Mercedes Repair Shop In Louisville, Ky

Hi

Can anyone recommend a service shop for a 1999 Mercedes C230 Kompressor in or around Louisville, KY. The only one I know of is the dealer, Tafel Motors. Thanks!

I've been taking my C230 to Tafel, but they are a little pricey! I know the Volksdoktor works on Mercedes; I took my GTI there, years ago, with excellent results. I've been meaning to ask my uncle about this, he has several older M-Bs; I'll get back to you if he has any hot tips.

I took it to St. Mathews Imports last week for a pre-purchase inspection. So far, Carmax is fixing everything SMI found, including a new door strap, new battery, and window switch. I'm having a slight front end vibration between 50-70 MPH, SMI feels it's tire balancing. I'm leaving the car at Carmax to fix before I accept it. Thanks for the info!

99 C230K Sport Edition
i always take mine to Paul's Foreign Auto in Lexington http://www.paulsforeignauto.com/ . I have found them to be about 30% cheaper than James Motor Company (the local MB dealership). Paul is the best Mercedes mechanic i have ever met, and his son in law Brian is one of the top BMW mech's in the area. Paul has also designed a hydrogen fuel system that works flawlessly on MB's and drastically improves mileage.
