C230 Kompressor
Mercedes shops in LA Area

What up everyone!?!

I'm a brand new mercedes owner and I LOVE IT! Got me a C230 Sedan Kompressor. Not as high ends as everyone else's here but I still wanna baby ma girl! I'm from the LA area and would like to know what shops are recommended for mod parts and work? Oh, and where do the local benzos go for a clean wash and wax?... My ride is black and I need to find a wash that won't leave swirls or nothin. Hope to hear from everyone soon. Thanks in advance!

Welcome and congrats on your purchase. You got a lot of car for a good price(not like us stuck w/the 240 ). Anyways I highly recomend for wheels and kits to go to F1-Motorsports, I've had ALMOST all my work done there and there are nothing short of really professional and don't try to rip you off to make a lor of money from you(which I'm surprised 'cuz I always see new 7 series going in for HRE 22's! And you know you gotta have bank for that!). Then make sure you go to Evosport for your exhaust, pulleys, etc. You can rest assured that they have the knowledge and expertise to work on your car. HIGHLY recomend them. And then if you didn't get comand make sure you give our resident Euro Pimp Steve a holler. There is a thread under "euro comand in LA" for info. I can go on but I'll shut up now. Good luck w/your car, and make sure you DON'T take it to no cheapo place for mods-it's a MERCEDES!
