Miles. It’s amazing how well it rides since connecting with A Better Wrench. Try them, you won’t be disappointed.
Love this place. Always do great work at a very fair price.
I have taken two BMWs and a Mercedes Benz E300 turbodiesel to ABW over a number of years. Max Jr and crew have always been competent, honest and fair. I recommend them without reservation.
Locally owned business with extremely good service. Very friendly and helpful!
Very knowledgeable on Mercedes Benz. I wouldnt go anywhere else.
Very professional service and quite honest about what was needed and no additional upselling. I will definitely be going back for future service needs.
Completely satisfied, honest people.
Fantastic and trustworthy. My mom and I have been dealing with them for years. Want honesty go here. They take care of both of my Mercedes.
I have only had positive experiences and I do not get paid for this.
Very professional on the phone to answer my concerns.
The guys at A Better Wrench are the best. Theyre always friendly, helpful and honest about my vehicles needs.
My stepdaughter was looking for a used Mercedes and a friend referred me to A better Wrench. As soon as we walked in to the business we felt we were among family - and we were! It is a classic family business and they bring those family values to all of their interactions. We had spent months researching and fretting and negotiating other options, but with 5 days of our first visit we found the car of my stepdaughters dreams at a very good price. And best of all, unlike other car buying experiences, we felt good about not only our car but ourselves and the people who sold it to us.
These guys are hands-down the best. I am always re-assured when I talk to them that they know what needs to happen. The work on my car has been fast and fair. Theyre tremendous! If you need help with your Mercedes, these are the guys for you.
I needed help and they fixed my problem quickly, for no charge. Really appreciated.
I drive a MB S320 with 184k and finally found A Better Wrench. I now drive from SE Guilford County to get their expertise, good judgment, honest, prompt and friendly work. They operate with The Golden Rule. So glad I have found them in my extensive search. Thank you Max, Sr and Jr and Darren and all at A Better Wrench!
Max Jr. and the crew go above and beyond to provide excellent service. If you have an import car, I highly recommend this shop. Prices are always straightforward and reasonable too.
Last night, we were leaving Chapel Hill to return to Greensboro. Our battery light had come on, but we were hoping to make it home before we had to deal with it. No such luck -- we were on the road, driving, when all of our battery-operated stuff started fading and failing. We knew we needed to get off the road quick, and I pulled up auto repair shops on my phone -- what luck! There was one about a mile ahead.We pulled into A Better Wrench, and my heart fell a little when I saw they were a Mercedes-Benz and BMW place, because we were driving a Chevy Cavalier. We knew we couldnt go any further, though, so we walked in.They were the nicest people! It was about an hour before they closed, and it was raining and nasty. They still rushed to help us -- with one of them even driving to the parts store to get us a new alternator because they wouldnt deliver that late in the day. Less than two hours later, we had a new alternator, even though they had to stay some past closing to get it done. They would have been justified in charging us a rush fee, but they didnt -- it was extremely reasonable, on par with what I paid 10 years ago the last time I needed an alternator on this car.We were so lucky to be near them when our emergency struck!
I absolutely love this place. The workers are honest and profession and their work is amazing. They also have fair prices. I live in Virginia and I drive 3 hours to them to get my car serviced because I trust them that much! Best mechanics hands down!
Great place. Family business. They have been our familys top repair shop for decades. They specialize in Benz.
Indy repair shop. Very knowledgeable about Mercedes cars of all ages. Trustworthy, quick and high quality work and parts.
The team at A Better Wrench are friendly and good at what they do. Ive been taking my old Mercedes there for 3 years. At 302,000 miles, my 1999 e320 wagon shows few signs of old age, thanks to them. I highly recommend them for Mercedes service.
My daughter attends school at UNC. She is far from home as she is from Nebraska. I called A Better Wrench last week with an issue with her car. Max Jr answered the phone and I knew right away that she would be well taken care of. The car was diagnosed, & she was taken care of immediately! My daughter said that the employees were wonderful and I feel very comfortable that the repair was done well and at a fair price. As a parent, it feels good to know that they are there to help her with her car care needs. I would highly recommend them!
The ONLY place we take out Mercedes.
Honest, fast and cordial service!!
They deliver honest and quality service. Other local mechanics actually call these guys to ask questions about Mercedes and BMWs. If you drive either of these brands and youre going to the dealership, chances are youre not going to get the best value for your money.
