Omaha/Iowa area shops?
Hey guys, I'm looking for any shops around the omaha, NE area that anyone could recommend. After the parts guy at M-B of Omaha gave me the V6 oil filter kit when I said "2.8 Inline Six", and refused to refund me for it since I broke the seal (whilst I had the car on my lift changing the bloody oil). Hey, it was my first oil change on this beast! I didnt know what they looked like, lol. Anyway. Any shops around here? Or any MBworld users with a 202 wanna cruise on the weekend? I've seen at least 10 different 202' bumbling around omaha.

How about Papillion?
I used a great shop called Papillion Foreign Motors for my BMW's when I lived in Omaha. The owner Rick is a great guy, and very knowledgable. I always felt they were reasonable, even on some major repairs I had done.
They can be reached at 402-330-8460.

Cool beans, Ive seen at least 3 w202's here on base, and figgured at least one of em would have to be on club202 or here. I just had such a 'fun' time with MB of Omaha that I started looking for an independant shop. Just got here in april, still settling in with my newest silver arrow.

A great shop is Star Class Motors at 731 North Frontier Road in Papillion, NE. It is owned by Mark Bertelsen who previously worked at the local Mercedes Benz dealership for 15 to 20 years. He knows these cars and all of the possible trouble spots and does the job right. He also is a qualified installer for the Tire Rack and does a terrific job balancing wheels.
His number is 402-932-7827.
