Orion Auto Service Inc. at a glance

Customers frequently praise Orion Auto Service for transparent pricing, detailed inspection reports with photos, and clear communication regarding repairs, particularly for European vehicles. The shop is noted for its punctuality, friendly staff, and ability to diagnose complex issues that other mechanics missed. However, some reviewers expressed dissatisfaction with unexpectedly high final bills compared to initial estimates, longer-than-expected wait times for simple services, and isolated incidents involving unresolved mechanical issues or missing personal items.

As a woman and the owner of a 2006 Mercedes C230, I initially felt somewhat overwhelmed trying to find a repair shop I could truly trust. I did some research and found Orion Auto Service after reading so many positive reviews, and I can now say those reviews were absolutely right. This company is the real deal! From the beginning, I was treated with the utmost respect, kindness, and transparency. You can truly feel that Orion is a family-owned business that cares about its customers. I had previously spent money elsewhere to have my door panel repaired, only for it to continue rattling. The team at Orion addressed that issue along with several other repairs my car needed. After having my suspension repaired, my car drives so much smoother and feels completely different. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner's daughter. Unfortunately, I cannot remember her name, but she has such a beautiful spirit! She was incredibly warm and welcoming, and I honestly felt like we could have talked for hours. The hospitality was just as memorable as the service. They even had tres leches cake and offered me a piece! It may seem like a small gesture, but it perfectly represents the kindness and welcoming atmosphere I experienced while I was there. I've been to many auto repair shops over the years, but Orion was truly the epitome of hospitality, professionalism, and kindness. Most importantly, I finally feel like I've found an auto repair shop I can trust. I'm extremely grateful to the entire staff at Orion Auto Service and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thank you again for taking such great care of me and my Mercedes and for providing such excellent service!

These guys are straight shooters with no nonsense. I wish I would have taken my vehicle here first: it would have saved me thousands. They give you a detailed report for your car with pictures to illustrate findings, all color coded from green for pass to red for needs work. No guessing, no games, no stringing you along for a series of needless repairs. If you drive a Euro car, don't waste your time or money elsewhere.

Orion Auto Service took care of a stubborn front suspension noise on my M550i. It took some digging to track down the whole cause, and when additional work was needed to fully resolve it, Marlon (owner) was extremely fair with the final invoice. Orion was straightforward, easy to work with, and communicated well throughout. That kind of integrity is hard to find. Highly recommend.

Response from the owner · a week ago

Thank you Tristan! Tracking down a stubborn suspension noise takes patience, and we are glad we found the full cause and properly repaired this for you. Thank you for trusting us with your M550i, and for the recommendation.