Very good and honest shop.Run by professionals.they only repair Mercedes Benz.Have used them many times and sent friends and family.all satisfied.I own a repair shop but still take my and my wifes Mercedes to them.Have never been overcharged.Great family run shop who go the extra mile.

A BETTER WRENCH IS A GREAT EXCELLENT PLACE TO HAVE YOUR WORK & REPAIRS DONE PRAISE GOD HALLELUJAH 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 TO EXCELLENCE
Without a doubt, the best Mercedes service center in the Triangle, maybe in the entire United States! Honest, dependable, reliable and reasonable. ..Cant say enough good things about Max, Ruth and the entire staff!
Very honest, helpful people. Have been using them for 6+ years, wouldnt take my Mercedes anywhere else.
Utterly incredible service. Had an ignition problem and right on the spot they put in a temp ignition so I could drive away with the car.Very professional and courteous people. Its my go-to repair place ...
Outstanding customer service and know how
Great service for your auto with involved owners and mechanics. They really treat their customers and their cars right.
THE place to take your Mercedes Benz or BMW if you want an honest mechanic working on your car.
They do a good job servicing imports, probably equal to or better than the dealerships. I say this because a friend brought in his Mercedes suv, and they discovered that the dealership had actually damaged his oil drain plug but using the wrong plug, which lead to a slow oil leak.
Always so reasonably priced compared to dealer pricing
I drive a 15-year old BMW, and I needed an honest mechanic to help me through all the problems that come up with 15-year old BMWs. A friend recommended A Better Wrench, and Im glad he did. In the past two years, ABW has been my go-to mechanic for everything from annual emissions inspections, through oil changes, to misfiring cylinders. Their prices arent bargain bin, as they are a specialty shop, but they are very fair in their pricing and in their excellent service. I have two particular experiences where ABW went well above what I expected. The first was when I got rear-ended, and a body shop quoted the repairs at about $2500. The guys at ABW said oh we can just pop that bumper back in place with our hands, and they did. And they didnt charge anything for that. The second is when my engine was running poorly, and ABW first fixed a cracked... something. Cylinder wasnt holding vacuum, basically. But that didnt fix it. So they replaced the ignition coil. And that didnt fix it. And then they said, okay, were done charging you - were going to fix this and youre not paying anything beyond those first two bills. So they ordered some more expensive ignition coils on the house, got those set up (on the house), and now my baby is back to purring her way down neighborhood streets at 6000 rpm. Wonderful place, highly recommend for anyone with a BMW or Mercedes thats used or otherwise out of dealer warranty.
Knowledgeable and experienced people.
Lets be honest. Getting your car repaired is generally not at the top of the list of enjoyable things to do. However, I have been taking my cars to Max Scroggs and A Better Wrench for almost 30 years and have ALWAYS had a great experience. I challenge anyone to come up with a more knowledgeable, professional and friendly group of people for Mercedes sales, service and repair. I have been driving pre-owned Mercedes for most of my life but there is no way I could afford these cars if it was not for buying them from Ruth at ABW Imports and having Max and his team at A Better Wrench handle the service. We are incredibly fortunate to have them in this area. If you havent worked with them before then give them a try. You will be glad you did!
Fast, Friendly and Reliable - would not take my baby anywhere else!!
Service doesnt get much better than this. Reasonable, reliable and honest.
The best customer service I have seen in a long time plus the car service is A+++++++++
Did solid work, great service. A little on the slow side
We have depended on ABW for twenty years to find and service our Mercedes automobiles (gas and diesel), and always recommend them to friends and colleagues. Knowledgeable, practical, and a pleasure to work with.
I have had several great experiences there with honest advice, fair prices and good work. I no longer have to pay dealer prices for maintenance and service thanks to ABW.
I only take my current 83 mercedes 300D (or for that matter any of the other 6 mercedes benz that Ive owned in the past 13 years as well) to the Better Wrench. The service and work is always stellar! I have and will continue to recommend your business to other mercedes people. I refer to yall as my mercedes yodas.
I am extremely grateful for ABW. The have serviced all 3 of my cars over the last 15 years. I dont ever have to worry about my cars service or what they need. ABW does all the thinking, and I trust whatever they say. In addition, Cameron and Rob have given great advice over the years about buying and selling.When two family members needed new cars, they wanted MBs, not because it was a MB, but because they wanted their cars serviced at ABW!There was a billing snafu last time, but Daren (sp?) fixed it with one phone call, really nice guy!
Great!
How can any business thrive despite the absence of advertising and signage?Theyre THAT damn good.
Great service, very honest and fair prices
