I can recommend my coworker [Certified Star tech] but were here in Los Angeles. if you can drive up north a couple of hours then it would be much better than going to a dealer who will rape you $$$ wise or find one nearby SD area. Second if you are taking it to a mechanic, that is a problem, A mechanic only seeks possibilities of problems that may be wrong with your car, thus guessing after guessing until you have been taken for a ride and robbed of money "He tells you a filter is a proble, 2 weeks later same problem, guesses and says it's the pump" then again and again. A Technician seeks and finds the problem with your car and gives you an accurate [99.9%] assertive answer and does know what he is doing with your car using a Mercedes SDS. If you go to a dentist to see your throat infection and he tells you need to have your wisdom teeth pulled and maybe your tonsils removed, same thing goes with your car.
