BenzNinja - Outstanding Customer Service & Solution

Peter configured the system the same day it arrived in the mail. He spent a good bit of time, configuring the settings and provided instruction. We were able to fix a head unit that I figured was long gone. Peter saved me from having to buy a brand new head unit in just a matter of minutes by coding and restoring the unit. The system paid for itself…

As far as updating any modules, I guess we'll see if my car needs anything once we get it all up and running.
I will echo what everyone has said that Peter is great about communicating. That was a huge point for me. I have some experience using Ford IDS equipment (had to rebuild an ECU once with as-built data and get through PATS) and remote tuning of Ford vehicles using SCT and Sniper software, and the communication isn't always great with people that are working / tuning remotely, BUT that doesn't seem to be the case with BenzNinja.
Will report back with results.
In my case, Peter at BenzNinja resolved a significant challenge with my C63S AMG cabriolet – specifically the factory Head Unit software requiring a restoration.
From the initial contact, Peter’s guidance was excellent. The additional support Charles provided was first class also.
All issues were resolved remotely - even though I am based in Sydney Australia, time zone constraints weren’t a challenge at all!
I spoke directly with Peter also & he's extremely friendly, knowledgeable, professional & customer focused.
Somewhat of a rarity these days!
I'd highly recommend to anyone looking to remotely remedy issues or customize with coding options also – it’s a no brainer & a significantly cheaper option than taking it to my MB dealer for software remedy alone.
I would definitely use BenzNinja services again & am a very happy customer.
Hi,
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
He has been very helpful doing updates and troubleshooting when I purchased my lifetime membership.
You just need to buy an appropriate computer system and associated hardware. All was easy to understand so no issues when it all arrived.
The system must remain dedicated and no usage for any other tasks. He makes himself available and is very knowledgable.
There are things that the local dealer was not prepared to do or offer as they just do NOT have the experience.
The system did not work on my E320 2002 which was a bit of a shame as I need to factory reset my command module display unit, as Australia is not an option from the menu system.

BenzNinja service rating is not just 5 stars but 100 stars
I use BenzNinja’s services for almost 5 years now. I’ve put many posts a while back about how he transformed my car, 09 SL550, about the robustness of the system he built for me back then. For those 5 years, the system didn’t crash even once. Any time I have a question or task that I don’t know how to complete servicing my family cars, Peter has time and energy to work with me, never mind the 10 hours time difference. Just recently, I decided to refresh my system. Once I paid a very modest upgrade fee, a new hard drive arrived in mail in just a few days. I installed that new drive in a good, specially dedicated laptop ($100 on eBay) it took several hours for Peter to complete remote installation. And now, I have a brand new system with all the tools needed for repairs, updates, coding, etc. Working with Peter for those years, now I know what the service should look like!!!

Peter just recently enabled the ILS headlights on my W222. OMG what a game changer this tech is ! I wish I had done it a lot sooner.
First rate guy and first rate service. My own Benz tech joined as a member once he saw all that Peter can do.
I’ve worked with BenzNinja for over seven years and he’s really the best source for our complicated electronic systems. He’s helped me with my former SL65, SL55, my current GL450, CLS55 and S65. He knows these systems inside and out. You will not be disappointed. Do you have that nagging system that no one can get to work? He can. Peter is the best!
He just deletes his threads when I've asked questions on what services he offers in greater detail....so I'll just make a thread myself then since transparency doesn't seem like something he wants to show.
All his (5) star reviews are from MBWorld he says....
So where are the real users here? What's your experience?
Guys is 100% legit and real.
If you like to work on your mercedes by yourself(since 99% of the mechanics and dealerships are dogshi***), that's the person you want to have your back!
Amazing guy with big knowledge, always respons right away.
Helped me with fixing at least 5 major issues that i have.
The biggest problem that I have was with the esp module, I replaced it with a brand new unit, new unit has been programmed in the autel and I was still having esp malfunction on the dash. I made thread on the forum, but nobody couldn't help me. I bought Ninja, told him I have a problem with ESP, I gave him an access to the computer with his software, he started to digging and as soon as I told him that esp module was programmed in the autel, he closed everything, told me to plug in old module, then I plugged in a new module, 20 min job done, no more malfunctions!
We just fixed another issue that I have with my fan. Told him I need help, he called me right away, I gave him the acces to his software(on my computer that was connected to the car), we started to go through everything step by step, 30 min later issue fixed!
The best part about it is that you can learn a lot just by looking on what this guy is doing, how he troubleshoot, coding, programming etc.! And it seems like he wants to you learn, many times i asked about something and he insted of giving my answers right away, he's giving me manuals, files, cut sheets, so I can actually read something, learn something and answers my questions by myself.
Thanks to him, I'm super confident with owning mercedes, I know I can fix everything with his help, it's just amazing to have guy like him as your backup!
Recommend, recommend and once again recommend!
I am super picky when it comes to the mechanics, thats why im doing everything by myself, but if this guy will have shop in US, that would be the only person that can touch my car.
