IMO. The myhotmercedes site has characteristics of a scammer,
even if it may be on the up and up. JMO.

I'll plus one on autohausaz from all reports I have read on their reliability

BUT

I think you guys are being a bit harsh. If you look at the website there is even a physical address for the company at
20819 Currier Road, Suite 100
Walnut, CA 55402

What that implies to me is that they are a parts re-seller rather than a direct supplier.

We have a similar place her in Australia and I have had success with them getting cheaper prices than I could source elsewhere so I tend to think myhotmercedes is the same.
And from the name it would at a guess be the "pet business" of someone interested in Mercedes and modding. I think we are quick to judge sometimes.

If you google their website and complaints...the list is pages and pages long of the same story. Pure snake oil.
And, myhotmustang and similar related sites should all be avoided too.

Stormtigers, your spidey sense wasn't tingling at all? They have been "gentle" with you, down under.

I've used autohousaz. They were inexpensive, they shipped quickly and I received authentic parts.

'Nuff said.
