Reliable/Trustworthy Shop for MB in South Bay

Hello

My c230 is out of warranty. I am already getting some funky electrical errors (71,800 miles) and I do not trust the dealerships. Would anyone know of any reliable/trustworthy MB shops in or near the south bay? (i live in redondo beach) i searched forum before posting. Many thanks !

Hyevon Motors down in Huntington is a great Indy shop. One of the best places in SoCal hands down. Serge has always taken care of my car. Cool guys. Definitely check them out!

+3 for Hyevon Motors as well.

Serge is a dope guy too. Too bad he doesn't do drugs. Me and Rollnnn always hot box his office. By the time he finishes the smoke is gone and he always comes in and says "Smells like Skunk" and me and Rollnnn look at eachother and say "Hell yeaaa it does smell like skunk..that's the Armenian Pinoy Skunk!!!!"

His prices are great too and I've never seem him rip anyone off...I mean he sometimes rips it in his pants but never cheated anyone.
