Johncl is from that neighborhood. PM him and see if he has any recommendations. At least IAW with his published GPS coordinates.

...

morries auto
935 Kansas Ave
Kansas City, KS 66105
(913) 281-5300

guys name is morrie (obviously)

hes persian.... has had his shop for 20 something years... he graduated from ku with an engineering degree... his family has an mb dealership back in his home land....

hes worked on all my families cars that are out of warranty.... he works on all makes and models but mainly mbs...

hes by far the best price and fair... hell even let you watch them do the repair...

key thing to remember about this place is it is not a fancy place like aristocrat or mb of kc... no fancy sitting area to wait for your car... typical indep/hole in the wall shop.

give him a call.... tell him dr charles sent you... there are also tons of + recomendations about his shop on mercedesshopdotcom. customers have driven down from nebraska and iowa just to save money and have him work on there cars.

if your looking for something simple like an oil change... try aristocrat and ask for clinton. he charges me 19.95.

My coordinates do not lie.





There is a good one in the northland, but I can't remember what the name is off hand. I will look it up and get back to you. What area are you in?

Hey Carino, did you get all of your programming worked out?

got everything taken care of...

xenon set to present
cluster set to navi active
rear sam set for churp

i live in jefferson city now and a few weeks back i needed a new battery. so i called roadside assistance to install one and when they installed it they fried my rear sam. so the dealer (legends - columbia, missouri) replaced it. While they had the car i had them look into the seat trouble i was having... (wouldnt move back/forwards) ended up being a seat motor..... the service tech called me and i had him program the above mentioned....

since ive purchased this car heres what ive done

bix, clear fog lens, wood steering wheel, navi, updated key, k/ns...

next c/o and a amg body kit...

Good to hear! You would think that they would have been aware of the potential for rear SAM failure on the older c classes.

What is k/ns?

john and w8lifter...

if not already.. join mercedes benz club of america (mbca)

both dealers in kc offer 15% off of parts and labor....

so w8lifter..... with this membership (around 45/year) getting your car fixed at the dealer may be just a cheap.. or slightly higher than an independent shop.... a perk is youll get a free loaner car... hahah.. and a nice cold bottle of water with the MB logo on it in your cup holder...

if you need a service advisor at aristocrat... call clinton... 913.677.3300
