Pearson Washer

For four decades, Pearson Washer has been a trusted name in high-performance automotive care, standing as the owner and lead technician of Cupertino Mercedes. Bringing 40 years of hands-on technical experience to the bay every single day, Pearson has built a legacy grounded in mechanical precision, uncompromising standards, and a deep-seated passion for the Mercedes-Benz marque. Under his direction, Cupertino Mercedes has grown into the premier independent destination for drivers who demand dealership-quality service with the personal touch of a true local craftsman.



Dealership Training & Technical Education

Pearson’s journey toward becoming a master auto repair specialist began with a rigorous technical foundation. He received formal automotive education through trade school before completing factory-backed Mercedes-Benz certification programs through authorized dealerships. Pearson spent his early career working directly within the franchised dealer network, gaining invaluable exposure to factory diagnostic equipment, complex engineering standards, and technical service bulletins directly from the manufacturer.

This dealership experience provided Pearson with a comprehensive understanding of Mercedes-Benz engineering across generations—from classic mechanically injected models to today’s complex digital, hybrid, and computerized powertrains. Armed with factory-level insight and trade school fundamentals, he transitioned from dealer bays to carry on a proud family tradition.

Carrying Forward a Family Legacy

Cupertino Mercedes is more than just a repair shop; it is a family legacy. Pearson took over the business from his father, preserving a long-standing commitment to honesty, transparency, and top-tier workmanship. By taking the helm of his father’s business, Pearson united decades of family heritage with his specialized training as a Mercedes-Benz dealer.

Under Pearson’s leadership, the shop maintains the warm, customer-first environment established by his father while integrating modern computerized diagnostics, high-grade OEM parts, and advanced repair techniques. Clients who bring their vehicles to Cupertino Mercedes know they are not dealing with service advisors focused on quotas, but rather with an owner-operator who treats every vehicle as if it were his own.

High-Speed Precision: The Motorsport Advantage

Pearson’s passion for mechanics extends far beyond the workshop floor. For many years, he competed as an active motorcycle racer—a hobby that deeply influenced his approach to automotive care. In motorcycle racing, high speeds and tight tolerances mean that every bolt, valve, and adjustment can mean the difference between winning a race and mechanical failure.

This background in motorsport gave Pearson an extraordinary eye for detail and an intuitive feel for engine dynamics, suspension tuning, and brake performance. The same meticulous standards required to prepare a race-ready motorcycle are applied to every Mercedes-Benz that enters Cupertino Mercedes, ensuring smooth operation, optimal horsepower, and maximum road safety.

Unrivaled Expertise in Mercedes-Benz Repair

With 40 years of experience in auto repair, Pearson possesses an intuitive understanding of the nuances of German engineering. Whether diagnosing intricate electrical faults, performing routine A/B factory schedule maintenance, tuning suspension components, or carrying out major engine overhaul work, Pearson applies decades of specialized knowledge that general repair shops simply cannot match.

By specializing exclusively in the brand, Pearson ensures that every vehicle receives precise diagnostic procedures using equipment designed for Mercedes-Benz systems. Drivers benefit from faster turnaround times, accurate troubleshooting, and durable repairs that protect the longevity and resale value of their luxury vehicles.
