Service in South Florida

For all of you here in South Florida, Moosejaw told me about a great little independent shop in Hallandale, I went there today to have my oil changed. Had a oil change, new filter, and complete inspection, only 70$ and I waited only like 20 mins! Guy worked for Mercedes for 15 years, is a master tech. has all the mercedes equipment, can do diagnostics and everything!!!!!! Prices are easily half of what the dealership!!!

check it out and enjoy!

Rob

if it vanishes once more, i can assume it is not supposed to be there.

Another great shop i went to today
http://motronix.net/

Local in Fort Lauderdale. Reasonable rates for Service A and B. Knowledgable staff. Techs are from local MB dealers. Six or seven bays with four wheel alignment machine. Guys were very honest. Told me my repairs would be covered by existing warranty by the MB dealer. Didn't even charge me a diagnostic fee. Check em out

I use a place called Mercedeshop off of Biscayne Blvd. They were fair and honest with me and were cool even though I brought my own parts the first time I went there.

I take it back. They suck. I think they have new management or new mechanics, but either way I would not go there ever again. Total bad attitude and I would rather go to a dealer than to them. This last time they were the exact opposite of my first review. He was dishonest with the products he was gonna use on my car, condescending in every sense and I am glad I didn't let him touch the car.

Galt Ocean Mile?
Isn;t the minimum age like 71? No wonder you had so many cars.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I had a bad experience at this place today. I stood around for 10 or 15 minutes waiting. People in the shop looked at me but no one came to ask what I needed...what kind of service is that? It is a small place and I wasn't about to go walking on to the shop floor looking for someone to speak with. I eventually got fed up and left.

My review: Don't go here

Its in south florida just not on the East coast but, Encore Motor Cars here in Sarasota did my oil change for 100 bux and gave me $25 off card for my A Service in 13K miles. They have 2 MB master techs and 1 of the guys is an X service manager, they are legit and dont over charge.

Don't mean to bring up an old thread but do you know what they charge per hour?

I doubt youll get a correct answer as this is a very old thread and prices have probably adjusted to todays economy.

Yeah, I thought that as well but I'll swing by their shop on Monday to check them out. At this point, they're the best and closest option I have short short of going to the stealership.
